Bitmapped button functionality

Hello there,

I have an issue related to the usage of the bitmap enabled Dialog window. I have created a keyboard type layout and I wish to get the input through keyboard also. When I use the mouse, I am able to get the button(s) pressed and also all the buttons are working fine - the other images DEFAULT, SELECTED, DISABLED... all get loaded and work since I am using the function m_BtnBtn1Ctrl.LoadBitmaps. But then, any key pressed on keyboard and the corresponding character on the screen isn't able to do the same as I have been able to do it with clicking of the mouse (and using the Loadbitmaps() function).

I am using these 3 functions to achieve the same action and effect as that of using a mouse:

- LoadBitmap()
- SetBitmap()
- Invalidate()

But these don't seem to give the pressed button effect though internally they work. Can some one please help me with this?

Thanks and regards
Sayonee

    CString strTemp;
    if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)
    {
        if ( pMsg->wParam == 0x41 || pMsg->wParam == 0x61) //check for both 'a' and 'A'
            OnBtnBtn1();
        if (pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN || pMsg->wParam == VK_DELETE ||
            pMsg->wParam == VK_ESCAPE || pMsg->wParam == VK_TAB ||
            pMsg->wParam == VK_UP || pMsg->wParam == VK_DOWN || GetKeyState (VK_CONTROL))
            {
                ::TranslateMessage (pMsg);
                ::DispatchMessage (pMsg);
                return TRUE;                // DO NOT process further
            }
    }
    return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
