Capturing KeyDown Event in MDI App

[grip003]

I am trying to capture the CAPS and NUMLOCK keys in an MDI application. I have set the KeyPreview to true and coded the KeyDown event. The problem occurs when a dialog form is being shown. The KeyPreview does not seem to fire when using a dialog form (using ShowDialog()). Is there a way around this without having to add code to every form that is brought up as a dialog form?

Just off the top of my head, and maybe someone has a better idea, I would make a class with a method that holds the code you want in your KeyDown event. Just call that method from the KeyDown handler on each of the dialogs rather than repeating the whole code.
