KeyDown event does not fire, KeyPreview is set to true

I am creating a small Forms application, I just started it. But I have this problem: if I put the control on the form, the KeyDown event does not fire. I know about the KeyPreview property and set it to true. But that did not help ... :( I also tried to set the focus on the main form, it will fail.

Any thoughts?

Edit:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(Form1_KeyDown);
        this.KeyPreview = true;
    }

    void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        switch (e.KeyCode)
        {
            case Keys.Left: MessageBox.Show("Left");
                break;
            case Keys.Right: MessageBox.Show("Right");
                break;
        }
    }
}

I already commented on my decision, but I also posted it as an answer, so it can be easily found.

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
{
    switch (keyData)
    {
        case Keys.Left:
            // left arrow key pressed
            return true;
        case Keys.Right:
            // right arrow key pressed
            return true;
        case Keys.Up:
            // up arrow key pressed
            return true;
        case Keys.Down:
            // down arrow key pressed
            return true;
    }

    return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
}
