Need help with Property Pages and Edit controls

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:

Code:

---

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:

Code:

---

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.

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

I did :

Code:

---

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.

I found the answer in this Microsoft article:

I got lucky with my google fu. Now to try and find the answer to the 2nd question.
