Click on Edit Control??

[Hachaso]

What event is sent when I click on an Edit Control that is in a Dialog box? I want a messagebox to appear when I click on the edit control. Thanks!

i think this is not the right answer, but you could try with EN_SETFOCUS

You can detect focus change via EN_SET/KILLFOCUS. However, to capture LBUTTONDWN, you will need to subclass the edit box. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Do you mean that I capture EN_SETFOCUS... display the messagebox and then with SendMessage deliver EN_KILLFOCUS. Cause I tryed to capture EN_SETFOCUS and I manage to display the messagebox but it appears 2 times in a row.. strange.

EN_SETFOCUS has the problem that it is also sent when you select the edit box via the tab button! Don't try it, just do it! ;-)

Well I used EN_SETFOCUS but ans I wrote before I get the messagebox 2 times. I only want it to appear when I click on the Edit Control.
