: can anybody help
: pinkie
:
In the PreTranslateMessge() function. When the message is VK_ESCAPE just return TRUE. I put it in my project's CWinApp-derived class so that it will be disabled throughout the entire program, not just one specific view or dialog.

i tried as u suggested. The ESCAPE key is working as expected, but TAB is not working now. what do i do?

post the OnTranslateMessage() function that you created. Disabling the ESC key should not have that side affect. That must be a different problem.

here it is


BOOL CMyDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
if (pMsg->message == VK_ESCAPE )
{
return TRUE;
}
else
{
return FALSE;// but TAB is not working
}

//return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);

}

Pl tell me is anything wrong with my code???

delete the else statement!
// 	else
//         {
// 	     return FALSE;//  but TAB is not working
// 	}
      
UN-delete this next line!  
      return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
 
 }

:

BOOL CTest5Dlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) 
{
	if(pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)
	{
		if(pMsg->wParam == VK_ESCAPE)
			return TRUE;
	}
	return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

Another way to do this, but it will make life little harder on dialogs:

BOOL COwnApp::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
    if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)
    {
        SendMessage(GetActiveWindow(), pMsg->message, pMsg->wParam, pMsg->lParam);
        return TRUE;
    }

    return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

: {
: 	if(pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)

: 			return TRUE;

: 	return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
