TranslateMDISysAccel

3.0

BOOL TranslateMDISysAccel(hwndClient, lpmsg)
HWND hwndClient;	/* handle of parent MDI client window	*/
MSG FAR* lpmsg;	/* address of structure with message data	*/

The TranslateMDISysAccel function processes accelerator keystrokes for the given multiple document interface (MDI) child window. The function translates WM_KEYUP and WM_KEYDOWN messages to WM_SYSCOMMAND messages.

Parameters

hwndClient

Identifies the parent MDI client window.

lpmsg

Points to an MSG structure retrieved by a call to the GetMessage or PeekMessage function. The structure contains message information from the application's message queue. The MSG structure has the following form:

typedef struct tagMSG {     /* msg */
    HWND   hwnd;
    UINT   message;
    WPARAM wParam;
    LPARAM lParam;
    DWORD  time;
    POINT  pt;
} MSG;

For a full description of this structure, see the Microsoft Windows Programmer's Reference, Volume 3.

Return Value

The return value is nonzero if the function is successful. Otherwise, it is zero.

Comments

The high-order word of the lParam parameter of the WM_SYSCOMMAND message contains the value 1, to differentiate the message from messages sent by menus or controls.
