In my experience, KeyPressedEvent has no bearing on what is and is not
passed to the active application.
A quick and dirty test case can be fabricated using notepad and trying
to return from KeyPressedEvent when an inherent keystroke (i.e.
left/rightControl+S) is detected. The code in your control structure
will execute and the key will still be passed to Notepad.
