PRB: Form's KeyPress Is Not Fired When ActiveX Control Has Focus

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a new form with a command button and an ActiveX control. Use an ActiveX control with a KeyPress event, such as the Calendar control. Set the KeyPreview property of the form to .T. (true).
2. Add the following code to the following events (assumes default object names are used). When finished, save and run the form.
   • Form1.KeyPress:

     WAIT WINDOW "Form" TIMEOUT 1

   • Command1.KeyPress:

     WAIT WINDOW "Button" TIMEOUT 1

   • Olecontrol1.KeyPress:

     WAIT WINDOW "control" TIMEOUT 1
     						

3. With the form running, set focus to the command button and press any key. Watch the Wait windows in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Note that the KeyPress event of the form fires before that of the command button.
4. Set focus to the ActiveX control and press any key. The form's KeyPress event does not fire, but the control's KeyPress event does.
