Did a little further testing... if I use Firefox when I am debugging I
get 2 KeyBoard events that are captured. The second event has the
correct keyCode that I am looking for (67).
If I debug using IE, only one event ever gets handled, its keyCode is
17. So I guess the question becomes, is Flash Player dropping the
second event, or is IE blocking it?

I am having the same problem. At least from where I am standing
there doesn't appear to be a way to capture the second key. I also get
true for the value of event.ctrlKey and 17 for event.keyCode.
Anyone have any insight?

Hi Adam,
That was a typo. Here's what I have :
public function myKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
}
And I have specified the event listener in the DG as
<mx:DataGrid ... keyDown="myKeyDown(event)">
The problem is not with the Event generation. I have put
trace and it
seems to call the function when the event occurs. The
problem is
detecting the CTRL + <keycombination>.
The keyCode always returns 17 (for CTRL key) and the
ctrlKey is TRUE.
What happens to the keyCode of the other key , for Ex: C
or c which
would be 67 or 99 ???
Is there any other way of detecting it, which I am not
aware or is
this a Flex bug ? It does not work as suggestec in the
Flex help docs.
