There is a way, silly of me to send a reply without full info, but I in the middle of
somethings. The basic (from the top of my head) is that you need to call a a function
before TranslateMessage().
Okey, I surrender, I have to take the time to do this right. I't like this:
for( ;; )
{
// GetMessage returns zero only when WM_QUIT occurs
if( !GetMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0 ) )
break;
if( m_hModeless && IsDialogMessage( m_hModeless, &msg ) )
continue;
// Translate and dispatch message
TranslateMessage( &msg );
DispatchMessage( &msg );
}
This is the message loop. The new thing is IsDialogMessage that must be called for the
currently active modeless dialog.
Set m_hModeless to the Dialog hWnd when we get WM_ACTIVATE=true and set it to NULL
when WM_ACTIVATE=false. WM_ACTIVATE recived at the modeless dialog that is.
This works, and solved the exact same problem for a friend of mine.
