The following example shows how to subclass an instance of an edit control in a dialog box. The subclass window procedure enables the edit control to receive all keyboard input, including the ENTER and TAB keys, whenever the control has the input focus.
WNDPROC wpOrigEditProc; LRESULT APIENTRY EditBoxProc( HWND hwndDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { HWND hwndEdit; switch(uMsg) { case WM_INITDIALOG: // Retrieve the handle to the edit control. hwndEdit = GetDlgItem(hwndDlg, ID_EDIT); // Subclass the edit control. wpOrigEditProc = (WNDPROC) SetWindowLong(hwndEdit, GWL_WNDPROC, (LONG) EditSubclassProc); // // Continue the initialization procedure. // return TRUE; case WM_DESTROY: // Remove the subclass from the edit control. SetWindowLong(hwndEdit, GWL_WNDPROC, (LONG) wpOrigEditProc); // // Continue the cleanup procedure. // break; } return FALSE; UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(lParam); } // Subclass procedure LRESULT APIENTRY EditSubclassProc( HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { if (uMsg == WM_GETDLGCODE) return DLGC_WANTALLKEYS; return CallWindowProc(wpOrigEditProc, hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam); }
