Disabling the OnOK in CDialog

pie

Hello. Is it somehow possible to disable the linking between VK_RETURN and CDialog::OnOK? Whenever I press ENTER in my dialog, it calls the OnOK, and I would like to avoid this.. Is it possible?

Give the OK button another ID besides IDOK. 2) In the OnOK() handler, don't call the base class CDialog::OnOK(). http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/cppforumfaq.asp#mfc\_dlgclosekeys

VK_RETURN actually invokes a default button in your dialog, which happens to be your OK button. You could unchek "default button" property for it in the resource editor, or at a run time.

I tried to override OnOK, and yes, the dialog doesn't close, but if I then add an OnKeyDown-handler to my dialog, it never receives any VK_RETURN-notifications.. Is this beacuse MFC "grabs" the VK_RETURN, and sends it to OnOK, or just beacuse I'm doing something wrong?

Depending on which control has focus, the dialog may not even "see" the key presses. Tell us more of what you are trying to do.
