Is it possible to add virtual method similar to ChildMouseEvent but for a keyboard?
I need it for GridCtrl to make possible to change cell using keyboard even if child control has focus. For example devexpress xgrid works like this (I want to achieve the same effect):
you can change cursor position using keyboard arrows. Now - if cursor is moved to the cell with edit the full selection of text in this edit is made (gridctrl works in the same way here). If text is selected arrows keys can still change grid's cursor position. If any other key is pressed cell's edit take control of arrow keys.

It can be useful for other thing too and it would be a great completion for controling child mouse events.
