Navigation between dialog boxes

Question

Hi

I have a dialog displaying a few parameters and on pressing any key i need to move to the next dialog  say dialog-1. 

Then I have the dialog box-1 which has few buttons. Each button should lead me to the respective custom dialogs.

Then I need to return to the dialog box-1 from these custom dialogs when I press the back key.

How do I go about implementing these navigations?

Note- Am not using any preexisting dialog boxes.

Hey I figured out partially navigation implementations here..

When You have to move from one dialog to the other say D1 to D2 on pressing any key,follow the steps:

1)Create a class for the new dialog ie D2 with the base class as CDialog.
2)Next add a member variable to the D1 class - of the type D2 class and give the access as private.(say m_dialog2)
3)Next on the message WM_KEYDOWN add a function and add the following code:

void CD1::OnButton()
{
 // TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
 
if(m_dialog2.DoModal()==IDOK)
  UpdateData(FALSE);
 
 CDialog::OnKeyDown(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}

For the above code only Enter and Space key are active.If i press any other key like the alphabets or numbers the navigation is not happening.. How do I go about this?
How do i implement the back key navigation?

This sort of thing may work for your application as well:
