How do you prevent a MFC dialog from exiting when the return key is hit? I have an edit box, I can type in changes OK But if I hit the return key, the dialog exits.

[edit]I think the OP means 'exit' not 'exist'[/edit]

What does it mean and why?

Are you perhaps trying to say that you want the Return key to call the OnOk() method by default? I think it does that already right? Post what you have done till now. People will be able to help you better then.

Normal action for the return key is to action the Default button of the dialog, which is usually the OK button. See Espen Harlinn's answer below for solution.
