SUMMARY
=======
To use accelerators with a modeless dialog box, override the
PreTranslateMessage()function in your derived CDialog class.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To use accelerators with your modeless dialog box, perform the following steps:
1. Create a modeless dialog box. For additional information, please see the
following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q103788 Creating a Modeless Dialog Box with MFC Libraries
2. Insert this sample code into the files listed above the code:
// .h file with your derived CDialog class.
class CModeless : public CDialog
{
.
public:
virtual BOOL PreTranslateMessage(MSG*);
.
};
//.cpp file.
BOOL CModeless::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
HACCEL hAccel =
((CMainFrame*)AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd)->GetAccelTable();
if(!(hAccel &&
::TranslateAccelerator(AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd->m_hWnd, hAccel,
pMsg)))
return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
else
return TRUE;
}
// Mainfrm.h file, where CMainFrame is the main window class.
HACCEL CMainFrame::GetAccelTable() { return m_hAccelTable; }
3. Create the accelerators with App Studio, or with Resource View from the
Project Workspace in Visual C++ 32-bit Edition, version 4.0. The accelerators
should be in the IDR_MAINFRAME accelerator table. They should also have the
same ID as the controls or menu items with which they are associated.
