Any way to stop menu strip from 'trapping' alt-key?

Hi All,

I have a Win Form on which I use the KeyDown event to perform certain activities using Alt-Key combinations.

Unfortunately, this also triggers the menustrip capturing the Alt key and highlighting the default menu item (File) and essentially disabling any further typing until the Alt key is pressed again.

Is there any way to stop the file menu from capturing the Alt when this is used to trigger operations in the KeyDown event?

Many thanks,
