KeyPress event not responding to some keys (up, down, left, right, home...)

I have a windows form and an OnKeyPress function. I also have KeyPreview turned on.

The function responds to most keys except up, down, left, right, home, pgdown, end and so on...

It's like whenever I press those keys, it doesn't send them to the form, it just toggles between the buttons and the other controls.

Anyone experienced that and can help out?

From MSDN

The KeyPress event is not raised by noncharacter keys; however, the noncharacter keys do raise the KeyDown and KeyUp events.
