    You can't add another class to your project? :) How did you get the edit control on the toolbar (the code)?

      ??? Shur i can add classes but i'm ....:confused: ! I don't know where i have to implement your code and i don't know how to do it ! I tried it too long i think ! :( This is the declaration of the membervariable of my edit in NewToolBar.h : public: //************************************************************************************************************ CEdit m_Ctrl_EDIT; //************************************************************************************************************ In NewToolBar.cpp: BOOL NewToolBar::LoadToolBarEx(UINT id) { BOOL bReturn; bReturn = CToolBar::LoadToolBar(id); // Zugriff auf Elemente der Funktion LoadToolbar() int iPosition = CommandToIndex(ID_nEDIT); SetButtonInfo(iPosition,ID_nEDIT,TBBS_SEPARATOR,EDITLEN); CRect rect; GetItemRect(iPosition, rect); rect.bottom = 20; DWORD dwStyle = WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_TABSTOP|ES_AUTOHSCROLL;/*ES_NUMBER|*/ m_Ctrl_EDIT.CreateEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,_T("EDIT"),NULL, dwStyle, rect, this, ID_nEDIT); return bReturn; } i use the menber !!! i don't know how to implement code into mine, this is the prob ! Could you perhaps show it on my sample i posted, i know it's not the general way, im not to lazy, it simply won'work :( :( :( :sigh: :sigh: :sigh: :(( :(( :(( Thanx a lot Best regards Croc(master of desaster)

        Change that line to CMyEdit m_Ctrl_EDIT; I gave you code that can be separated into a .h and a .cpp file. Do that, and add the files to your project.  :) Add the following line above the NewToolBar class decalration: #include "MyEdit.h" That's it!

        I could, but you wouldn't learn anything.  You should (IMO) be able to easily add classes to your projects. You'll be happier in the long run I bet :) Mark

              If you put a breakpoint in OnChar() and run it in the debugger, is it ever hit when you type in the control? If not, put a breakpoint in the CMyEdit constructor.  Is that ever hit?  If not then you didn't use a CMyEdit instead of a CEdit. I'd look at your code if it was in a ZIP - I have no unrar utility.

                  I'll take a look.... In the meantime, see if adding this to the CMyEdit class works: Add to CMyEdit.h, in the CMyEdit class declaration:

                  public:
                      virtual BOOL PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg);

                  Add to CMyEdit.cpp

                  BOOL CTestEdit::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
                  {
                      if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && VK_RETURN == pMsg->wParam)
                      {
                          return TRUE;
                      }
                      else if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYUP && VK_RETURN == pMsg->wParam)
                      {
                          // Do stuff!

                  return TRUE;
                      }

                  return CEdit::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
                  }

                  Maybe that will work better! :) Mark
