I have a dialog, it has 4 CEdit controls and 9 CButton(number 0 ~ 9), I want press the number button, then the input focus in CEdit control don't move and input the number into the CEdit controls， any advice？
You can react on the KillFocus-event of the edit control and store which edit was active. In the click-event of the button you set the focus back to the control and append the pressed number to the edit text.

Win32/C++. I have a multiline edit control and a pushbutton that I've made default with DM_SETDEFID. When I hit enter with focus on the edit, I want the focus to stay there instead of moving to the pushbutton.
The edit control should have ES_WANTRETURN style to change behavior to desired:
Specifies that a carriage return be inserted when the user presses the
ENTER key while entering text into a multiline edit control in a
dialog box. If you do not specify this style, pressing the ENTER key
has the same effect as pressing the dialog box's default push button.
This style has no effect on a single-line edit control.
To change this style after the control has been created, use
SetWindowLong.
I have 2 TextEdit boxes and 5 buttons that are arranged in linear order.
The focus should be on the first TextEdit box when the program is started.
When tab key is pressed it should change the focus to the next widget.
Actually when a tab key is pressed the tab space is entered inside the TextEdit box. instead of moving to the next box. I also cannot use LineEdit Box because the input needs to be displayed in multiple lines. anyway the input wont contain enter key or '\n'
To change the behaviour of tab key you should look here:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qplaintextedit.html#tabChangesFocus-prop
bool tabChangesFocus() const
void setTabChangesFocus(bool b)
When using a MFC ribbon based application, by default we get options to add keyboard short cuts for all our commands. So for example, I might use 'p' to bring up the print preview dialog. When I'm in a dialog, these commands are not active as you would expect, even if that dialog is not modal. However, if I click into an edit control on the ribbon these commands remain active, so for the example given I could not type 'p' into my edit control. A work-around is to add a modifier such as Ctrl + P or Shift + P but this makes the shortcut more awkward for my users. Is it possible to change the message filter either for the ribbon as a whole, or for individual ribbon controls, such that they ignore keyboard shortcuts the same way a dialog does?
Edit Some feedback here from related thread on MSDN
The title isn't very explicit but here is my problem :
I have a MFC-based application with a dialog that has :
1 Text input;
1 Ok button;
1 cancel button;
1 button with an arrow to type in the next value
When the text box has the focus, pushing enter triggers the OK button. Why ? The text box has the focus, not the OK button so why would it do that ?
What i need ito to redirect the enter key to the arrow button instead of the ok button so that pushing enter doesn't close the dialog but goes to the next input.
Why can i do that please ? If i use SetFocus on the arrow button, the text box loses the focus, as expected, and this is not what i want.
You must set the Multiline and the Want Return properties of your edit control to True.
If an edit control does not have the style ES_WANTRETURN pressing ENTER has the same effect as pushing the dialog's default button. However, this style has no effect on single line controls, so you must also set the ES_MULTILINE style for the control.
I have a dialog box (CDialog) with owner-drawn CTabCtrl in it. Tabs content are child dialogs (one for each tab). There is an CEdit in each tab. When the user clicks a tab, I'm hiding all child dialogs using ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) and showing a selected one.
The problem is that when I have, for example, two tabs, click inside an edit box in the first tab and then switch to second, input focus stays on that (invisible) edit box in the first tab no matter what I do in my code (tried calling all methods that potentially can set focus, nothing changed).
Try this:
GetDlgItem(IDC_YOURCONTROL)->SetFocus();
Or the related variable linked with the control:
m_YOURCONTROLControl.SetFocus();
