Dockable Window using WindowsFormsHost

[annse]

Hi!

I have a Dockable Window containing a WinForms UserControl hosted by a WindowsFormsHost.

I'm having trouble with shortcut keys.

For example:

- Copy/Paste (Ctrl+c/Ctrl+v) in textboxes doesn't work.

- Selecting text in a textbox and hitting the Delete key triggers revit delete command prompting for a selection.

Shortcut keys are supported by WinForms and WPF interop.

With a WPF UserControl in a Dockable Window the shortcut keys work as expected.

Does anyone know of a solution to this other than porting my WinForms UserControls to WPF?

Thanks

Annse

Is the Delete key hiting deletes the textbox then prompts in Revit or it is directly triger in Revit.

WPF is the only option for you. Also its very scalable.

Hi, are there any news on this topic?

@annse For Windows Forms, you can use ComboBox Control, just set DropDownStyle to "Simple" to mimic Textbox.

For Combobox, shortcut keys are working.
