KeyPress

[Rusty]

I would like to be able to grab keypress information for controls placed within my Activity. In order to do this, I've had to change enabled = false on all controls so that the Activity_Keypress receives the keystrokes. However, I'd like to be able to have enabled controls displayed and still be able to view the keypress before the control(s) receive it. Is there a way to get keypress information for a control (such as EditText) before the key "arrives" within the control?

This is not possible. EditText handles the keypress before the activity.

Thanks, Erel.
I "simulated" it by creating EditText controls with Enabled=False and using the Activity_Keypress event to capture keystrokes. Is there a way to change the background color of a control that is enabled= false to another color while disabled?

You can set a different drawable to it, however it will change its appearance not just the color.
