win32: hitting escape to exit while focused in a edit box
Author
I can't seem to do the following code while my text editor program is focused on the edit box. There's no way to click outside of it so it doesn't do anything with VK_ESCAPE. I looked all over in a few books to answer this question but I can't find anything. Any help is appreciated.
The problem is that the edit box is processing the WM_KEYDOWN message before your app does.
You've only got one way round this. That is to superclass the edit box control by doing the following (in pseudocode)

WM_INITDIALOG:eb = GetDlgItem (the_edit_box_id);old_proc = GetWindowLong (eb, GWL_WNDPROC);SetWindowLong (eb, GWL_WNDPROC, superclass_proc);WM_DESTROY:eb = GetDlgItem (the_edit_box_id);SetWindowLong (eb, GWL_WNDPROC, old_proc);superclass_proc:if (message == WM_KEYDOWN && key == the_escape_key){ result = pass message to parent window}else{ result = old_proc (proc parameters);}return result;Skizz
