Trapping keystrokes in dialog

[dart13]

Can somebody please explain what I have to do in order to have CButton controls on dialog respond to WM_CHAR messages (and not to use PreTranslateMessage() ). I tried to put OnChar() in my instance of CDialog with classWizard but the dialog just beeps when I press keys.

Are you talking about shortcut keys ? did ya try putting '&' before one of the char in the dialog button text ?

Did you try it by subclassing cbutton.....you should derive your own class(CMyButton) from CButton and use CMyButton on your dialog box instead of CButton and then add the messagemap for WM_CHAR ...it will work... cheers
