Uhh, this is the output of spy++ under win2000, which corresponds to the
broken TAB response in Agent:


| <00201> 00030218 P WM_KEYDOWN nVirtKey:VK_TAB cRepeat:1 ScanCode:0F fExtended:0 fAltDown:0 fRepeat:0 fUp:0 [wParam:00000009 lParam:000F0001 time:4:47:52.206]

(00030218 is the hwnd of the editcontrol). In my previous email there
where two other examples where windows did not return the
DLGC_WANTMESSAGE flag. If I did not mention it then: that was with
Win2K.

Nice for a parameter that is not supposed to be used ;-) 
Anyway I see that two of my cases have a non NULL wparam , but still
don't return DLGC_WANTMESSAGE.

Perhaps you can put a small example on the net that is giving you the
problems?
