Keyboard Accelerators on Modal Dialog?

[flyingcowofdoom]

Hi all. I have a modal dialog box, and I would like to be able to use keyboard shortcuts (i.e. Ctrl-P) within my dialog. I can't figure out how to do this. Does anyone know of a way?

Thanks in advance.

See this (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=300883&highlight=Accelerator+dialog) thread. Especially the last 2 posts.

Thanks. The posts you referred me to have code that uses MFC. I do not use MFC, so I don't think this is what I am looking for. If I am wrong, please correct me.

TIA

If you aren't using MFC, it is still the same procedure..

In your WM_INITDIALOG handler, Load the accelerator..

In your message pump add code to do the TranslateAccelerator

Search for "Using Keyboard Accelerators" article on MSDN . It has the steps..

Ah, forgive me, I forgot to mention...my dialog doesn't have a message loop. My program is a DLL that is called by another program that I cannot edit.
