Bug with KeyDown event.

Hi,

I'm using the control to monitor and control keyboard events and have noticed some undesirable issues with the KeyDown event.

The following code snipits assume a form with a TextDynamic control named "TD"

1. Take the following code as an example:

Private Sub TD_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TD.KeyDown        Debug.Write("KD: ")        Debug.WriteLine(e.Shift.ToString)    End Sub

When trapping the key down event I have noticed that typing the keys slowly with the above code will produce one event for each key. i.e. typing "123" slowly will result in 3 KeyDown events being raised. This is of course correct.

However, when the same keys ("123") are pressed very quickly in succession more than the 3 events are raised. This is not correct.

* Also the Shift key being held down is not recognised. It always come through as false. *

2. Take as example the following code:

Private Sub TD_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TD.KeyDown        Debug.WriteLine("KD: ")        e.Handled = True        e.SuppressKeyPress = True    End Sub

Now we are handling and suppressing the KeyDown events. But for each key being pressed (it doesn't matter the speed the keys are pressed) there are 2 KeyDown events being raised. This is not correct.

However if we now insert the KeyUp event and handle it as below;

Private Sub TD_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TD.KeyUp
        e.Handled = True
        e.SuppressKeyPress = True
    End Sub

only one KeyDown event will be fired; this is what is expected from the KeyDown event without having to provide the KeyUp event and suppress that event.

Can you please let me know if this is a known issue and/or if a fix is also available for these issues (especially the Shift key problem as this is really needed for my application).

Thanks,

Kurt
