Hi all
I am making a dialog based application.
Now when we press "Esc" button then dialog is closed.
Now I want to stop this activity that is if press Esc button then dialog should not be closed.

Please help ( better if provide some code snippet for implementing this)

BOOL CDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
                BOOL             handled;               // indicates if message was handled

        // assume that we didn't handle the message
        handled = FALSE;

        if (pMsg->wParam == VK_ESCAPE)
        {
                // prevent escape key from trickling
                handled = TRUE;
        }

        // else let base class handle
        else
        {
                handled = CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
        }
        return handled;

}

Take a look at this FAQ - it also explains that overriding PreTranslateMessage is not recommended in this situation.

Besides that: Dismissing a dialog with the Esc key is expected behaviour for dialogs - users will think something is wropng with your dialog if it doesn't behave that way. So I guess that your application probably shouldn't be a dialog, but a regualar application in the first place.

If that is the case..
Override the OnCancel function for the dialog and Possible also to override OnOk and OnClose..
Ok .. Gstercken ?
Anyway thanks for the info ...
