    Drawing edit control

    I've created an edit control using CreateWindowEx. I want to capture keypresses, and send them to the parent.
    When i check the input to the WM_COMMAND case in WndProc in the parent window, i don't receive anything when i press Esc, enter, etc...
    How can i accomplish this, am i on the wrong direction here?

    Code:
    if((retVal=CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "EDIT", achTxt, WS_CHILD|WS_TABSTOP, x, y, w, h, hwParent, NULL, hInstance, NULL))!=NULL){
    		ShowWindow(retVal, SW_SHOW); 		return(retVal);
    	}else
    		return(0);

    I tried this right after creation, but this makes the box appeaer grayed.
    Can i filter messages from the edit control, and send the messages i don't need back to the edit control's wndproc by using callWndProc?

    Code:
    if((lWndProc=GetWindowLong(mS->txtPNr, GWL_WNDPROC))){
      SetWindowLong(mS->txtPNr, GWL_WNDPROC, GetWindowLong(mS->hWnd, GWL_WNDPROC));
    }
