    Mousetrap needed

    I have a dialog full of textboxes, one below the other. With some effort I have managed
    to get both the scroll bar and the cursor keys to respond, but I also need to trap
    a normal mouse left button click so that I can set focus on the box selected. Tried all
    sorts of GetMessage variations, but no joy. What is the simple (:-]) answer?

    The function EditKeyPress below is called by all the textboxes, after sub-classing, by means of -


    ' Subclass the edit controls
    For x& = 5 To QLlines&
    Control Handle CbHndl, x& To hEdit&
    gOldSubClassProc& = SetWindowLong(hEdit&, %GWL_WNDPROC, CodePtr(EditKeyPress))
    Next

    PS: have finally discovered a bookshop where they HAVE ACTUALLY HEARD of the Petzold book!

    It is very hard to look at your code "unformatted". If you could edit your post and add a {code} flag at the beginning, and a {/code} flag at the end (with [square] instead of {curly} brackets) it will be much easier for people to troubleshoot. Even better, if possible, could you post a complete, compilable example?

    One thing I did notice... Doing this:

    Code:
    Case 38 'ArrowUp
UpMore:
    ...and doing a GOTO into the middle of a SELECT structure is considered to be bad practice. Strongly discouraged, perhaps even dangerous. You'd be much better off doing it like this:

    Code:
    Case 38 'ArrowUp
        GOSUB UpMore
Case (etc.)
    ...and having the other code GOSUB and exit instead of using GOTO.

      Thank you, Eric. Your point taken about the GOTO.

      The executable code is far too large to post here. However, I think I have put my question badly: I DO trap the mouse by means of --

      Function EditKeyPress (ByVal hWnd&, ByVal wMsg&, ByVal wParam&, ByVal lParam&) As Long
      Static CurBox&

      Select Case wMsg&

      Case %WM_LBUTTONDOWN
      n&=GetDlgItem(qDlg&, lParam&)
      MsgBox(Str$(n&)+Str$(LoWrd(lParam&))+Str$(HiWrd(lParam&)) _
      +Str$(LoWrd(wParam&))+Str$(HiWrd(wParam&)))

      Case %WM_CREATE etc.

      The problem is, having got that far, how to IDENTIFY the text box where the click occurred. That msgbox gives the x and y in the two words of lParam. And, though this is the "proxy" callback function (by virtue of sub-classing) such things as CbCtl and CbCtlMsg are not permissable. The parameters received do not seem to be a substitute set.

        Silly twit! Try this ---

        Function EditKeyPress (ByVal hWnd&, ByVal wMsg&, ByVal wParam&, ByVal lParam&) As Long
        Static CurBox&

        Select Case wMsg&

        Case %WM_LBUTTONDOWN
        n&=GetDlgCtrlID(hWnd&)
        CurrLine&=n&
        ScrPos&=n&-5
        Control Set Focus qDlg&, n&

        Case %WM_CREATE etc.

        It works. To try, try and try again, add one TRY.

        Thanks for your time and trouble, Eric.

          There's a 'Noclick' or 'Nofocus' (VB) example on my site.

            I guess I don't understand why Windows was not automatically giving the focus to the control that you were clicking on, but as long as it's working for you now...
