Default Dialog Button not working

[12oclocker]

I make a modeless dialog with this...
CreateDialogParam

my dialog has 2 richedit controls, and 1 button, I want the ENTER key to activate the button,
I have the button set as default in the Resource style, and by code, and still it does not work, pressing enter makes a WANT RETURN on the rich edit control (even though I have WANT RETURN disabled in the style for it) The codes works in MFC but I cant get it working in win32api

this is not working...

case WM_INITDIALOG:
{
//set the default button
::SendMessage(hwnd,DM_SETDEFID,IDC_BTN1,0);
HWND hButton = ::GetDlgItem(hwnd,IDC_BTN1);
SendMessage(hButton,BM_SETSTYLE,BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON,TRUE);


I cant get WM_KEYDOWN or WM_CHAR to work in the dialogProc eithor :-(



//here is my message loop
while(GetMessage(&Msg, NULL, 0, 0) > 0)
{
if(!IsDialogMessage(Msg.hwnd, &Msg))//needed to handle modeless dlg messages
{
TranslateMessage(&Msg);
DispatchMessage(&Msg);
}
}


//according to msdn I am doing everything correctly :-( ??

Are you using CreateDialog or CreateDialogEx?

Im using CreateDialogParam, to make a modeless dialog,

I did figure out a work around, I trap the VK_RETURN message inside the richedit control, and use DM_GETDEFID to get the default button ID in the main dlg, then I post a simulated button press back to the main dialog, kind of a sloppy way to do things, but its working


here is my workaround code inside the rich edit control...

    case WM_KEYDOWN:
        {
            if(wParam == VK_RETURN)
            {
                //MessageBox(NULL, "test Rich", "test Rich", MB_ICONWARNING);
                //post back a message to parent dialog of a simulated default button click
                HWND hParent = ::GetParent(hwnd);
                LRESULT ret = ::SendMessage(hParent,DM_GETDEFID,0,0);
                WORD wCtrlID = LOWORD(ret); //will contain the control ID
                WORD wHasDef = HIWORD(ret); //will contain DC_HASDEFID
                if(wCtrlID && wHasDef == DC_HASDEFID)
                {
                    HWND hCtrl = ::GetDlgItem(hParent,wCtrlID);
                    ::SendMessage(hParent,WM_COMMAND,MAKEWPARAM(wCtrlID,BN_CLICKED),(LPARAM)hCtrl);
                    return 0;//dont process VK_RETURN in our control
                }
            }
            break;
        }
