Handling of ESCAPE and RETURN

[Vancouver]

I want to handle the ESCAPE key in certain situation; I try to catch it in PreTranslateMessage with WM_KEYUP. Pressing ESCAPE leads always to the "cancel" result. If I have a control named IDCANCEL, the OnClicked handler receives the control, whenever ESACPE has been pressed, but I can not differentiate between clicking on that control and the "true ESCAPE". Is there a way I can separate the "escape" key from the CANCEL button and from "exit" ("X" in the system menu)? Actually, I need it in a CEdit control.

Refer this[^]. Similarly, use VK_RETURN for enter key.

Give the button a different ID and a new handler for this ID, than it should work. To catch up ESCAPE you need to catch the WM_KEYDOWN Event. But it is important where the PreTranslateMessage. Try to catch the WM_KEYDOWN event in your Dialog class.

Thanks, it works with KEYDOWN
