How can I get WM_KEYDOWN message in the CWnd-derived class?
-
I have a CWnd-derived class. In the demo dialog I'm put the object from this class. I'm need to handle an arrow button push in the object of the CWnd-derived class, but I can't retrive a WM_KEYDOWN message. Can somebody help me? Best regards, Eugene Pustovoyt

You're not getting WM_KEYDOWN at all, or just for the arrow ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

I'm not getting WM_KEYDOWN at all, but I need a arrow button only. I'm try to handle a message in the OnKeyDown() handler and in the PreTranslateMessage() method. Best regards, Eugene Pustovoyt

Then something else is swallowing the message - what on the dialog has the focus ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Now what - dialog of CWnd?? With dialogs you'll never get this msg since always a child wnd has the focus. Dig into PreTranslateMessage() instead. ---------------------- ~hamster1
I'm understand, but how can I set a focus, if SetFocus() method has not effect. In the PreTranslateMessage() method I don't retrive a WM_KEYDOWN message too. Best regards, Eugene Pustovoyt

Yes, dialog has the focus. By press arrow button has effect in the last focused window (for example - CListBox). If I press TAB then after some steps I jump to the my CWnd::OnFocus() method. Best regards, Eugene Pustovoyt

No, it's modal dialog Best regards, Eugene Pustovoyt

Then how can you be pressing tab to move the focus into the dialog ? Or did I misunderstand you ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

You're misunderstand me. When I press TAB then focus jump by all controls of the MODAL dialog and to my control (OnSetFocus method) too. Therefore I think a dialog do process WM_KEYDOWN message, but this message isn't arrive at my CWnd-derived class. Best regards, Eugene Pustovoyt

Oh - is your CWnd derived class a control on the dialog ? If that's the case, then the fact you need to press tab proves that your control does not have focus, and therefore does not get any keyboard messages. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Yes, my CWnd-derived class is a control on the dialog. And how can set focus if SetFocus() method has not effect or how can I get WM_KEYDOWN message?? Best regards, Eugene Pustovoyt

To get the message, you need the focus. Can't you set your control to be the one that recieves initial focus in the dialog editor ? Perhaps making it top of the tab order will do this ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

In my OnSetFocus() handler I call CWnd::OnSetFocus(pOldWnd) and just SetFocus(), but it has not effect to getting WM_KEYDOWN message. How another I can set a focus? Best regards, Eugene Pustovoyt

Which OnSetFocus handler ? YOu're saying you call OnSetFocus in the dialog, and the handler in your control calls it as well, as it's a composite control ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Probably it because my bad English. Start from begin step by step: 1. I wrote a Cwnd-derived control which must to get a WM_KEYDOWN 2. I'm put his to MODAL DEMO DIALOG 3. If I press TAB in my demo then I see as a focus jump from the control to the control. Focus also jump into WM_SETFOCUS handler of the my control CMyControl::OnSetFocus() 4. In the WM_SETFOCUS handler of the my control I call CWnd::OnSetFocus() or SetFocus() but it has not effect to getting a WM_KEYDOWN message. I can't get this message neither in the WM_KEYDOWN handler of the CMyControl nor in the CMyControl::PreTranslateMessage. Best regards, Eugene Pustovoyt
