Hi,
I've have had occasional problems with trapping "CTRL + something" via KeyPress.
Recently I wanted to trap for "Ctrl+Ins" but couldn't with the KeyPress event. After some research I finally discovered that some CTRL combinations have special meanings and are apparently excluded from the KeyPress event.
Somewhere on Microsoft's web site I found their list of special key combinations. Might be worth a look.
"Ctrl+Ins" has a Windows meaning of copy to clipboard. I think it may be an old (Borland?) standard Windows still suports. For my purposes I worked around this with some kludgy ON KEY LABELs. They seem to often work for me when the KeyPress event won't. Best wishes!
