borland builder MDI modal window key down event

In Borland Builder an MDI application has a Modal window which is not a Child window. For non-child modal windows, how does one get the OnKeyDown event?

Ok DrDelphi - heres the deal - it works almost all the time - it doesnt work the first time, ie if you start the app, open a modal non-child window, and then hit the MODAL form's OnKeyDown event - once you close the modal window, and reopen it, the code you gave works great - so im stumped

the solution looks pretty good - just needs small fix

Hmmm.. sounds like a timing issue. I'd check the return of FindWindow to make sure that the "Main" form is being hit.

Good luck!!
