edit control

[kumar_mk]

Hi, this is a low priority bug of my application, i have an Edit control (READ-ONLY property is TRUE, TABSTOP property is FALSE) which is used to display some Message. The problem is that the "Message" of the edit control is getting selected when i am pressing the UP arrow key from the OK and CANCEL buttons of the dialog box, the "Message" should not get selected, how?? one thing i have written this code in OnInitDialog() to show the message in BOLD/BIGGER font CFont myFont; myFont.CreatePointFont(120, _T("Arial"), NULL); CEdit* pBoxOne; pBoxOne = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_STATUS_EDIT); pBoxOne->SetFont(&myFont, TRUE); i have tried checking and unchecking all the styles, extented styles in edit properties, but of no use, may be this problem is arising because of the code i have written for the FONT, do i need to add anything extra in the code?? Pls Help!!!

thanx in advance kumar

Why didn't you try to comment out this code and try? ;) Actually what you got is the basic behaviour. I would like to handle this problem in PreTranslateMessage of the dialog... :)

Pls make the "Disabled" property of Edit control TRUE. Then it will not get selected. Praveen
