Thanks Bob,

That helped.
Could I ask your opinion on how to fix i? I wrote a DialogCls class as a
base for all my dialogs. It now has an EnableWindow function that checks for
disabling.

BOOL DialogCls::EnableWindow(HWND hWnd, bool enable)
{
 BOOL disabled = ::EnableWindow(hWnd, enable);
 if (!disabled && !enable && hWnd )
   SetFocus(GetParent(hWnd));
 return disabled;
}

This is what I used for enable/disabling controls.

Does it look sane to you? Is there a better way?

Thanks again,
Gary
