Location: San Diego, CA                I have a window with a Listbox and a 
Canvas (actually 3 listboxes)

In the KEYDOWN event for the WINDOW... I am trying to detect arrow keys

Everything works fine for Left/Right arrows, with or without Alt/Cmd/Option etc 
keys

But Up/Down arrows are ALWAYS intercepted by the listbox, regardless of what I 
try and do

Is there an easy way to intercept the keys BEFORE the listbox (which is why I 
put it in the WINDOW keydown)?

Location: San Diego, CA                Not real keen on my solution... but it 
seems to work.

In the Keydown and Cellkeydown events of all the listboxes.... and the Keydown 
Event of the Window itself... I made a call to an external key handler..... 
this way no matter who gets the key event, ONE place handles it
