Sorry, It's not clear.

I created a form containing UltraTextEditor controls and I want to catch some key shortcuts for editing and saving (CTRL+E, CTRL+S).  I’m catching keys with the form KeyDown event, using form.KeyPreview = true.

I’ve found that when the UltraTextEditor control is in readonly mode and having focus, the form do not receive some specific key combination, like CTRL+E, CTRL+R or CTRL+J.

There’s a specific sample.

If pressing CTRL+E in both edit and readonly mode, the KeyDown event will be raised in edit mode, but nothing happen in readonly mode.

The sample class :
