Multiple Form Objects auto-inheriting the same event handler?

Question

Is there a way for me to make it so that all objects on my form (no matter how many) will have a link to an even handler?

For example, if I have a function that I want to call everything the user pushes a key within any object on the form... is there a way I can do that w/o manually setting the KeyDown event on each object individually? Thank you!

Another way to approach this is to set the Form's KeyPreview property to true and then handle all key presses within the Form's KeyDown eventhandler. Please see this link: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.form.keypreview.aspx

public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); foreach ( Control c in this .Controls) { c.Click += c_Click; } } void c_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { MessageBox .Show( Click ); } }
