Not clear from where u want to trap the keys. if it is from ur app dialog just use ON_WM_KEYDOWN - OnKeyDown msg handler. Otherwise, if u want system wide key trap , see documentaion of the API SetWindowsHookEx. Best wishes..mil10

Like it says in winuser.h /* VK_0 thru VK_9 are the same as ASCII '0' thru '9' (0x30 - 0x39) */ /* VK_A thru VK_Z are the same as ASCII 'A' thru 'Z' (0x41 - 0x5A) */ Example...

void CMyCtrl::OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
if( nChar == 'A' )
{
// Do Stuff
}
}
