Re: Using a web browser control to display somewhat dynamic content to sighted users, but without it taking control of KeyDown event handler for windows form

I could set focus to another control, but, idea is to somehow stop user from choosing to actually focus on this web browser control that's within the form.


Will look into trying to bind a generic OnFocus control event to it or something, and see if that works.

Stay well

If processing continues in your sub or function that shows the browser You might be able to use the focus command to set focus on the desired form. I forget if that statement is synch or not but in vb you could do something like:
[code to load and show the browser]
MyMyControl.Focus()
Look up the correct syntax for the focus Method in C# and simply give it a try, it can't hurt.

Like subject line says, am busy with something where it will be easiest for me to make use of a WebBrowser control to display dynamically changing content to sighted users, while using SayTools to render content changes to VI users, but I am making use of the forms KeyDown event handler to capture keystrokes, so it doesn't really help too much if the focus switches over to the WebBrowser control, so just wondering off hand if anyone can think of an easy way to stop it from taking focus?

FWIW, this application is a version of talking scrabble, and currently busy with a form of artificial intelligence development to allow computer 'player' to choose which words to make use of on board, but anyway, and busy with all of this in C#, using VS.Net 2008.

Stay well
