The OnChar-Message is send to the childwnd that has the focus and that's why you don't get it in the Dialog.

hai,

Refering to your Ques about OnChar()in dialog.
I think u can't catch OnChar() directly in dlg application.
u do the following..

override virtual PreTranslateMessage

BOOL CMyDialog::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{

if(pMsg->message==WM_CHAR)
{
AfxMessageBox("RAJJU");

}

return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}


remove message box and do what u want .
If u get a better solution ps mail to sriram_kosuri@hotmail.com

bye ....

if it gets to complicated, use a CFormView based application...
