I wanna determine which key was pressed when im viewing a certain form. The problem is that if i want to check which key was pressed when im binding the "keypressed" event to the form, it won't show me which one was pressed if my focus is currently set to lets say, a textbox, or a label, or a panel and so on.

Any way to do that even if the focus is currently set to a Panel, i can still determine which key was pressed? thanks!
