Hello! I have created a simple app - one parent window, a couple of edits and buttons in it, as its children. I want to be able to switch between edits with the TAB key. I thought these two will do... guess I was wrong. Can anybody explain how to make it work? Even the simplest app with a window and two edits - when I press TAB w want to switch edits. And in my app nothing happens (not even a warning soud). wndHandle = CreateWindowEx( WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT, "MainWindow", "My application", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 640, 480, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL); edit1Handle = CreateWindowEx( WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "Edit", NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | ES_NUMBER | WS_TABSTOP, 20, 25, 30, 20, wndHandle, NULL, hInstance, NULL); edit2Handle = CreateWindowEx( WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "Edit", NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | ES_NUMBER | WS_TABSTOP, 20, 75, 30, 20, wndHandle, NULL, hInstance, NULL); Just a fragment... Why doesn't the TAB key work???

You'll need to use IsDialogMessage(). Change your message pump to this

Did what you proposed... but now when I execute my program, the window is shown but the cursor is still a sand-glass, and the application doesn't respond. My WinMain looks like this:

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,LPTSTR lpCmdLine,int nCmdShow)
{
if (!initWindow(hInstance))
return false;
MSG msg;
ZeroMemory(&msg,sizeof(msg));
while(msg.message!=WM_QUIT)
{
while (GetMessage(&msg,wndHandle,0,0))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
return (int)msg.wParam;
}

Any idea, please?

PS. I'm sorry for not answering for a long time. I was away.

Now it works perfect! And what's better, I understand it :) Big thanx guys for help!!!
