Actually you have only to call the same piece of code, in each event handler. I think it is not a big overhead. Why do you want to go against Windows event handling mechanism?

would there be any other functions I can use to achieve what I am trying to do?

BOOL CMyDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)<br />
{<br />
    if( pMsg->message == WM_LBUTTONDOWN )<br />
    {<br />
        if( pMsg->hwnd != m_hWnd )// ignore the message if user has clicked on the dialog<br />
        {<br />
            // Do the processing<br />
        }<br />
    }<br />
    return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage( pMsg );<br />
}

overide the PreTranslateMessage function in the dialog class and check for the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message.
