Hi,

I have a Form that contains a number of elements including a dataGrid, several buttons, anda user control. Although, I have defined Key Events Handling in the Main Form, it seems that the Key Events are actually being forwarded to the child control that is focused at the time the key event is executed.

Is there any way to forward events from a childcontrolto a parent?

From the KeyPress event help:

To handle keyboard events only at the form level and not enable other controls to receive keyboard events, set the KeyPressEventArgs.Handled property in your form's KeyPress event-handling method to true.

HTH,
