Any Ctrl- combinations (ctrl-x, ctrl-c) are not working in CEdit fields in any dialog forms when used in a docking bar.
You can easily try with your ActivePaneView example by placing an EditControl in the dialogbox. Ctrl-X is not working inside. Tested with MfC 13.4.2

Seems to be an issue with keyboard hooking...

Hi,

If you have Ctrl+C n your main Accelerator table it will be converted to ID_EDIT_COPY command.

you can try CXTPEdit class instead - it catch keys before MFC translate them.

Actually I don't want to use CXTPEdit cause all edit fields in the docking panes dialogs are using DDX_Control and normal CStrings to store/retrieve data.

Any other suggestions how to get copy paste working in there?

Hi,

CXTPEdit is CEdit deriverd class so same DDX_Control/String thigs work for it.

Yes, I'm aware that CXTPEdit is a CEdit derived class. Acutally I wasn't correct in writing DDX_Control, I meant the DDX mechanism, using DDX_Text in this case to set/retrieve CStrings.

Of course I could add CXTPEdit members for every edit box and use DDX_Control, but then I have to update/set every associated CString manually.

Hi,

you can have both DDX_Text and DDX_Control without problem for same Edit

Have tried CXTPEdit now. Doesn't seem to work as suggested.
And...

void CAccountingViewTransaction::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
CFormView::DoDataExchange(pDX);
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_REFERENCE, m_strReference);
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_REFERENCE, m_wndReference);
}

where m_strReference (CString) is used and m_wndReference (CXTPEdit) is a dummy -

... doesn't work, too.

So, still not solved.

Hi,

yes, seems CXTPEdit also doesn't catch these keys automatically.

here simple class for you:

class CMyEdit : public CEdit

{

BOOL PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)

{

if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && IsDialogMessage(pMsg))

return TRUE;

return CEdit::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);

}

};

...

CMyEdit m_wndEdit;

Yepp, that's working. Should be added to CXTPEdit.
Thanx!
