eyDown Event(Problem in detecting "SHIFT + 1")
 

Hi friends,

I working with MFC and i am a beginner also,
I am Trying to validate an editbox (which take a phone number as input with starting character '+' should be allowed if user wishes).
i am not able to block special characters(!,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,(,))

Please help me to solve this problem. :confused:

you need to sub class the CEdit class and have your own event handler for the keypress / keydown event and then handle the characters accordingly. Also if you wish you can validate in the lost focus event there.

Ok i tried out this logic and it works, but one problem, this nChar Param in OnKeyDown always showing the Capital letter Ascii only. any solution for that

That should not be the case unless you have caps lock on.
