Panel not getting focus

Question

I am continuing to program some kind of keyboard navigation in my simple graphic program (using C#). And I ran into trouble once again.

Answer 1

The simplest trick I use when for any reason I can’t use the parent Form KeyPreview property to make the Form handle key events, is to put a Textbox on

The panel:

Panel.Controls.Add(_focusTextBox = new TextBox() { Visible = true , Left = -300, TabIndex = 0});   

And use it to capture KeyDown event:

_focusTextBox.KeyDown += panel_KeyDown;

The last step is to set focus to this TextBox when other controls on the panel clicked:

_focusTextBox.Focus();
