I am having a problem concerning getting a pointer to a control that is first on a dialogs tab order. I am trying to write a utility function that accepts an HWND and sets focus to that control. I would like to use something like FindNextControl, but that function is protected and not accessible in my utility function. Any ideas on what I can do here? I thought about creating a custom message to do this, then send that message to the dialog where I can then call FindNextControl to do the work, but that seems to be an unnecessary amount of work. Plus I don't want to have to write MessageMaps for all my dialogs to handle this message (I do have a base dialog class, but for some reason when I put the message map in there, the handler does not get called - I must put it in all my derived dialogs classes which would be a pain!!). Note that I have also tried to send a NextDlgCtrl to the dialog but that didn't work. Any help getting this to work, and/or why my base dialog message hanlder doesn't get called would be appreciated. - Bruce
