Hi There

I am attempting to use the control as part of an email form in a Windows appplication. What I would like to be able to do is to cpature whenedver the cursor moves within the control whilst in design and to use update a font list and font size list when a change occurs. I have been uable to capture the arrow keys at the control or form level. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I night achieve a result.

Regards

Simon

You can get it in the PreProcessMessage for the control. Eg:

if (k== Keys.Right)
{
Debug.WriteLine("Right arrow");
}

Thanks for your help. I couldn't get it to do what I wanted as I needed the method to run after the cursor had been moved by the arrow keys. I ended up using a timer control as a work around that upadtes my tool bar values to match the seelected font at regualr time intervals. Not ideal but it works.

Cheers

Use the control's UpdateUI event to update your toolbar. It catches both mouse and arrow key movements.
