Hi,
I'm hosting a .net windows form in a browser.
The web form reacts to accelerator keys and key-down events but i
cannot get notification about these events when the form is hosted in
the browser.
Is this a known problem?
Any known solution?

Thanks,
Toby.

If you make the event handlers in the Windows form public, you can call
them manually from client-side script functions.

Thanks Bryan.
But this is not an acceptable solution for me.
The form contains a toolbar with shortcut keys and it doesn't make
sense that my script (or any new script that hosts my control for that
matter) will have to know these shortcut keys and their handlers.
I'm sure i'm missing something here - there must be a 'right' way to do
that, no?

Toby.
