Try using hooks
SetWindowsHookEx with keyboard hook

This is interesting .. I should like to know more about this

This works but the hook function needs to be a global one and there needs to be a exposed method to do the SetWindowsHookEx bit.

I tried this as an ATL simple object but I gusess it should work as an ActiveX

Usually with MFC ActiveX controls you overload PreTranslateMessage and add a switch for handling the keys you want, but I don't know if IE interferes or not.
