In my app when the user presses the alt key then releases it my custom cursor changes to an arrow and the file pull down menu is waiting for input. If the user again presses the alt key then my apps custom cursor is restored. Other apps (like Photoshop) behave differently. The alt key can be pressed repeatedly with nothing happening. If alt "F" are pressed then you get the file menu. How can I do this?? I have an OnKeyDown handler in my view class but alt key presses neve go there.
