Outlook intercept CTRL+C in a panel

Hello,

First of all happy new year. I'm using ADX since many years and still happy (except I just read the no-go on .NET 6 ... but that's another subject :)).

I've a right docked panel that show a PDF using DevExpress pdf viewer.
When the user select text and use CTRL+C to copy, nothing happen.
I directly supected Outlook to intercept the key (rule #1: Outlook is always guilty ;)) so I searched and found the "OnKeyDown" event on AddinModule.

I suppose this is the way to go, but then how could I know that the currently selected control is my PDF viewer ? Otherwise I'll intercept all the CTRL+C which is not what I want.

Thank you
Fabrice

PS: I already tried to store a reference to my pdf preview. As I can have several openened preview, it must be dynamic and not static. I tried the standard GotFocus and LostFocus events (both on the control and on the ADXForm) to store this reference, but these events are also not triggered

Hello Fabrice,

Happy New Year!

Use the ADXOlForm.ADXKeyFilter event: check the shortcut pressed and set e.Action to ADXOlKeyFilterAction.SendToForm or ADXOlKeyFilterAction.SendToHostApplication.
