C / C++ / MFC

1. Throw the PreTranslateMessage thing in the trash can. Read this[^].
2. Avoid having your dialog closed on <Enter> and <Esc> by writing appropriate message handlers. Read this[^].
3. Create a CEdit member variable in your dialog class and call CEdit::SetFocus() on that from CDialog::OnInitDialog(). Read this[^].
4. If you explicitly set focus to a control you should return FALSE from OnInitDialog(). The wizard generated comment also clearly states this.

Heh - wow, the first and last time I recommended using appropriate message handling instead of the over-badly-used PreTranslateMessage() I was ridiculed, tarred, and feathered.
