**Scenario :** I have created a Form(`Mainform`) which is the parent form or host form of the application -like your main screen in Outlook.

I have created a BarItem(`Help` ) under Menu Bar item and assigned a shortcut key `F1` using the Shortcut property.

But if any other form other than `Mainform` gets focus,the shortcut key does not reach the `Mainform`. How do I solve this?

I cant afford to subscribe keypress events for all the forms being launched from my `Mainform`.

**Similar scenario:** For example, when you go to any window in Microsoft Outlook and press `F1` , it will launch a help window irrespective of the form being opened.I want similar behaviour.
