Well, you may not be able to use the code, but you can still use the concept. You can subclass (in the Windows sense, not the C++ sense) the ListView control and handle the WM_GETDLGCODE message. There may be more (seemingly) expedient ways to work around your problem, such as peeking the message loop or playing games with the default button, but I don't know of any ways more correct than handling WM_GETDLGCODE as I suggested. -------- There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who know binary and those who don't.

WS_TABSTOP! I didn't even know that style existed. Thank you Michael and Neville, with your two suggestions together, it is now working like a charm :-D
