Enter

[Johnny Peszek]

Hi! In a dialog based application with a multiline edit box I’m trying to count the number of enter hits. I tried to use code like this: void CNanoDlg::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags) { if(nChar==VK_RETURN) { counter++; } CDialog::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags); } The code doesn’t work. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

Do this: message map: ON_WM_GETDLGCODE() header file: afx_msg UINT OnGetDlgCode( ); in code: UINT CtrlFlexArray::OnGetDlgCode(){ return DLGC_WANTALLKEYS; } //end function OnGetDlgCode good luck. "If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next one... and don't be late." ~ Jimi Hendrix

I almost got it. But when I press enter or any different key in the edit box the function OnGetDlgCode() returns always the same result so I’m not able to count enter hits. Am I missing something? Regards.

I dunno, Do you handle your keystrokes in OnKeyDown (or Up) messagehandler? in message map: ON_WM_KEYDOWN() in header: afx_msg void OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags); in code: void yourclas::OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags){ //your code here } if you do have this I wouldn't know, what you could have forgotten. Hope this helps. "If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next one... and don't be late." ~ Jimi Hendrix

The code that you wrote works fine in SDI or MDI application. But I have dialog based application with edit box in which I want to count enter hits.

Try adding a button to your dialog, set it as default button and make it invisible. (note: it could take the ESC button too) (note: if it doesn't work, set it's focus explicitly) just an idea, hope it works.
