I have an application, where I am providing access key(ALT + A) as a shortcut. It is working fine.

The problem is: Consider I have one combo box and button. I have set one access key to button, say ALT + B and for combo box ALT + C, while pressing ALT + B combination I am showing dialog box with close button.

Even after I click the close button of the dialog box and if I press C key it is selecting the combo box.

My requirement is after showing the dialog box it should not select the combo box if I press C, how to achieve this?

Is this for Winforms, WPF, or Html? – Erik Philips Oct 06 '11 at 17:11

Check to see if dialog box is visble. – Security Hound Oct 06 '11 at 17:29

My guess is the alt key "event" is still active. Does it still show the Access key? I would try something like e.hangled = true to clear the alt key. This is by design. The idea is the Access keys are hot until the user cancels them. – paparazzo Oct 06 '11 at 18:01
