not getting key press events

[David Thielen]

In my form (called using ShowDialog(hParent)) I have the following:

this.KeyPress += new
System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(this.SelectSelect_KeyPress);

I never get an event. Why?

thanks - dave

Are you trying to capture key presses on a particular component or on
the entire form?

Try to set the KeyPreview-prop on the form to true.
