hi all
i tried with this code and the problem is Partially resolved
UINT CMyEdit::OnGetDlgCode()
{
return DLGC_WANTARROWS|DLGC_WANTALLKEYS|DLGC_WANTCHARS;
}
void CHoverButton::OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
if (nChar == VK_RETURN || nChar == VK_SPACE)
{
//AfxMessageBox(_T("got it"));
}
return CBitmapButton::OnKeyDown(nChar,nRepCnt,nFlags);
}
but the problem is when i use tab Key, Focus does not move

Can you explain better what you want to do?
Are you using MFC?
By standard when a button has focus the ENTER key works the same way as a mouse click on the button. Is this what you want?

thanks for your reply
i am using MFC
and by default when My Button has focus it does not process "Enter" it processes VK_SPACE
and my problem is i want to handle it on "Enter Key"
by the Way i handled it like this , i am not sure to what extent it is right
BOOL CHoverButton::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
if (pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN)
{
GetOwner()->PostMessage(WM_COMMAND,GetDlgCtrlID());
return TRUE;
}
CBitmapButton::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
but this works

Standard dialog procedure transforms Enter key pressing into click on default button - this is one of the most original UI design rule. The default button is featured with bold/highlighted border - visual sign of expecting Enter key pressing to be processed.
Hence, detouring the Enter key processing by intercepting/overriding behavior of current default button may be confusing for ordinary user, and for experienced one - even annoying :mad: (typically it makes user start finding the recycle bin at once ;)).

Yes, your code looks correct - for any other case but button.
Once you make the button default you never need any additional efforts - the system will work for you then. :D
