Re: How to determine whether the ALT-key is pressed
Hi,
I am not terribly sure why Alt key doesn't work in OnKeyDown(), but try =
PretranslateMessage.
It might be a dialog thing.
BOOL CMuasDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
if(pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)
{
UINT nChar = (UINT)pMsg->wParam;
UINT nRepCnt = (UINT)pMsg->lParam & 0xFF00;
UINT nFlags = (UINT)pMsg->lParam >> 16;
OnKeyDown(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
return TRUE;
}
......
}
Check if the ALT key it is there before implementing all of the above
Also, you may want to check out WM_SYSKEYDOWN and WM_SYSCHAR

One of those should work.

Dear all,
in the function
void CMausDlg::OnKeyDown(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
from nFlags one should be able to determine if the ALT key is pressed. =
I've
tried with many options without success. Could you please give me an =
example
on this? Many thanks in advance!
