How Do I Disable the ESC key and X button? 1

[Jordann]

Hi, I'm new(ish) to MFC so this question could be very simple to answer. (I hope so!)

Currently, in my inherited code, the ESC key will even
close the main Property Sheet, and its parent Dialog.

How do I programatically disable the ESC key so that it
closes and discards only certain sub-dialogs?

Thanks in advance

Try the subclassing methods. John Fill

Maybe something like this:

BOOL CMyDialog:reTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
//Don't exit when Escape is pressed.
if(pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && (pMsg->wParam == VK_ESCAPE))
return TRUE;

return CDialog:reTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

PreTranslateMessage can be added via ClassWizard. As for the X button just check out the properties of your dialog and disable it.
