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:
- Create a modeless dialog box. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
103788 Creating a Modeless Dialog Box with MFC Libraries
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; }- 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.
