This is ridiculous. I have a KeyDown event I am interested in(to get DownArrow Key event) for a WinForm. I added a trackbar, which gets Autofocus(I dont know how). And now, when I press the DOWN arrow key – it automatically changes the value of the Trackbar and my code for the Winform is not working. I tried HIDING the Trackbar with a button but to no avail. I even have
e.SuppressKeyPress = true;
in my Form1_KeyDown() handler.
Help, I am going haywire.
You can override ProcessCmdKey method. check out below links for more information.
Up, Down, Left and Right arrow keys do not trigger KeyDown event
