Yes, SubClassWindow inside of MyCombo::OnCtlColor is being hit.
Yes, m_xEdit is of type CComboEdit.
No, CComboEdit::PreTranslateMessage is not getting hit.
Also, I have a TRACE in the constructor of CComboEdit which is being
hit.

Here is my complete h and cpp for CComboEdit:
class CComboEdit : public CEdit
{
public:
    CComboEdit();

protected:

// Overrides
    // ClassWizard generated virtual function overrides
    //{{AFX_VIRTUAL(CComboEdit)
    //}}AFX_VIRTUAL

// Implementation
public:
    virtual ~CComboEdit();

    // Generated message map functions
public:
    //{{AFX_MSG(CComboEdit)
    afx_msg void OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags);
    afx_msg void OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags);
    afx_msg BOOL PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) ;

    //}}AFX_MSG

    DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};

CComboEdit::CComboEdit()
{
    TRACE0("CComboEdit created");
}

CComboEdit::~CComboEdit()
{
}

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CComboEdit, CEdit)
    //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CComboEdit)
    ON_WM_CHAR()
    ON_WM_KEYDOWN()
    //}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

BOOL CComboEdit::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
   TRACE0("PRETRANSLATEMESSAGE");
   if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN || pMsg->message == WM_KEYUP)
   {
      if (pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN)
      {
         //the enter key was pressed
      TRACE0("ENTER");
      }
   }

   return CEdit::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);

}

void CComboEdit::OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
    TRACE0("ONKEYDOWN");
    CEdit::OnKeyDown(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}

void CComboEdit::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
    TRACE0("ONCHAR");
    CEdit::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}
