1. tab control in *dialog* boxes

Hello everyone,
I'm sure you've probably been through this before, but I'll tell you my
problem anyway. I'm trying to make an *imitation* dialog box for a windows
prog., mainly because after looking at the WIN32API.HLP definitions, making
the *real* thing looks like the stuff of gods and fools  .
How can I catch the fact that the TAB key has been pressed from within an
edit control? (so that I can move from one control to another).  I've tried
with wm_keydown, wm_char, and en_change and en_update from within
wm_command, but have had no luck.
I don't know if David has added feature this to his excellent win32lib,
but it wouldn't help me as I have had to write my own lib anyway.( I
needed more control over window styles etc.).

Any help that David or any others could offer would be greatly appreciated.

All the best for now.

Terry
