Hello fellow Windowers:

Two questions for you today:

1)
I have a modal dialog box that contains a multiline edit control and 
some buttons.
The problem I am facing is that when I tab to the edit control, the text
is selected. Is there any way to set the selection off in multiline 
edit controls?

2)
I have a modal dialog box that contains a static window and a scroll bar.
I want to scroll my own text. The arrow key messages only come to me when 
the key is released (WM_KEYUP). PAGE-UP and PAGE-DOWN return WM_KEYDOWN!
What is going on here? How can I get WM_KEYDOWN for the arrow keys?
