After being told that it "can't be done", and I literally almost did give up before I found a workaround. Note, you will be using .NET Windows form key events, which works great for my Wizardry style, tile based movement project, but definately will suck performance wise if you are doing an FPS or similar.

It's so simple it's stupid: just give the oDBInput object a bogus control device. In my code, I used:

oDBInput.SetControlDevice("")

And viola! Windows Forms is now hooking keys again!

I posted a video on youtube of the game concept I wipped up in 5 hours with DarkGDK.net:

Hope this helps someone!
