[Closed] General MDI Accelerators Problem

Hi Oleg,

In an MDI app. I'm having problems, some of which are seen in the Codejock samples. It would be great to get Accelerators working here, I can always add some keyboard hooks if needed as a workaround but would rather see if is a Simon problem (as it so often is).

[1] In the DockingPane\PaneSample why do the File menu's accelerators (Ctrl+N etc.) not work when a Pane has focus? They work when the View has focus.

More specifically, what do I have to do so that the acclerators work when the panes have focus? This answer may help with [2].

[2] I have a rather convoluted setup (see attached picture).

• Accelerators do not work when my left-hand side dialog panes have focus.
• Accelerators work 100% for the TaskPanel (Macros) pane.
• The form has two CDialogs as children, accelerators do not work here.

Regarding the form - I have two controls on the dialog which hold the position for two CDialogs, I chose this approach as I want Command bars as you see. My only problem is the accelerators. I wonder if there is any other way of acheiving what I see here?

Well done - you really know MFC
