Alt key

Whenever I press the alt key in my game it loses focus because it activates the menu strip at the top (of course it doesn't show it). So is there any way to disable the game from losing focus after pressing the alt key?

Yeah, except I don't want it to pause, I just don't want the game to lose focus.

Then you have to modify CIrrDeviceWin32.cpp to process the keyboard event and to not pass it on to the default handler. I posted some sample code a while back that shows what you'd need to do. If you use the code as shown, the ALT+F4 key combination will no longer work to close your program. If you want that to work again, you could handle it in an event receiver, or you could make additional changes to allow that specific combination to work.
