The form which has focus will be sent these keypresses, it seems strange the the topmost form (which would normally have focus) isn't getting them.<br />
<br />
I assume you are using an OnKeyDown handler in the form? You might like to make sure that KeyPreview property for the forms is set to true...<br />
<br />

new thing : <br />
I put the following procedure on each form : <br />
<br />
Procedure CMDialogKey( Var msg: TCMDialogKey );<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;message CM_DIALOGKEY;<br />
<br />
and when I press VK_Left or Right, it's the procedure in the hidden window which is executed...<br />
<br />
So, it means that the hidden window always have the focus...<br />
<br />
I put a Form2.setfocus on the OnShow event of the topmost window but it's the same.

Have you tried it with a simple OnKeyDown event in the form?<br />
