Making CEdit behave properly in a CWnd

[panzerdivisionmarkus]

Hi, The subject may be a little off, but anyways... I wonder how I can make a CEdit behave "properly" in a CWnd. I want it to behave the way it does in a CDialog. When I place a CEdit in my CWnd, I can't use delete on it, I can't use tab to jump between ctrls and I can't select the text in a CEdit(yes, I've tried using setsel(0,-1)). So I wonder if anyone please can help make my CEdits behave like in a CDialog. Regards Markus

You need to implement the IsDialogMessage function in a PreTranslateMessage handler. See IsDialogMessage in the docs for more information.  onwards and upwards...

If I understood you right, I'm supposed to override the PreTranslateMessage handler in my CWnd, and call the IsDialogMessage from there, like this: BOOL CMyWnd::PreTranslateMessage( msg ) { if( IsDialogMessage( msg ) ) return TRUE; else return CWnd::PreTranslateMessage( msg ); } Sadly it didn't work, I still can't use delete or tab in my CEdit. And the messages doesn't come to the function, at least not what I can see. Did I misunderstood you, or have I done something wrong?
