WM_KEYUP
The WM_KEYUP message is posted to the window with the keyboard focus when a
nonsystem key is released. A nonsystem key is a key that is pressed when the ALT key is not pressed, or a keyboard key that is pressed when a window has the keyboard
focus.
WM_KEYUP
nVirtKey = (int) wParam; // virtual-key code
lKeyData = lParam; // key data
Parameters
nVirtKey
Value of wParam. Specifies the virtual-key code of the nonsystem key.
lKeyData
Value of lParam. Specifies the repeat count, scan code, extended-key flag, context code,
previous key-state flag, and transition-state flag, as shown in the following
table:
Value
| Description
| 0 15
| Specifies the repeat count. The value is the number of times the keystroke is
repeated as a result of the user holding down the key. The repeat count is
always one for a WM_KEYUP message.
| 1623
| Specifies the scan code. The value depends on the original equipment
manufacturer (OEM).
| 24
| Specifies whether the key is an extended key, such as the right-hand ALT and CTRL keys that appear on an enhanced 101- or 102-key keyboard. The value is 1 if
it is an extended key; otherwise, it is 0.
| 2528
| Reserved; do not use.
| 29
| Specifies the context code. The value is always 0 for a WM_KEYUP message.
| 30
| Specifies the previous key state. The value is always 1 for a WM_KEYUP message.
| 31
| Specifies the transition state. The value is always 1 for a WM_KEYUP message.

Return Values
An application should return zero if it processes this message.
Default Action
The DefWindowProc function sends a WM_SYSCOMMAND message to the top-level window if the F10 key or the ALT key was released. The wParam parameter of the message is set to SC_KEYMENU.
Remarks
For enhanced 101- and 102-key keyboards, extended keys are the right ALT and CTRL keys on the main section of the keyboard; the INS, DEL, HOME, END, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN and arrow keys in the clusters to the left of the numeric keypad; and the
divide (/) and ENTER keys in the numeric keypad. Other keyboards may support the extended-key bit
in the lKeyData parameter.
