P.S. How come you are not using CRichEditView?
The correct approach to doing something custom with Ctrl+Z is to use a
Accelerator table.
Then you define a handler function for the accelerator that gets called
with Ctrl+Z and do your functionality there.
For example in example of CRichEditCtrl in a CView. Instead of removing
the Ctrl+Z accelerator from the table, you could have left it there, setup
a handler for that accelerator in your CView dervied class, and in the
message handler method called the edit controls Undo method.
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(...)
ON_COMMAND(ID_CTRLZ,OnCtrlZ)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
void CMyView::OnCtrlZ()
{
m_Edit.Undo();
}

Thank you! Removing ACCELERATOR key map in resource file fixed the
behavior.
Does it mean that to undo at CView (parent of CRichEditCtrl) level I
need to handle WM_CHAR message and switch on nChar to find key
combination? I could not think of any other approach, are there any
other approaches to handle CTRL + Z command?
Thank you again.

First, make sure you don't have a Ctrl-Z shortcut in your ACCELERATOR
resource. If you
have it, remove it.
Normally, rich edit already has undo support, so once the Ctrl+Z can get
to it, the undo
should work.

Hi, I have a CRichEditCtrl window as a child window of CView class in
an MDI type application. I am trying to put undo support for text
editing but the CTRL + Z event is getting caught by the CView class
only. In CView class CTRL + Z event is handled by handling
ID_EDIT_UNDO command.
Can someone point out what I need to do to get the CTRL + Z event in
CRichEditCtrl? I tried to use message reflection but I am not sure if
I used it correctly.
Any help is appreicated.
Thanks.
