the webbrowser is a funny beast... you can hook into the page events on any html element in the current webpage with some .net code. There is also a "Navigate" event raised by the MS provided browser control.
i've found this to be a good place for hosting the mshtml control. www.itwriting.com/htmleditor the sample provided there shows how to host mshtml without neededing the COM wrappers and the primary interop assembly. -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics.

So I have to host webbrowser control, and users will need backspace key to erase any mistyped data. The trouble is, webbrowser control interprets backspace key as go back when focus is not in a textbox etc. I've seen a lot of tips, discussions etc, but none of them seems to cover this simple scenario. How do I prevent webbrowser control from going back due to a keypress from backspace key? I do not have control over the displayed pages, so injecting a piece of javascript is not an option. I'd really appreciate your comments, for I have lost a ridiciolus amount of time for such a little annoying problem!
