Esc in combobox on toolbar

I have a CToolBar in which I manually created a combobox.  The 
problem is that the standard keys such as Escape and Return do 
not cancel or accept the current selection in the combobox and 
return focus to the current view.  (It works in Microsoft Word 
:-)

This bug also exists in the CTRLBARS example in both VC 2.2 and 
4.0.

The brute force solution seems to be to put code in the 
mainframe to deal with the accelerators in a special fashion 
when the combobox has the focus, but if anyone has a better 
solution, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks,
Jim Beveridge

I subclassed the combo box of cause and I subclassed the edit box inside 
of the combo box. I returned DLGC_WANTALLKEYS when processing the 
WM_GETDLGCODE message in the edit box so that the edit box will recieve 
all the key strokes before they are translated according to the 
accelerator table. Then every thing worked just like WORD and EXCEL.
