KepPress event not handled in FixedToolWindow - Docking/MDI for Windows Forms Forum

I have a 'Find' fixed tool window that is always visible. When the focus is in the text box all key press events that have handlers in the main window's toolbar are handled by the toolbar rather than the control that has focus. For example, pressing the 'Del' key. How can I stop the toolbar from steeling the keypress event from a the control that has focus?

If you have a BarKeyboardShortcut, then make sure you set its Enabled property to false for shortcuts like Del, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V, etc. By doing that it will display the shortcut on any links that use it but will not trap the key.
