Edit Box detecting input
Author
How would I go about detecting when someone presses the enter key in an edit box on my win32 dialog?
I''ve tried hooking the EN_CHANGE notification in the parent window''s WM_COMMAND message bt it still won''t work :\
If you are using a multiline edit make sure you specify the ES_WANTRETURN style. If that doesn''t work, or if you are not using a multiline edit I suggest subclassing the edit and handling the WM_KEYDOWN message.

If I subclass it though, won''t I have to do my own custom drawing or does the win32 api provide a function for doing that?

Nope. You can just handle the WM_KEYDOWN message. Instead of calling DefWindowProc() you can call CallWindowProc() and let the default window proc for the edit handle the drawing. See the example here
