Edit Box problem with VS.Net 2005 Smartphone MFC Application

Hello.

I have installed the latest VS.NET and the WinCE 5.0 Smartphone SDK.
When I create a MFC application (Dialog Based) and put an Edit Box in the
Dialog, the back key does not change the behavior to deleting the
characters. Instead it closes the dialog.

I have tried changing some properties of the edit box but it didn't work.
How can I work around this?

Thanks,
Hezi Shahmoon.

you need to override the back key:
