PreTranslateMessage return assertion

[ArielR]

this code: #include "myDlg.h" .... BOOL CSistemaPOSDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) { if(pMsg->message==WM_KEYDOWN { switch ( pMsg->wParam ) { case 106: // '*' was pressed - Asterisc numeric keyboard CallMyDlg(); break; case VK_RETURN: ......... break; default: break; } } return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg); } BOOL CSistemaPOSDlg::CallMyDlg() { CmyDlg pDlg; pDlg.DoModal() } Pretranslate return me an Assertion failed when return from myDlg!! Way??

What is the reason for the assertion?  Where does it occur? Is there a reason you need to handle messages in PreTranslateMessage() instead of handling them the usual MFC way? Mark

Just try to call the CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg) before the CallMyDlg(). I think the problem is because the DoModal will initiate a different message loop, thus the current message may be handled by this second message loop. So when the CDialog::PreTranslateMessage is called, the current message will be different or none. (Only a guess :)) )

Does Exist a way to release, or kill the loop from myDlg before return to the parent?

[Nishad S]

You mean exit from the application? Or simply skip the current loop of PreTranslateMsg?

the current loop, may be only with return;

I think you need to skip the * key hit, right? If so you can just assign pMsg->message = WM_NULL. Then the allowing the current loop to continue.
