    A window can get keyboard messages, when it has the focus. Only one window at  a time can have the input focus.
    If the window is visible you can transfer the focus to a window in using SetFocus.

    Usually in a dialog windows sets the focus to the first control with the WS_TABSTOP style. Use WS_TABSTOP as a style. Use SetFocus in OnInitDialog and return with FALSE from OnInitDialog.
