Information not enough for a good answer. 1. Use EnableWindow(hwnd,FALSE) to disable any mouse or kbd input to the window. This is the only suggestion as of now... Bikram Singh

if you want the focus to bet set at the creation of your dialog, call Cwnd::SetFocus() into OnInitDialog() and make this function return **TRUE**. if you just need to set the focus on a control when doing someting into the dialog, just call SetFocus().

I think that you must call SetFocus in WM_SETFOCUS and pass its lparam to SetFocus! Is that right?:confused:

:~ WM_SETFOCUS is a message, not a function. moreover, you can call SetFocus() anywhere (in a handler you created for example)

It is right, WM_SETFOCUS is a message. When a window receive this message, it can reject its focus by calling SetFocus!
