Title Body

I have a Winforms dialog that contains among other controls a TextBox that allows a single line of input. I would like to allow the user to be able to press Ctrl-Backspace to delete an entire word. This is not the default behaviour with the out-of-the-box TextBox; I get a rectangle character, rather than having the word deleted. I have confirmed the ShortcutsEnabled property is set to True . I did find that I can use a RichTextBox rather than a TextBox to get the behaviour I want. The problem with this is that the apperance of the RichTextBox (border in particular) is different from that of the TextBox, and I don't need or want the ability to mark up text. So my question is how to best handle this situation? Is there some property on the TextBox that I am missing? Or is it best to use the RichTextBox, update the appearance so it is consistent, and disable markup of the text? I am relatively happy to write the code to handle the KeyDown and KeyPress events explicity if there is no better way, but thought it was worth checking first.
