Thread: Why VK_RETURN not working???

This is my code

Code:

WNDPROC oldEditProc;

INT_PTR CALLBACK newEditProc(HWND hEdit, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {
	switch (uMsg)
	{
	case WM_KEYDOWN:
		{
			SendMessage(GetParent(hEdit), uMsg, wParam, lParam);
			break;
		}
	}
	return CallWindowProc(oldEditProc, hEdit, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
}

//...

oldEditProc = (WNDPROC)SetWindowLongPtr(GetDlgItem(hDlg, IDC_EDIT1), GWLP_WNDPROC, (LONG)newEditProc);

// ...

case WM_KEYDOWN:
		{
			switch (wParam)
			{
			case VK_RETURN:
				{
					MessageBox(hDlg, 0, 0, 0); // I can't see this
					break;
				}
			}
			return 0;
		}

//...

DialogBoxParam(someInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1), somehwndParent, DlgProc, NULL);

I can't see the messagebox, any ideas???

Does the edit have the ES_WANTRETURN and ES_MULTILINE styles?

Nop, is a single line edit control

I don't think edits without the ES_MULTILINE and ES_WANTRETURN send VK_RETURN msgs.

from MSDN

"ES_WANTRETURN Specifies that a carriage return be inserted when the user presses the ENTER key while entering text into a multiple-line edit control in a dialog box. Without this style, pressing the ENTER key has the same effect as pressing the dialog box’s default pushbutton. This style has no effect on a single-line edit control. "
