Accelerators in a Dialog application

[__Cerb]

I've added an accelerator, then Ctrl+W then selected my main Dlg class. However, when I run my program and press the keys, the accelerator doesn't work... thanks for help -Mike

Have you called LoadAccelerators() in the dialog's constructor? You'll also need to override the PreTranslateMessage() method and call TranslateAccelerator() accordingly.

Hmm, can you give me an example please? I'm kinda new... CTestDlg::CTestDlg(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/) : CDialog(CTestDlg::IDD, pParent) { //{{AFX_DATA_INIT(CD2HackKitDlg) // NOTE: the ClassWizard will add member initialization here //}}AFX_DATA_INIT // Note that LoadIcon does not require a subsequent DestroyIcon in Win32 m_hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME); } thanks

CTestDlg::CTestDlg(CWnd* pParent) : CDialog(CTestDlg::IDD, pParent)
{
m_hAccelTable = LoadAccelerators(AfxGetResourceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_ACCELERATOR1));
}

BOOL CTestDlg::PreTranslateMessage( LPMSG pMsg )
{
if (NULL != m_hAccelTable)
{
if (::TranslateAccelerator(m_hWnd, m_hAccelTable, pMsg))
return (TRUE);
}

return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);

}
