I need to tab to next CEdit using the <ENTER> key instead of the <TAB> key . . .

appreciate any suggs. Thanks. JD

Try trapping the OnChar call. if the enter key is set handle as you need.
Else just pass on to the parent class. THis does require a derived class.

void CMabEdit::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
if(nChar==13)
{
OnKillfocus();
return;
}
CEdit::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}

OK, try this (its a little bit "dirty" but fast, easy and works anytime)

- Put a button on your dialog.
- make it the default button (now it catches the enter key)
- hide this button
- create the OnButton...() method via class wizard
- enter a code like this (i think "OnKillFocus()" as mentioned in another post should not be called directly):

--------

void CKostenEditDlg::OnButtonReturn()
{
CWnd* pCurrentItem = GetFocus();
// if (pCurrentItem == &m_ctrlUmlage)
// OnDblclkUmlage();
// else {
CWnd* pNextItem = GetNextDlgTabItem( pCurrentItem );
pNextItem-&gt;SetFocus();
if ( pNextItem-&gt;IsKindOf( RUNTIME_CLASS( CEdit )) )
((CEdit*)pNextItem)-&gt;SetSel(0, -1);
// }
}

--------

you don't need the code I have commented, that part I used to catch the enter key on a CListCtrl (m_ctrlUmlage) and call the onDoubleClck()-method for that control ....

I derived MyComboBox & thought I captured the WM_CHAR, . . . but apparently not since the function is never called. Should I just use a list box with my own CEdit . . would that be the easiest way? Sure appreciate your help! JD

learn to create a web page & others would be able to download programs from
the site. (like yours) Thanks very much for any suggestions you might be
able to provide. My email is JMR@ATLASCOMM.NET
