Every KeyDown event receive a KeyEventArgs parameter.
Inside the KeyEventArgs parameter there is a property named SuppressKeyPress.
According to MSDN setting this property to true avoid the KeyPress event
If you set this property to false, the current control with focus will receive the keypress.

private void formMain_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
    // Do your processing
    ....
    e.Handled = true;
    e.SuppressKeyPress = false;
}
