Re: preventing controls from handling key events

[Sergey Bogdanov]

You can suppress alphanumeric key by using KeyDown handler together with
KeyPress handler but this method doesn't work for Up/Down keys in the
multiline textbox. To avoid this problem use OpenNETCF IMessageFilter to
handle WM_KEYDOWN for your control. Here's how to accomplish it:

The same technique can be used to ComboBox control.

Hope this help,

Thank you Sergey, IMessageFilter is what i was looking for.

How do you get the control to get the events in the first place?
Under smartphone, they are not getting to the control?
