If I use this code for a derived datagrid, both overrides are hit when I
press F5 whether there is an active cell or not. If I add a menu handler
that uses F5 to the form holding this control, only the ProcessCmdKey is
hit. I am using .NET 1.1 and WinXP. Do you have any utilities running on
your system that might make special use of F5?

public class MyDataGrid : DataGrid
{
protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
{
 if(keyData == Keys.F5)
  Console.WriteLine("ProcessCmdKey");
 return base.ProcessCmdKey (ref msg, keyData);
}

protected override bool ProcessDialogKey(Keys keyData)
{
 if(keyData == Keys.F5)
  Console.WriteLine("ProcessDialogKey");
 return base.ProcessDialogKey (keyData);
}
}
