Sorry to beat this to death, but I too have been having trouble getting my edit control window to skip to the next line. I have tried the solution of subclassing the edit control and processing the WM_KEYDOWN message. This has worked for me in translating the <TAB> to a <CNTRL>-<TAB> and thus getting a tab to appear in the control, but it does NOT work when I try to capture the VK_RETURN. In fact, the <CNTRL>-<ENTER> sequence isn't successful for me either; I checked the messages generated using SPY, and it seems that I cannot generate a WM_KEYDOWN message with VK_RETURN key while holding down the <CNTRL> key. In fact, as soon as I press the <ENTER> key, the stream of messages generated by holding down the <CNTRL> key (repeated WM_GETDLGCODE, WM_KEYDOWN messages) stops. Currently the only way for me to get to the next line in the edit control is <CNTRL>-J. Any ideas as to what may be going wrong? Thanks in advance.
