KeyPreview not handling KeyUp Event before control does?

You should override OnProcessCmdKey() instead. It runs early, ensuring that no control could steal the keystroke.

So this should have been a no brainer. I typed all that out only to realize I should have been handling KeyDown instead of KeyUp. KeyUp obviously fires AFTER the KeyDown of the TextBox, even though it does fire before the KeyUp of the TextBox.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
