Outlook does not pass keyboard event to an OCX ronnie[ at ]implicitweb.com 6/12/2006 7:52:37 PM Hi, I am developing an OCX that is to be embedded on an Outlook custom form. I am running into an issue of not being able to receive keyboard shortcuts events from Outlook such as: Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C Ctrl-V (cut/paste) etc... When I run the OCX (VB) outside Outlook, then everything is fine. But once its embedded into Outlook we don't get these events. Apparently Outlook does not pass those to the OCX control therefore we're unable to process them. I get the same behavior even when I use standard Microsoft OCX controls. Does anybody have any idea how to force outlook to pass these shortcuts to the OCX? Thanks, Ronnie
