        static Boolean Handler(CtrlTypes CtrlType)
        {
            // A switch to handle the event type.
            switch (CtrlType)
            {
                case CtrlTypes.CTRL_C_EVENT:
                case CtrlTypes.CTRL_BREAK_EVENT:

Do you have problems with showing non English characters in .net controls ? If you have seen non English characters are shown as "?" in .Net controls when you load contents from files.

Recently I experienced with that, some javascripts in ActiveX are blocked in IE8 which were working in IE6 and IE7. Once I added the domain to trusted site in IE8, those scripts are working as earlier. If you have same issue, please go to Tools > Option > Security > trusted sites and add the domain you want. Then refresh the browser. That's it. I think this will help some one having issues with ActiveX in IE8.
