Need help with Property Pages and Edit controls

[DeepT]

I have two problems.

1. When a certain property page is shown, I want a particular edit box to have focus. I am not sure how to do this, but I tried:

BOOL PropPageHello::OnSetActive() 
{
	EditUserName.SetFocus();
	
	return CPropertyPage::OnSetActive();
}

I put in break points and it definitely executes that each time it is first displayed.


2. When I push enter in one edit box I want the next edit box to get focus and become active. I tried the following on the property page:

void PropPageHello::OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
	// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default

	CPropertyPage::OnKeyDown(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}

If you put a break point on the only executable line there, it never gets hit. This is how you (or at least one way) to do it in a normal dialog, but it doesn't seem to work for property sheets. How do you do it for property pages and sheets?

Just a guess, but try calling the SetFocus after calling the base class OnSetActive.

Tried it and it didn't work.

Tried it and it didn't work.

You didn't leave the return statement on the base class call did you?

I did :

BOOL PropPageHello::OnSetActive() 
{
	BOOL Ret = CPropertyPage::OnSetActive();

	EditUserName.SetFocus();
	
	return Ret;
}

Hmm, no responses on question 2

I'd probably try to intercept it with PreTranslateMessage.
