Disable keyboard-shortcuts in Internet Explorer

Question

Does anybody know how can I programmatically disable the keyboard-shortcuts in IE?

For example, i have a textbox in my web page, with its value taken from a barcode reader. But the barcode contains the sequence Shift-Ctrl-J + Enter. Shift+Ctrl+J opens the IE feeds and Enter opens the selected feed in the browser, so this is a serious problem for me.

And if it's impossible to do this programmatically, is there a way that the client could resolve this from the browser's options, win registries, anything?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Can you accept the data in a pop up window? I'm thinking that if you open a popup window without all the chrome around it, the shortcut keys won't work.

Answer 2

Looks like this issue can be worked around in Firefox, is firefox a possibility for you?

Answer 3

You could implement an ActiveX Control that contains the text box and talks to the scanner. Implement IInputObject::TranslateAcceleratorIO() and say no.

My question is why does your barcode contain CTRL+SHIFT+J?! :)
