pressing return in an edit control

[Desmo16]

Hi all, When i run my MFC application, if i click in an edit control an press the "return" button the application exits. Why ? How can i avoid that ? Thanx in advance, Desmo16.

Set edit box style from resource editor as "Want return" or pEdit->ModifyStyle(0,ES_WANTRETURN); SaRath.

set the Want Return style for the edit control. if u dont want to ur application when the enter key is pressed, simply overide the OnOK() funtion in the dialog class. Inside that funtion do not call CDialog::OnOK().. nave

Also make you Edit Control Multiline!

forgot to say set the multiline property(ES_MULTILINE) also to the edit box. nave

[see me]

I think this will not work.. try this.... simply overide the OnOK() and do not call CDialog::OnOK() OnOK(){} Else give Multiline property to edit box Dream bigger... Do bigger...Expect smaller aji -- modified at 7:14 Wednesday 12th July, 2006
