If setting the
KeyPressEventArgs.Handledfield doesn’t do the trick, you may need to catch thePreviewKeyDownevent and change the event to not be an input key (PreviewKeyDownEventArgs.IsInputKey = false) to prevent it from ever getting treated as a regular KeyDown/KeyUp/KeyPress.See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/system.windows.forms.control.previewkeydown(v=vs.110).aspx for further details.
Note: you’ll also have to move all your KeyPress-handling code into PreviewKeyDown, because you’ll stop getting the KeyPress event when you set IsInputKey to false.
