I've put an edit box on my application toolbar: now I don't know how to =
receive a notification from the edit box itself when the user put a =
value into it and press CR.

Any suggestion ?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but I do something 
similar to this.  I have a descendant of a rich edit control on a 
toolbar.  Then when the text changes I need to know.  So what I do is 
in my frame, which is the parent of  my toolbar, I call 
myEdit.SetOwner(this).  Now I will get notification messages of my 
edit control and my toolbar will still be the parent of the edit 
control.  Now I add OnNotify to my frame and trap for EN_CHANGE.  
Here is a snipit of my code.  I use EN_SELCHANGE because I  
have a rich edit.
BOOL CBrowserFrame::OnNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, LRESULT* pResult) 
{
	CString str;
	if ((((LPNMHDR)lParam)->code == EN_SELCHANGE) && 
		(m_bViewUpdate == TRUE))
	{

		m_RISEdit.GetRTFText(str);
		m_pBrowserView->ScrollToStr(&str);
		m_RISEdit.SetFocus();
	}
	return CMDIChildWnd::OnNotify(wParam, lParam, pResult);
}

Hope this helps.
