MFC Question

[nabeels786]

When you make a Dialog project, how do I override the "press enter then it exits" thingy? I can't seem to figure it out

Thanks

Ok I think I've figured it out

I need to add it in the BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP() thing, like ON_WM_PAINT()
etc

ON_WM_KEYPRESS()?

Edit:
I got it, but it's not detecting when Enter is pressed. I used "OnKeyPress" and "OnSysKeyDown". OnKeyPress works, but I can't seem to catch the enter key

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CServerDlg, CDialog)
	ON_WM_SYSCOMMAND()
	ON_WM_PAINT()
	ON_WM_QUERYDRAGICON()
	ON_WM_KEYDOWN()
	ON_WM_CLOSE()
	//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()


void CServerDlg::OnKeyDown(UINT one, UINT two, UINT three){
	MessageBox("pressed key","key",MB_OK);
}

When I press enter, the message box doesn't show up, for all other keys, it does

This probably isn't a great fix for your problem when
the dialog exits with a carriage return, but here is a
way around the problem...

1) create an extra button in your dialog.
2) open the properties box, and on the "General" tab,
clear the check marks for "Visible" and "Tab Stop".
(The button will be visible in the resource editor,
but will not be displayed when the program runs.)
On the properties box "Styles" tab, put a check mark
next to "Default button". This button should now
intercept the carriage return key.


i've also had the same problem before.

nabeels786: What about putting 2 messageboxes to troubleshoot?

Maybe the messagebox got the enter key as u may be pressing more than once, from MSDN

"Because of auto-repeat, more than one OnKeyDown call may occur before an OnKeyUp member function call is made. The bit that indicates the previous key state can be used to determine whether the OnKeyDown call is the first down transition or a repeated down transition."

Try using OnKeyUp insteads.

Are you just using the OK button - or is it buttons in general. If it's the OK button, you can override the OnOK() function such that when you press return, the OK button runs a different routine.

Am I understanding correctly - or am I shooting well wide?

This worked, I just set the button to default

Thanks

No I just deleted the stuff on the form, and the code that I didn't need

You could also have tried overriding PreTranslateMessage and intercepting the message there.
