1. Using accelerators when a modeless dialog box is the main window

I'm writing a control panel that uses a modeless dialog box as its main
window.  Somehow I can't seem to trap the accelerator keys.  Here's the
beginning part:

case CPL_DBLCLK:
        CreateDialog(hinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_MAIN), hwndCPl,
(DLGPROC)DialogProc);
        hAccelTable = LoadAccelerators(hinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_ACCELERATOR));
        while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
        {
                if (!TranslateAccelerator(msg.hwnd, hAccelTable, &msg))
                {
                        TranslateMessage(&msg);
                        DispatchMessage(&msg);
                }
        }
        break;

Then in the DialogProc, I try to get the message:

switch(uMsg)
{
        .
        .
        case WM_COMMAND:
                switch(LOWORD(wParam))
                {
                        .
                        .
                        case IDM_MYMENUITEM:
                                MessageBox(GetFocus(), "Hello", "Test", MB_OK);
                                break;
                }
                break;

It doesn't work, though.  What am I missing?

Thanks,
