VB2003 Windows Form KeyPress event handler not firing
I'm got a Windows application pretty much finished. One of the last tasks is to allow the user to fire buttons using keypresses. I thought this would be fairly trivial. I was able to get a new Windows app with an empty form to fire this event.
However, when I try to implement a KeyPress handler in my current application, the event doesn't seem to fire. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be?
Here's the handler:
Private Sub Main_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPr
Select Case e.KeyChar
Case "1"
Case "2"
Case "3"
End Select
End Sub
Thanks!

Well, I had determined that the reason nothing was firing was that the focus was being set to a button... and so I had to trap the Keypress event for EVERY control on my form. I like your approach WAY better. :):)
BTW: Works fine for a non-MDI form, too.
Thanks!
