Right, when Web Browser control has focus almost all keyboard input is directed to it. I guess, you can use Javascript on the page to handle it.
If it's just a background you can disable the control so it cannot receive focus.

>Yes, as soon as the form gets focus again, the hotkeys work. But when the web-controls has focus/is activated they don't work anymore

>>>The control works splendid but i have a bigger issue which forces me NOT use the control :
>>>Our program has a lot of hotkeys (F2, F6, CTRL-F1, ...). I used our baseform as the base of the background-form with the web-control but as long as you don't click on the browser-control out hotkeys works perfectly...
>>>BUT once you clicked the control nothing works anymore. I tried triggering the Keypress-event of the web-control (put a 'set step on' in it) but the event does not respond.
>>>Any idea how i can trigger the keypress's of the web-control ?????
