The default behaviour for the 'ENTER' and 'ESC' keys are 'IDOK' and 'IDCANCEL'. Both will close your dialog. To avoid this you can do the following things...

1. Overriding 'PreTranslateMessage()'

BOOL CYourDialog::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
// ENTER key
if((pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN) && (pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN))
return TRUE;

// ESC key
if((pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN) && (pMsg->wParam == VK_ESCAPE))
return TRUE;

return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

2. Overriding 'OnOK()' or 'OnCancel()'

// ENTER key
void CYourDialog::OnOK()
{
// CDialog::OnOK(); <-- Disable this line
}

// ESC key
void CYourDialog::OnCancel()
{
// CDialog::OnCancel(); <-- Disable this line
}

These are of course only 2 ways...for additional information take a look at this FAQ (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=231075)

Or change the default id values (IDOK, IDCANCEL) to something else, so that the default map is disabled.
