To the dialog box, or a control in the dialog box?

For a control, you can subclass it and use GetDlgCode to return the code to
make all keys
visible.

You should be able to handle WM_KEYDOWN in the dialog class itself.

// Here is the code that I settled on:

BOOL MultiFontDialog::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
  if (pMsg->message != WM_KEYDOWN)
    return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
  if (pMsg->wParam == VK_INSERT) {
    OnInsertListBox();
    return TRUE;
  }
  else if (pMsg->wParam == VK_DELETE) {
    OnDeleteListBox();
    return TRUE;
  }
  return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

take
actions based on the <INS> or <DEL> key. Does anyone know how to do this?
