AFAIK FormatPartition() is used for Windows CE and for smart devices. VC++ 6 does not support smart device development. Use eVC++ or VS 2005 to use this function.

By the way, For which platform you are using this function?
Smart device or Desktop Development???

My friend, this time I had to balance the troll's vote to your reply.

I am having a dialog control with edit boxes in it and when I type in those boxes and hit 'Enter' key the dialog closes. I am not having any OK or Cancel buttons (I deleted them as soon as I created the dialog). I want to replicate tab behavior when I hit 'Enter' key and also for a couple of edit boxes in the same dialog I have declared handlers to do some processing as below-

//in Message Map<br />
ON_NOTIFY(EN_MSGFILTER, IDE_CONTROL, UpdateControl)<br />
//in OnInitDialog fucntion<br />
CWnd* wnd;<br />
wnd = GetDlgItem(IDE_CONTROL);<br />
wnd->SendMessage(EM_SETEVENTMASK, 0, ENM_KEYEVENTS);<br />
//later in the file<br />
void CControlDlg::UpdateControl(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) <br />
{<br />
//code to perform some functions<br />
}

How can I perform both of these functions at the same time (disabling enter key/escape key from closing the dialog, while processing the above function when you hit 'Enter' key in some single line edit boxes)??

thanks for any help.

Set your edit box to 'want enter' key...

God bless,

Thanks or the reply, I did that too, but it still closes the dialog box Confused | :confused:

. I would like to have them do some function if I want to and/or just go to next control in tab order.

Usually when you press enter in a dialog the default button gets pressed... in order to avoid that you should:

A) Remove that button. (Not the best solution)
B) Handle that in the pretranslatemessage. (Not the best solution)
C) Handle the event of pressing that button.
D) Possibly other solutions that I don't remember now...

Hope this helps.

OOps! I've not read your message correctly... I would make a special class that would handle this kind of event, then it is very easy to make it work:

void CTAMEdit::OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)<br />
{<br />
	switch (nChar)<br />
	{<br />
		case VK_UP:<br />
		{<br />
			GetParent()->;PostMessage(WM_NEXTDLGCTL,TRUE,0);<br />
			return;<br />
		}<br />
		case VK_DOWN:<br />
		{<br />
			GetParent()->;PostMessage(WM_NEXTDLGCTL,FALSE,0);<br />
			return;<br />
		}<br />
		case VK_RETURN:<br />
		{<br />
			FinishEditing();<br />
			return;<br />
		}<br />
	}<br />
	CEdit::OnKeyDown(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);<br />
}

I've used that code to handle the up and down keys in order to go to the next control in the dialog...

Now I hope this helps you... Rose | [Rose]

Thanks for the reply, I tried this by adding WM_KEYDOWN function to the dialog and editing it in the way you did, but it never went into that function and closes the dialog. Since you are saying that it worked for you, I think I may be doing something wrong Sniff | :^)

I handled the WM_KEYDOWN message yes, but not in the dialog, I made a special class derived from a CEdit and handled that message in that class (so it is handled before being handled in the dialog itself).

If you want to stop that or process that in the dialog (not recommended and much more easy and portable if you do that special class) you can use the PreTranslateMessage routine.

Hope this helps.

I tried by defining a new class derived from CEdit class and then defined WM_KEYDOWN message handle in it as you have shown above. Now I created a new edit control box in my dialog which is an object of newly derived class. Even now when I try to hit enter it closes the dialog box.

I got that behaviour in the CEdit derived class, but I handled also the PreTranslateMessage... ( Blush | :O

didn't remembered...).

If you do that in the dialog it will work for you.

BOOL CTAM_BODlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)<br />
{<br />
	if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)<br />
	{<br />
		switch (pMsg->wParam)<br />
		{<br />
			case VK_RETURN:<br />
			{<br />
				CWnd *pWnd = GetFocus();<br />
				if (pWnd == &m_cBtnPasteApplyNow)<br />
				{<br />
					OnBnClickedBtnPasteApplyNow();<br />
				}<br />
				else if (pWnd == &m_cBtnPasteCalibrate)<br />
				{<br />
					OnBnClickedBtnPasteCalibrate();<br />
				}<br />
<big>				return FALSE;</big><br />
			}<br />
		}<br />
	}<br />
<br />
	return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);<br />
}

return FALSE is the key...
