Buttons & ENTER Key

[David Hoff Jr]

I have a Name/Address/Phone List program with 15 Textboxes and 4 Buttons. The buttons respond correctly to mouse clicks and accelerator keys. But, if I use the tab key to move to the first button, or Shift Tab to move to the last button and then press the ENTER key, I do not get a consistant response. The first time the button responds correctly, the second time it does not. Am I missing or not handling a CBCTLMSG or does this require Sub Classing.

You might try an %IDOK in the callback to process the Enter key. Get
the id of the button and then use sendmessage depending on your code.

I know that doesn't answer your question but it might solve your situation.

<ENTER> sends WM COMMAND/IDOK, unelss there is a current default pushbutton, in which case it sends WM_COMMAND/that control.

Easiest way to handle is to convert WM_COMMAND/IDOK to the control wth the focus:

   CASE %WM_COMMAND
        IF LOWRD(wParam) = %IDOK THEN 
               PostMessage  GetFocus(), %BM_CLICK, %NULL, %NULL 
               FUNCTION = 0 
               EXIT FUNCTION
           .....
