Yepper,

Create an accelerator object.
Add your keyboard inputs.
Then in the code...

[green]
//Define an accelerator object in your .h
[/green]
[blue]HACCEL myAccelerator[/blue]

[green]
//In your OnInitDialog Function in the cpp file, add this
[/green]
[blue]myAccelerator=LoadAccelerators(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),MAKEINTRESOURCE(MENU_PRIMARY_ACCEL));[/blue]
[green]
//Where MENU_PRIMARY_ACCEL is the resource name of the accelerator object
[/green]

Hope that helps!

Them: We don't know how to program...

Haha Whoops! I forgot the most import part!

[blue]
[green]//Add this function your class
//This is the Prototype for the .h[/green]
[red] BOOL PreTranslateMessage(Msg* pMsg);[/red]

BOOL CYourClass::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) {
   if (myAccelerator) {
	   if (::TranslateAccelerator(this->m_hWnd,myAccelerator, pMsg)) {
         return(TRUE);
      }
   }
   return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);

}
[/blue]

cout << "If you don't know where you want to go, we'll make sure you get taken";
