    I am deriving a class from ComboBox. I override OnKeyPress. But OnKeyPress never gets called! Anyone knows whether there is anything special I need to be doing? Nish

    Ensure that IsInputKey/Char returns true for that key; if it returns false you won't get the OnKey* events. James Simplicity Rules!

        I did this :-

        protected override bool IsInputKey(System.Windows.Forms.Keys keyData)
        {
        base.IsInputKey(keyData);
        return true;
        }

        But still OnKeyPress never gets called! Nish

              I overrode WndProc and found that the WM_KEYDOWN message is not being received :-(

              protected override void WndProc(ref System.Windows.Forms.Message m)
              {
              base.WndProc(ref m);
              if(m.Msg == 0x0100)
              Text = "Hello World";
              }

              Nish p.s. In an MC++ program I can #include windows.h to get the defines for various messages, in a C# program how do I get the defines for messages. Above I have hardcoded 0x0100 [WM_KEYDOWN]

                  Find in Files for WM_KEYDOWN ;P There are a couple programs out there which will let you get the constants but I find it much easier to just do a Find in Files. James Simplicity Rules!

                    Incidentally there was a discussion about this in one of my articles Link Don't use WndProc, use PreProcessMessage.

                      How your article works. I see that OnKeyPress is getting called. :) Ofcourse highlighting text by mouse doesnot work in your combo box. :(
