The application's accelerator table is definitely overriding the
delete and backspace keys so that when the child window containing the
chtmlview is up and the user mistypes a username ina textbox on the
web page, they cannot do delete ot backspace...I want to be able to
temprarily disable the application's overall accelerators when the
form with chtmlview is active...

Hey all,

I have a CMDIChildFrm that implements a CHtmlView. Problem is, the
application has the backspace and delete keys defined as accelerators
for some menu items, which are disabled when this form is
instantiated. If I leave them disabled, backspace and delete keys
don't work (are "dead" keys). If I remove the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI
that disables it, I get shloads of errors. I just want the delete an=

backspace keys to work for this form.

Help!

Thanks!
