I have a problem.
I have a main application that opens another CFrameWnd with an edit.
When I minimize the main application the FrameWnd is still up (as I
want) but it does not receive the WM_CHAR anymore. Thus the user
cannot type in the edit.
Any idea ?

It's hard to imagine what's gone wrong as it's not clear to me what
you have done.

Presumably the edit window is a child window of the frame window?

If so, how could you catch the WM_CHAR message in the frame window in
the first place?

Thanks Dave,
The CEdit is a child of the FrameWnd that is opened from the Main
application.
I the CFrameWnd is opened as following:
    if (m_pSessionFrame2)
    {
        m_pFrame->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL);
    }
    else
    {
        m_m_pFrame= new SessionFrame2;
        m_m_pFrame->Create(NULL, _T("Session Frame"), WS_OVERLAPPED,
CRect(20, 20, 1400, 400), NULL, NULL, WS_EX_TOPMOST);
        m_m_pFrame->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL);
               }
where m_pFrame is a CFrameWnd*
