Re: Controls - Not receiving key messages ON_WM_KEYDOWN

Hi Nobody,

If you click on the control (thus causing a WM_KEYDOWN message, the control
should get the focus at that point if it is not disabled.

Almost there.

I think it has something to do with SetFocus(). I guess that reroutes
keyboard messages.

I have an overriden OnSetFocus() in my view, so I added the SetFocus()
there.
void CMyView::OnSetFocus(CWnd* pOldWnd)
{
     CView::OnSetFocus(pOldWnd);

      GetControl()->SetFocus();
}
That works.
But, it is not the kind of functionality that I want.
The user does not have to do that to a Scrollbar or edit control.
The keyboard just automatically works.
That is what I am trying to do.

I don't have a OnInitialize, or OnInitDlg in my Control.
I don't know exactly how that works.
It is called after the parent window is shown, but prior to the child window
being shown.
I tried adding SetFocus to the WM_SHOWWINDOW method, but that fails big
time.

Thanks,
