This is because Enter and Space tell your dialog that the default button was clicked. Try intercepting the WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP messages.
An multiline edit box will capture spaces, but not enter (only Ctrl+Enter), unless you specify the ES_WANTRETURN style or check the "Want Return" box in the properties. A single-line edit box will only capture space.
Most other controls will capture space if they are selected and act as if the selected item was clicked. This applies to buttons, radios, checks, selects, combos etc.
