Page.keyDown not fired

Question

I have a page within a navigation window. I need to fire KeyDown events and they won't fire. I have this:

 private void gamePlayerPage_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Key == Key.Right)
            {
                Animate newAnimate = new Animate(this.myMapController, this);
                newAnimate.animation("right", this.myMinotaur);
            }
        }

And it is hooked up correctly. Any ideas how to make it fire? Thanks

Maybe adding this to your page load event solve the problem

Application.Current.MainWindow.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(MainWindow_KeyDown);

Remove the handler if you are going to another page.
