Points to an EXTPAINTSTRUC structure.

StartType

Comments

The export ordinal for this function is 4.

WINOLDAP calls the KeySelection function whenever the user presses an arrow key or a SHIFT+arrow key combination. If an arrow key is pressed, the function moves the current start point left, right, up, or down as specified by the Mfunc parameter. If a SHIFT+arrow key combination is pressed, the function moves the current end point in the specified direction.

The amount the function moves the point depends on the display mode. In text mode, the function moves by the width and height of the current font. In graphics mode, the function moves by a width and height that is reasonable for the given display.KeySelection does not update the EXTPAINTSTRUC structure. Instead, WINOLDAP calls either the BeginSelection or MakeSelctRect function and passes it the new point.
