Modeless Dialog Question

[Mark Roberts]

Greetings:

I've created a modeless dialog with a simple edit box in it. I want the
user to be able to enter text through the edit box. I have found that if
the user presses the ENTER key while in the edit box, the message to
CLOSE the dialog gets issued. I don't want this. Ideally, if the user
presses ENTER after typing text in the edit box, I would like it to
accept the text typed, as if the "Apply" button had been clicked, but I
do not want it to close the dialog - only the CLOSE button gets to do
that.

Thank you in advance,

Thats because your CLOSE button's DEFAULT property is set to TRUE

With ClassWizard (are you using VC++ ?) create the method associated
with the message ON_CLICK of OK button.
CW will create this kind of code:

void CYourDialog::OnOK()
{
// TODO: Add extra validation here

CDialog::OnOK();
}

To solve your problem, do this:

void CYourDialog::OnOK()
{
// TODO: Add extra validation here

// CDialog::OnOK(); <<<<<<---- look at this line!!!!!
}

That's all!

HTH,
Massimo.
