Printable View
Hi,
I'm playing with a Form view document and need to handle the Esc & Enter
keys, but how? I tried OnKeyDown in the view but it never gets called.
Basically, I would like the Esc key to clear the edit field and the Enter
key to 'accept' the data typed then clear the edit field so I can enter more
in that field.
Thanks,
Paul

The problem is that <ESC> and <ENTER> will activate the Cancel and
Default buttons on your form. The edit control won't get any
notification. Try subclassing the edit control and handling the
WM_KEYDOWN message.
If you are inside a dialog box, then IsDialogMessage will pick
off the keys before they reach the edit control. You need to
subclass and return DLGC_WANTMESSAGE if the message is WM_KEYDOWN
and the wParam is VK_ESC or VK_RETURN.
