Edit Control on View not getting Del key

Hello all,

I'm using VC1.51 through Win95 and Win3.1 with
access to MSDN.

I have an edit control placed on the screen
ready to edit some text. So I have;

  m_pEdit = new CMyEdit();
  CRect rect= CRect(100,500,300,520);     
  m_pEdit->Create(WS_CHILD | WS_EX_TRANSPARENT| ES_CENTER | ES_MULTILINE , rect, this, IDC_EDIT);


and then I trap messages through CMyEdit::OnKeyUp
where I can look for return etc.

Everything works fine until....

I press 'delete' which is then passed straight to
the OnEditClear menu entry which kindly deleted
the object I was editing!! Of course this is due
to the shortcut of 'Del'. 

The message stops there and is not passed down
to the edit control.

Have I made a mistake in;

        1. Subclassing the edit control

        2. Handling the CMyEdit messages

        3. Handling the keyboard shortcut on
the menu 

MSDN kindly gives me 880 topics to look through
none of which is any good.
 
What is the best book on actual 'proper
practical' programming examples that this kind of
thing will be in. 


Many thanks for your help.

I capture the backspace key in OnKeyDown (which also clears the selection by 
default) and my implementation (which sounds like yours) has no problems.  Your 
problem might be that you need to capture OnKeyDown instead of OnKeyUp.  Most of
the default behaviours happen on OnKeyDown, so, if you do something at OnKeyUp 
time, you've already missed your chance to do something different than the 
default.
