How to get datas from an edit control (in the toolbar) by pressing return (enter) ?

[Mark Salsbery]

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

Ok, I steered you wrong with the enter key, sorry.  Change your CMyEdit class like this and it works fine in your code:

// MyEdit.h

#pragma once

class CMyEdit : public CEdit
{
    DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CMyEdit)
       
public:
    CMyEdit();
    virtual ~CMyEdit();

virtual BOOL PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg);
   
protected:
    DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// MyEdit.cpp

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "MyEdit.h"

IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CMyEdit, CEdit)

CMyEdit::CMyEdit() : CEdit()
{
}

CMyEdit::~CMyEdit()
{
}

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyEdit, CEdit)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

BOOL CMyEdit::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!

MessageBox("Works","Works" ,MB_OK);

return TRUE;
    }

return CEdit::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
