Folks I have web browser control on a form, but unlike other controls it sinks keyboard & mouse events, denying the containing form access through keypreview/keypress. Specifically, I have alt and ctrl key shortcuts on my main menu such as F5, ctrl-F and ctrl-N. The web browser assigns well-known meanings to these. I want it to passively display DHTML and respond only to PgUp, PgDn and mouse clicks so that my (>10 yrs old) main menu shortcuts still work. I thought perhaps I could attach an event handler to the <body> tag of the browser document along these lines: <body onkeypress="CancelCtrlAltBubble()"> function CancelCtrlAltBubble() {if (window.event.ctrlKey||window.event.altKey) { window.event.cancelBubble = true; /* although I might want to do something else here */ }} This certainly traps alt and ctrl key strokes, but as discussed at msdn the top level event handler is the HTML document object. This does not get us back to the control's container and VFP keypreview/keypress handling. Any clues on how do this? It's probably something really simple. In the mean time, I have changed my shortcuts to F2-F4 & F6-F10 which are not intercepted.
