Hi Paul,

This explains why you are getting WM_KEYUP and WM_KEYDOWN but no WM_CHAR
messages. Not all controls get all the messages. e.g. Buttons get key
up/down messages but no WM_CHARs.
What messages a control gets depends on how the control procedure
responds to the WM_GETDLGCODE message.
A very good explanation of what WM_GETDLGCODE is, and what messages a
control might receive, is given in article Q83302 in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base.
Paul, I think going through that article would make things more clear.
Thanks.
