WS_TABSTOP related question

[john tindell]

hey i have two windows that i create and both i want to be able to tab though the controls, all the controls have the WS_TABSTOP style and the windows have the WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT style on them but i can only get on window at a time to be able to tab. I think its the code in the message loop which i found from searching here,

while(GetMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0)>0){
	if(!IsDialogMessage(hwnd_Win,&msg)){
		TranslateMessage(&msg);
		DispatchMessage(&msg);
	}
}

any ideas would be great Thanks

You need to call IsDialogMessage for every window that should tab.

Best would be to have some container where you put in all tabbing HWNDs and just loop over that container.

so where would that go? sorry im confused about where to put the IsDialogMessage. does it not go in the messsage loop, or do i just call it more than once where it is?

Thanks

Where it is, more than once.
