onChar issue

[BeeerFizz]

Hi,

within a dialog, which has several edit boxes and buttons, I have defined a message handler for WM_CHAR using the class wizard. This creates

void CKeyFromSource::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
int i;
i = 1; // break here
CDialog::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}

I have a break on the i=1 line;

This break is never hit...

Do I have to do something to cause these messages to be passed along?
Is there something which inhibits these messages?
I am using Visual C++ 6.0

Thanks for all help.

In order to use the WM_CHAR message you will have to create a class, connect it to the edit box, then create the subclass message handler.

There is an example in "Practical Visual C++ 6"
by Jon Bates and Tim tompkins
a QUE book.

If it ain't broke, it probably needs improvement.
