We need to handle this event in the base form, regardless of which controls currently have focus. We have a couple of global key commands that need to work regardless of control focus.

This works by handling the PreviewKeyDown event in the form normally. When we add a user control to the form, the event no longer fires.

Am I missing something trivial here? Or do we need to handle the event in the user control first?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks Factor. When I get more time :) I'll get it working 'properley'!
