hiiiiiiiiiii, this is the solution... u have to do is: 1) u need to Dervie a class from CListBox 2) map the listbox in ur application to Derived listbox class. 3)Override the virtual function OnChar in ur Derived class. void CMyListBox::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags) { // TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default //CListBox::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags); important } comment this code CListBox::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags); Regards Prashanth.v

Try this way. Using Add Class command, add a new MFC class derived from CListBox. Then add to this class a handler for WM_CHAR notifications. In this handler, return without calling anything. In the dialog box where list box is used, select the list-box and then use Add Variable in order to add a control variable. In the Variable Type field, specify the name of your list-box class. If you already have a variable for your list, then open the header file of your dialog and replace CListBox type with the name of your list-box class. Hope it helps.
