I assume you created a dialog template and placed it in the dialog bar,
correct?
Yes, I am doing something quite a bit more complex. I have an MDI
application and have added the CSizingControlBar docking windows
(http://www.datamekanix.com/). This is a free class that derives from
CControlBar. I derived from CSizingControlBar to create a CDockingWnd class.
This class creates an instance of another simple CWnd class called
CDockingPane, which is used for the client area of the docking window.
CDockingPane, in turn, creates an instance of yet another class that derives
from CTabCtrl. The class derived from CTabCtrl maintains child dialog
windows that are displayed depending on which tab is selected.
So I guess it isn't technically a CDialogBar. I added the code described in
Q117500 and my accelerator keys now work when one of the child dialog box
has the focus. But the Alt+menu keys do not work when the dialog box has the
focus.
One interesting thing I just tried: if I click on my tab control so that the
tab retains the focus, the Alt+menu keys DO work! But, again, they do not
work when the child dialog box has control.
I'm just not sure where to go from here.
