>>>>I am developing an application where it has become neccasary to fall into a loop and process keypress events from the active form and process click events from the buttons on the form.

The click events from the buttons get processed but the keypress event on the form (and it does have keypress preview on) never fires. Anyone know why ?

Cetin,

In this case the keypress truly doesn't fire at all, or at least this seems to be the case. The information above is usefull none the less, thank you for your comments.
