    You don't need to replace the Button, you can attach a handler to the existing Button, e.g., `var printButton = (ToolStrip)printPrvDlg.Controls[1]; printButton.Click += printPreview_PrintClick` -- The PrintDialog is a Form, so you can activate its KeyPreview: `(printPrvDlg as Form).KeyPreview = true;`, then subscribe to the `printPrvDlg.KeyPress` event and filter the combination of keys you want to handle. Call `printPreview_PrintClick(null, null)` when the combination is `CTRL + P` (= 16) – Jimi Jul 28 '22 at 11:49

    It's probably simpler if you handle the PrintPreviewControl's `PreviewKeyDown` event: e.g., `var preview = (PrintPreviewControl)printPrvDlg.Controls[0]; preview.PreviewKeyDown += [the Event handler];`. Simpler because it's easier to determine the combination of Key presses. – Jimi Jul 28 '22 at 12:33
