Taking a default MFC based single dialog appplication, I’m trying to prevent the default behaviour where the Escape or Enter key will cause the dialog to close.

The Load button opens the documents folder and you select an image from the documents. The Show button displays vertical and horizontal scrolls, as well as an image. If the dialog box is larger than the image, then scrolls are not needed and will not be displayed. The problem is that the horizontal scroll behaves like a vertical one (that is, scroll up and down instead of scrolling left and right). And the vertical one lags, and sometimes does not scroll at all.

I started a new project in Visual Studio community latest 17.10 version with the wizard
selected MFC headers as part of the setup.
I downloaded many of the MFC configuration for the latest visual studio 2022 MFC 143 version of all the tool kits under MFC
There is a selection of MFC environmens for each of the visual studio versions and x86 or arm version

I found a copy of the afx.h file in the visual studio downloads and installation.
All the different build files too.
I first want to get the MFC to load the simple project as an exe so I can see if MFC works
