MDI child not being activated

Environment : VC++ 1.52c, Win 95 B

I've got an mdi app which uses a CFormView with some wierd behavior. If =
I've got 2 CFormView mdi children up (tiled), I can activate each one by =
ctrl-tabbing between them or clicking on most anywhere on each of the =
forms. I get an OnMDIActivate in my derived CMDIChildWnd class and the =
child's title bar shows that it is activated. However, if I click on a =
form's edit box in an attempt to change the active child window, the =
edit box gets the input focus (caret and all), but I get no =
OnMDIActivate in my CMDIChildWnd class nor does the child's title bar =
reflect activation.

Anyone have any clue what might cause this?

Jeff:
I am also using VC++1.52 on Win 95 and tried the same thing on one of my
apps.
When I have 2 tiled MDI children.  If I click on an edit control it doesn't
activate the
child.  But if I click on a radio button or any other control, it does.  I
have no idea
what causes it but I get the same problem.

I have noticed this problem with Rich Edit Controls and Tree Controls.

For Edit Controls I overrode the OnCommand function in my form view.
Here it is

BOOL CDataView::OnCommand(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) 
{
	if( HIWORD(wParam) == EN_SETFOCUS )
	{
			((CMDIChildWnd*)(GetParentFrame()))->GetMDIFrame()->MDIActivate(
GetParentFrame() );
	}

	return CFormView::OnCommand(wParam, lParam);
}
