Calling the TranslateAccelerator Function
To process accelerators, an application's (or thread's) message loop must
contain a call to the TranslateAccelerator function. TranslateAccelerator compares keystrokes to an accelerator table and, if it finds a match,
translates the keystrokes into a WM_COMMAND (or WM_SYSCOMMAND) message. The function then sends the message to a window procedure. The
parameters of the TranslateAccelerator function include the handle of the window that is to receive the WM_COMMAND
messages, the handle of the accelerator table used to translate accelerators,
and a pointer to an MSG structure containing a message from the queue. The following example shows
how to call TranslateAccelerator from within a message loop.
while (GetMessage(&msg, (HWND) NULL, 0, 0)) {
/* Check for accelerator keystrokes. */
if (!TranslateAccelerator(
hwndMain, /* handle of receiving window */
haccel, /* handle of active accel. table */
&msg)) { /* address of message data */
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
