I want to process directional arrow keys when a dialog box has the focus.

1) When does windows send a WM_GETDLGCODE message?

2) If I return DLGC_WANTARROWS, will windows subsequently send WM_KEYDOWN
messages to my dialog function?

3) Is there a way to process keystrokes if a dialog control has the
input focus?
