Hi

I want to provide shortcut keys for different tab pages on my form (such as
Ctrl+H).the problem I'm facing is I don know on which control focus
currently is. I also want to handle up & down arrow keys. Is there any other
way than handling key press and key down on any control( such as handling
key strokes directly, no matter on which control the focus currently is)

hi swat
take a look at the Form.KeyPreview property, from the SDK:
"Gets or sets a value indicating whether the form will receive key events
before the event is passed to the control that has focus."

if you turn on KeyPreview on your main form, you can get the mainform to
handle all the shortcut keys that you want to work globally.

hope this helps your situation
