You can derive a class from CEdit and use an object of that class instead of
a CEdit object.

In the derived class, you can catch the enter key press something like this:

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 something!

        return TRUE;
    }

    return CEdit::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

Hey guys,

I am using an EditControl box. It is only a single line text box and
I was wondering how I could go about performing some action when the
user hits the Enter key?

I tried playing around with the various possible events, but it seems
that none of the events actually do what I would like them to do :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks
