Esc exits application

[shetlandbob]

Ok,

Ive got a MFC dialog application, when I hit escape then it quits. I know this is calling the OnCancel() function, but if I override this how do I make the application quit from either the menu (my menu exit call ID_APP_EXIT - which in turn calls OnCancel()) or from the "X" in the top right of the dialog.

I'm pretty sure this is fairly straight forward, but cant for the life of me figure it out.

Thanks

There is a function called PreTranslateMessage!!!

Capture the WM_KEYDOWN there and nullify

Cheers Ravi,

Did it by overriding the OnCancel() message

and then handling the WM_CLOSE message and changing the code generated from

CDialog::OnClose();

to:

CDialog::OnCancel();.
