    Question Overriding webbrowser control's shortcuts

    If I drag a web browser control in a form and then press key combination like Ctrl+O, Ctrl+P, Ctrl+K etc, it performs some predetermined operations.

    How I can override these behavior with my own actions?

    I want to override only few specific keys not everything.

    For example, I still want to keep default Ctrl+B for making text bold but want to do something else when user presses Ctrl+P (rather than showing default behavior of print dialog) or use Ctrl+K for strikethru rather than showing default insert hyperlink option.

    Thanx

    OK, managed to do it in web browser's PreviewKeyDown event. It did not work with Form's keyup/down or keypress events.

    Code:
        Private Sub wb_PreviewKeyDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.PreviewKeyDownEventArgs) Handles wb.PreviewKeyDown
            If e.KeyCode = Keys.P AndAlso e.Modifiers = Keys.Control Then
                MessageBox.Show("captured")
            End If
        End Sub
    But the problem remains, after I captured this event and wrote my code (which works fine) it still pops up Print dialog box! How do I suppress that?
