I have read in "Jones and Bartlett - Introduction to 80x86 Assembly Language and Computer Architecture" that "ESC" abbreviation stands for Extra Services Control, but most people says "escape". Bottom of the Page 20, though. Please do a research about this. 190.79.31.47 (talk) 17:52, 15 May 2008 (UTC) ParanoidE[reply]

Esc to cancel dialogs

At least for the MessageBox function, Esc is only documented e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms645505(VS.85).aspx to activate the Cancel button, if present, not the No or Abort buttons. In actual fact it seems to be able to cancel an OK-only dialog too, although in that case the return value is 1, as if OK was clicked. --80.175.250.220 (talk) 13:09, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
