CEdit and enter key

[Drew C. Schleit]

The default behavior for pressing the Enter key in an edit box in a dialog
box is to submit the dialog box using IDOK. How do I change this so I can
make the Enter key do something else? Thanks.

[Dave Smith]

First, make certain that your "OK" button does *NOT* have the
BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON style set. This style makes pressing enter the same as
clicking on this button. In fact, make certain that none of your pushbuttons
have this style.

Then, if your edit box is a multi-line edit control, set the ES_WANTRETURN
style on it.

In Derived class from CEdit, pretranslate the keydown message and do
something else....

[Kee]

if you want the enter key to move from the edit box to next control (another
edit box below it), you can change(derive) the box to accept enter key to
work as 'tab' (make sure to set the correct tab order)

Kee:

And a fourth answer ...

Override PreTranslateMessage() in the dialog and look for WM_KEYDOWN and
VK_RETURN. Return TRUE and do not call the base class.

Personally, I like this way the best. No extra derived classes, and no
"trickery" with the buttons.
