IOleInPlaceFrame::TranslateAccelerator

Translates accelerator keystrokes intended for the container's frame while an object is active in place.

HRESULT TranslateAccelerator(

LPMSG lpmsg,
//Points to MSG structure
WORD wID
//Command Identifier value
);

Parameters

lpmsg

[in] Points to an MSG structure containing the keystroke message.

wID

[in] Contains the command identifier value corresponding to the keystroke in the container-provided accelerator table. Containers should use this value instead of translating again.

Return Values

S_OK

The keystroke was used.

S_FALSE

The keystroke was not used.

E_INVALIDARG

One or more arguments are invalid.

E_UNEXPECTED

An unexpected error occurred.

Comments

Notes to Callers

The IOleInPlaceFrame::TranslateAccelerator method is called indirectly by OleTranslateAccelerator when a keystroke accelerator intended for the container (frame) is received.

Notes to Implementors

The container application should perform its usual accelerator processing, or use wID directly, and then return, indicating whether the keystroke accelerator was processed. If the container is an MDI application and the Windows TranslateAccelerator call fails, the container can call the Windows TranslateMDISysAccel function, just as it does for its usual message processing.

In-place objects should be given first chance at translating accelerator messages. However, because objects implemented by DLL object applications do not have their own message pump, they receive their messages from the container's message queue. To ensure that the object has first chance at translating messages, a container should always call IOleInPlaceActiveObject::TranslateAccelerator before doing its own accelerator translation. Conversely, an executable object application should call OleTranslateAccelerator after calling TranslateAccelerator, calling TranslateMessage and DispatchMessage only if both translation functions fail.

Note You should define accelerator tables for containers so they will work properly with object applications that do their own accelerator keystroke translations. Tables should be defined as follows:

"char", wID, VIRTKEY, CONTROL

This is the most common way to describe keyboard accelerators. Failure to do so can result in keystrokes being lost or sent to the wrong object during an in-place session.

Nostalgia .Net     Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes.  More »
