Well, I've been having some trouble getting the login dialog box working for
my cli.  The problem is that the edit controls do not send any messages when
I strike the enter or the tab key.  Am I setting up the styles incorrectly?

The following is a code clip from a .dlg file produced by Dialog.exe:


LOGIN DIALOG LOADONCALL MOVEABLE DISCARDABLE 11, 19, 136, 72
STYLE WS_DLGFRAME | WS_VISIBLE | WS_POPUP
BEGIN
    CONTROL "", 100, "edit", ES_LEFT | WS_BORDER | WS_TABSTOP | WS_CHILD | WS_GROUP, 56, 9, 72, 12
    CONTROL "", 106, "edit", ES_LEFT | ES_PASSWORD | WS_BORDER | WS_TABSTOP | WS_CHILD, 56, 24, 72, 12
    CONTROL "User ID", -1, "static", SS_RIGHT | WS_CHILD, 17, 11, 35, 8
    CONTROL "Password", -1, "static", SS_RIGHT | WS_CHILD, 17, 26, 35, 8
    CONTROL SHELLICON, -1, "static", SS_ICON | WS_CHILD, 6, 7, 16, 16
    CONTROL "LOGIN", 107, "button", BS_PUSHBUTTON | WS_TABSTOP | WS_CHILD, 55, 43, 29, 23
END

my dialog box function looks as follows:


BOOL FAR PASCAL	LoginProc( HWND hDlg, unsigned messg, WORD wParam, LONG lParam )
{	
	switch(messg)
	{	case WM_INITDIALOG:
			return FALSE;		
			break;

		case WM_COMMAND:
			switch (wParam)
			{	case IDOK:
				case IDC_LOGIN:
					DestroyWindow( hDlg );
					break;

				default:
					return FALSE;
			}
			break;

		default:
			return FALSE;
	}
	return TRUE;
}

So just what am I doing wrong here?  I pound on my enter and tab keys until
the springs threaten to break of, but nothing happens.  No messages are sent
to my dialog function.  (Boldface on)NO(Boldface off) messages are sent at
all!

Help!
