Accelerator causing conflict

[Skynet]

Hi,

I have a WIN32 dialog based application with Accelerator for Menu & short cut key. My App have an amodal popup dialog with an Editbox control. When I do CTRL+C in the EditBox, the Accelerator trap the event and my main dialog receive the command

I know that I can right-click in my Editbox to display the Cut&Paste menu but I absolutetly need that short-key work for EditBox.

Any idea to solve the problem?

Thanks,
Michel.

Hi Michel,

PreTranslateMessage(...) may help. Here's a sample that hooks up F5 to a refresh function.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Hook up F5 to Refresh
//
BOOL CDlg::PreTranslateMessage( MSG* pMsg ) {

    if( pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN ) {

        if( pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN || pMsg->wParam == VK_ESCAPE ) {

            // Do something

            ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
            //
            // Any Non-Zero will do
            //
            return TRUE;
        
        } else if( pMsg->wParam == VK_F5 ) {
    
            ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
            //
            // Call our Refresh
            //
            RefreshListView();

            ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
            //
            // Any Non-Zero will do
            //
            return TRUE;
        }
    }

    return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
