ESC Key on a CFormView

[netx2003]

I have a CFormView and I need to capture the ESC key. The control the has the focus always receive the OnChar but the form never does. I don't want to use an Accelerator nor any code on the controls. Any Ideas?

Just a guess: Override PreTranslateMessage in your CFormView.

PreTranslateMessage is never called on the CFormView

thats how i did it.. here is some code from one of my dialogs that is derived from CFormView.. in my .h

BOOL PreTranslateMessage(MSG\* pMsg);

in my .cpp

BOOL CST3WKSHT::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
CSCTaxApp* pApp = (CSCTaxApp*)AfxGetApp();
if(pMsg->message==WM_KEYDOWN && pApp->m_bEnterAsTab)
{
if(pMsg->wParam==VK_RETURN)
pMsg->wParam=VK_TAB;
}
return CFormView::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

this converts my keypresses from enters to tabs.. and it does work.. hope that helps still a newb.. cut me some slack :P -dz
