How do I capture the enter key in a windows forms combobox

Question

How do I capture the enter key in a windows forms combo box when the combobox is active?

I've tried to listen to KeyDown and KeyPress and I've created a subclass and overridden ProcessDialogKey, but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas?

Hook up the KeyPress event to a method like this:

protected void myCombo_OnKeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyChar == 13)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Enter pressed", "Attention");                
    }
}

I've tested this in a WinForms application with VS2008 and it works.

If it isn't working for you, please post your code.
