To handle key pressings in dialogs, one should override PreTranslateMessage. It's MSG argument has the necessary information about pressed keys.

Add the ampersand [&] symbol before the desired letter in the button caption. For e.g for &Click, if you press Alt + C will run the code for Click button.
