SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. In a .NET Framework 2.0-based application, you use a System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser control to host Web pages. An ActiveX control is on the Web page. In this scenario, the ActiveX control will not receive keyboard navigation events. For example, if there is a ListBox control on the Web page, you will be unable to switch among the list items by using the UP arrow key and the DOWN arrow key.
