CStatic notification messages

[dima2]

Hi,
In my MFC application, I have a CStatic control and I'm trying to get a notification when the user clicks the control. I set the SS_NOTIFY style and
I tried to handle the ON_BN_CLICKED and the ON_STN_CLICKED but none of these is getting called.
actually no messages are being sent to the main dialog window (I checked in the PreTranslateMessage) no matter what I do to the static control no notification is sent.

Am I missing something?
what am i doing wrong?

CStatic is just used to show the message. It does not have any event for the user to catch.
You have two choices :
1. catch your LButton_down event of your dialog, then test if the mouse click is on your static control.
2. use CEdit control in the read-only mode. This time, catch the setfocus event of the edit control.
