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?

Hi,

Override PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) for your dialogs and call CWnd::PreTranslateMessage instead of CDialog::PreTranslateMessage

Well done - you really know MFC

Hi Oleg,

FYI - to allow tabbing to work you must call CDialog::PreTranslateMessage for WM_KEYFIRST, WM_KEYDOWN, WM_KEYUP when wParam == VK_TAB.
