Winforms menu shortcuts not working sometimes? Use ProcessDialogKey()

• Jim. Yes you are using derived forms. In your form, where you try to capture the arrow keys, you are actually deriving form windows.forms.Form. So, the easiest way to get into ProcessDialogKey is this: In the Class tree window find your form. Go to it's base classes node and find "Form". go to that node's base classes node and find "control". You should see the "ProcessDialogKey" method listed there. Right click on it and select "Add override".
  
  
  
  That's the "loooong" GUI way. You can easily just copy paste the code form this post inside your form. It will work just the same. No need to initialize it or anything else.
  
  hope this helps..
  

• How about VB.NET 2005 "looong" Gui Way? Because the short one does not work at all.
