keyboard shortcuts for CEdit

>>What doesn't work is if I have the edit control hilighted

When actually thats not working ? when your edit control have focus and text is selected ? As you said not working is Ctrl+C..so CUT ie Ctrl+X is working on your edit box ?

>>shortcut for cut and paste don't work either

When exactly you cannot use CUT, COPY , PASTE and under which situation same are working?

-MAHESH

yeah i can't do any of those (CUT, COPY , PASTE). via the KEYBOARD shortcuts.

Actually these are CEdits that I created myself on a CWnd - CEdits created by the wizard on a CDialog derived window are working fine. Is there a specific flag I need to set to get the keyboard shortcuts to work for them? Here's how I'm creating them:

CEdit m_Edit;
m_Edit.Create(WS_CHILD | WS_BORDER, CRect(0,0,23,100), this, SOME_RESOURCE_ID);

Thanks

you have standard dialog or MDI / SDI application with view ?

>>yes it's an MDI app.

Then follow guidelines here with CEdit::Copy(), CEdit::Cut(), CEdit::Paste()

ok I read the article, but what is the function defintiion that I should add to the header and message map for:

    OnUpdateNeedSel(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
    OnUpdateNeedClip(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)

I'm not sure how to add those and the article does not dicuss that.

Thanks

do you have your Edit controls on ForView ?

-MAHESH

well they're created on a CWnd derived class,

Thanks

Actually they are handler for ID_EDIT_COPY , ID_EDIT_CUT & ID_EDIT_PASTE

ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI (ID_EDIT_CUT, OnUpdateNeedSel)
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI (ID_EDIT_COPY, OnUpdateNeedSel)

-MAHESH
