Setting tabstops in an OCX control?

I have created an OCX control using the CDK with MSVC 1.52c.  The control 
creates several child CEdit windows and I want to be able to tab between 
them using the the TAB key.  I create the windows using CEdit.Create(..) 
with a WS_TABSTOP style but the tab key moves focus to the next control 
outside my OCX.  How can I trap the tab and set the focus to the next CEdit 
in my control?

Thanks!

Windows 3.x does not handle nested dialogs (which is essentially what you're 
creating here) properly. You will need to have your OLE control trap the 
WM_KEYDOWN messages for itself, in an override of PreTranslateMessage. When 
you detect the Tab (or Shift+Tab) key, set the focus appropriately.
