Intercepting Key strokes before children control receives them...

[Jaime Wyant]

Is there a way to intercept keystrokes before they go to the child controls? I need to update a tree control if F5 is pressed, but am not sure how to "intercept" this keystroke.

Thanks,
Jaime

Try using PreTranslateMessage() to trap the messages. Then check for WM_KEYDOWN. I believe the lParam value is the key that was pressed.

Try subclassing for the tree control.
