Webbrowser Control - Preventing use of Alt-Left Arrow Key or Right mouse click

[Bishop]

How would one use the webbrowser Control but capture the user right mouse click or alt-left arrow (hot key to go back to previous webpage) before the Control recieves it?

I've tried capturing the keystrokes at Form level:

Private Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
    If (KeyCode = 37) And (Shift = 4) Then
        Label1.Caption = "message caught"
    End If
End Sub

... but that doesn't work.

I've tried making a new usercontrol with the webbrowser embedded into it with the code above implemented at UserControl level.. no luck again...

Any suggestions/solutions?

For ALt+Left, try Before_Navigate2 event which has a Cancel capability. I have not tried it. I'm tired. If your users do not need to be able to highlight and copy then you might try setting .Visible = false in GotFocus and .Vsible = true in LostFocus. Dumb, but still food for thought.

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I think the problem maybe even more general than what I specified...

I now need to prevent certain keystrokes all together from reaching the webbrowser control... (ALT-Left, Ctrl-N (new window), CTRL+A (select All), F5 (refresh)).

Is there a way to trap the keystrokes instead?
