[Solved] - How to alway set focus SfForm to using keydown on Datagrid?

[The GridLock]

For some reason I want the Form.show (modeless) instead of showdialog(modal), combined with the keydown override, I want when pressing ctrl + A all the datagrid rows will be selected, however in some cases (because the form shows modeless so the command is executed on the main form), what should I do to make the command always execute if the form is showing?

Here is the code I am using:

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
{
    if (SFForm.Visible == true)
        SFForm.Activate(); //Focus SFForm
    if ((keyData.HasFlag(Keys.A) && keyData.HasFlag(Keys.Control)))
    {
        this.f_DataGrid1.SelectionMode = GridSelectionMode.Extended;
        f_DataGrid1.SelectAll();
        return true;
    }
    else if ()
    {
    }

    return base.ProcessCmdKey(msg, keyData);
}

Hi Susmitha,

After reviewing it, I realized that I was mistaken to say that it was the main form, it was another frame not a winform (such as a ribbon).

I searched and tried hook. It is working for me now.

Problem solved!
