Problem
How can I change the behavior of the [Tab] key in a dialog? I want the [Tab] key to activate the next dialog control
Cause
Action
You should override OnGetDlgCode() (add a message map entry for WM_GETDLGCODE) and return:
| return CWnd::OnGetDlgCode() | DLGC_WANTARROWS | DLGC_WANTCHARS; |
And a final thing is that when an edit control has the focus, it will continue to interpret the TAB Key. A solution for this is to override ProcessKeys() and check for the TAB Key.
The following code fragments should help you. If you would like to test it immediately, you can copy them to the file dergrdlg.cpp in the sample1 application.
| ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // CDerGridWnd message handlers BOOL CDerGridWnd::ProcessKeys(CWnd* pSender, UINT nMessage, UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT flags) { |
||||||
| if (pSender != this) { |
||||||
| if (nMessage == WM_KEYDOWN && nChar == VK_TAB) { |
||||||
| CWnd* pDlg = GetParent();
while (pDlg && !pDlg->IsKindOf(RUNTIME_CLASS(CDialog))) |
||||||
| pDlg = pDlg->GetParent(); | ||||||
| if (pDlg) { |
||||||
| CWnd* pWndNext = pDlg->GetNextDlgTabItem(m_pGridWnd);
if (pWndNext != NULL) |
||||||
| TRACE("SetFocus "); pWndNext->SetFocus(); return TRUE; |
||||||
| } | ||||||
| } | ||||||
| } | ||||||
| }
return CGXGridWnd::ProcessKeys(pSender, nMessage, nChar, nRepCnt, flags); |
||||||
| } | ||||||
