I added a handler for both the functions. &nbsp;When I press ALT-Up or ALT-DOWN I still get a bell.<br />

I have tried adding new &quot;accelerator tables&quot; through class wizard for both the CWnd and the main CDialog. &nbsp;I have even tried using a simple ALT-A sequence instead of ALT-DOWN, with no luck.<br />

I have tried adding new "accelerator tables" through class wizard for both the CWnd and the main CDialog.  I have even tried using a simple ALT-A sequence instead of ALT-DOWN, with no luck.

How can I add accelerator keys to a CDialog window?<br />
<br />
I want to be able to act upon a certain alt-key sequence (not associated with a control such as a button).<br />
<br />
I have created a new accelerator table with my values, but no WM_COMMAND is sent when I enter the sequence in the window (just a bell).<br />
