IOleInPlaceActiveObject::TranslateAccelerator

Processes menu accelerator-key messages from the container's message queue. This method should only be used for objects created by a DLL object application.

HRESULT TranslateAccelerator(
  LPMSG lpmsg  //Pointer to message that may need translating
);

Parameter

lpmsg: [in] Pointer to the message that might need to be translated.

Return Values

This method supports the standard return values E_INVALIDARG, E_OUTOFMEMORY, and E_UNEXPECTED, as well as the following:

S_OK: The message was translated successfully.
S_FALSE: The message was not translated.

Remarks

Notes to Callers

Active in-place objects must always be given the first chance at translating accelerator keystrokes. You can provide this opportunity by calling IOleInPlaceActiveObject::TranslateAccelerator from your container's message loop before doing any other translation. You should apply your own translation only when this method returns S_FALSE.

If you call IOleInPlaceActiveObject::TranslateAccelerator for an object that is not created by a DLL object application, the default object handler returns S_FALSE.

Notes to Implementers

An object created by an EXE object application gets keystrokes from its own message pump, so the container does not get those messages.

If you need to implement this method, you can do so by simply wrapping the call to the Window's TranslateAccelerator function.
