Hello,

I am new to MFC.

I have created a Dialog in MFC application.
I have added two buttons in the dialog and
dynamically i have created a Toolbar and added two buttons to the Toolbar.

NOw, ON tab change, I am getting the focus in the button of tool bar but when enter key is pressed the application gets closed.
I have implemented a overridden function PreTranslateMessage. But on Enter key pressed, this overridden function is not called. ON Enter Key Down, Oncancel event is called and application gets closed.

But when i created a simple button, and on enter key press, the overridden Function PreTranslateMessage is called properly.

Can any one help me on finding a good solution?
I will be really grateful and thanking you in advance.

Regards,

Solution 1

Probably because your OK button is the default, and will get fired when you press enter. Try reading up on the use and programming of dialogs at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632588(v=vs.85).aspx[^].

Solution 2

Override CDialog::OnOk(){} (do nothing).

To avoid cancel, override CDialog::OnCancel(){} (do nothing)

Hope it helps.
