I have a main window which produces a number of child windows when I press a button.

Users need to be able to switch between windows using Ctrl+Tab hot key.

I was trying to implement this by intercepting keyup/keydown events in one of the frames.

But the problem is that main window has several frames and I don't have access to all of them.

As soon as a user clicks on a frame without my handler the hot key is not working anymore.

Any ideas how to implement it?

Maybe an ActiveX component? If ActiveX could help me - how does it work?

Thank you.

You would have to put the event handler/listener in each frame. If the frame is in another domain, than there is nothing you can do about it.

Yes. The problem is that the frames are in different domains..

that’s why I was thinking of ActiveX..
