To use accelerators with a modeless dialog box, override the
PreTranslateMessage()function in your derived CDialog class.
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:
103788 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/103788/EN-US/) 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. |
