Button

I have created a window a edit box and 1 push button.
Is there anyway to make it so that when the user is typing in text in the edit box and pushes enter, the push button is pressed?
I'm using MFC.

Hey there. I hope my information can help you out.

First, I would like to say hello to everyone again. It's been quite a long time since I've posted on these forums, although I visit the site itself quite often.

Anyhow, it depends on what kind of window you are using. I can tell you how if you are using a dialog window.

All you have to do is handle the dialog class's "OkOK()" function in its .cpp source file.

All you do is comment out the line that says (or is similar to) "return CDialog::OnOK();" first. Then, above that line you add this:

Code:

// With a member variable
m_Button1.SendMessage(BM_CLICK);

If this isn't what you needed I'm sorry. But I tried.

Yup, i'm creating a dialog window, but i can't find the "return CDialog::OnOK();" line.

Here's my code:

Code:

// test4Dlg.cpp : implementation file
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "test4.h"
#include "test4Dlg.h"
#include <c:\WinNTL-5_3_1\include\NTL/ZZ.h>

#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#undef THIS_FILE
static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__;
#endif

ZZ chartoZZ ( CString strinput );
void ZZtochar ( ZZ a, char num[] );

If the edit box isn't a multi-line edit box, just make the button the "defaut" button of the dialog.
It looks like this:

Okay. You may want to try using the class wizard (CTRL+W) to add the "OnOK" function. If that doesn't work you can try Codeplug's suggestion.

Yup, it works, thanks for the help guys.
