Keydown event on the RadribbonForm

[JANG KYUNG SEOC]

Hi,

I use a RadribbonForm as a mybase.
When I push one button Radribbonform changed to maximize dialog, and it will be topmost and have no button.

For returning normal dialog, I want to use keydown event(Escape key). However it dosen't work.

Can I get any sample source or example key event on the radribbonform?

Thanks,

I use below code for testing keydown event on the RadRibbonform

Private Sub RadRibbonForm1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.Escape Then
            Me.Close()
        End If
End Sub

However it dose not work.
Please let me know, how to use keydown event on the radribbonform.

Hello JANG KYUNG SEOC,

Thank you for writing.

Actually if the form is not the control that has focus, then KeyPress isn't processed, so its not responding as in your case. I suggest you override and use ProcessCmdKey instead KeyDown event:

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref System.Windows.Forms.Message msg, System.Windows.Forms.Keys keyData)
{
 try
 {
     if (msg.WParam.ToInt32() == (int)Keys.Escape)
     {
         this.Close();
     }
     else
     {
         return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
     }
 }
 catch (Exception Ex )
 {
     MessageBox.Show("Key Overrided Events Error:"+ Ex.Message);
 }

 return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg,keyData);
}

Write me back if you have other questions.
