Description

Returns or sets keys on the keyboard that will be intercepted by the PageLayoutControl, triggering the OnKeyDown and OnKeyUp events when pressed. These keys are often hidden from the PageLayoutControl by the development environment container. By default the KeyIntercept is set to esriKeyInterceptNone .

Many development environment containers use the up, down, left and right arrow keys to change control focus on a form. These keys can also be useful for navigating around the display. To intercept the arrow keys and the Tab key combine the enum values using a logical OR operation (esriKeyInterceptArrowKeys OR esriKeyInterceptTabKey, which is 1 OR 4=5).
