Is there a way to determine when the enter key has been pressed while the edit control has focus? I'm simulating a chat program, a user presses 'Enter' in the edit control will erase the message so they may begin a new.

in which procedure? The parent dialog procedure, or my edit control procedure?

I forgot to mention that I'm trying to avoid subclassing my handlers...

First of all I think you mean VK_RETURN.

Secondly, WM_KEYDOWN is sent for every key I press EXCEPT for the return key. Yet, WM_KEYUP is sent for the return key. I don't get this, why would the return key send a message for WM_KEYUP but not for WM_KEYDOWN?
