What UI framework?
Oops, sorry.
So WinForms doesn't really have event bubbling.
The approaches I can think of: 1. subscribe all controls to your keyboard event or 2. reset the focus to some main control instead of letting (ie. your
Button) maintain focus after being clicked.
There are global hotkeys that work for out-of-app, keyboard accelerators, etc that might play more nicely depending on what you're doing.I was able to achieve what I wanted using this:
Yeah, that's dipping into win32api.
But it is a relatively simple solution otherwise.
yep
alright i'll close the post now, thanks for the help
