Creating Accelerators for Font Attributes
The example in this section shows how to perform the following tasks:
- Create an accelerator-table resource.
- Load the accelerator table at run time.
- Translate accelerators in a message loop.
- Process WM_COMMAND messages generated by the accelerators.
These tasks are demonstrated in the context of an application that includes a
Character menu and corresponding accelerators that allow the user to select
attributes of the current font.
The following portion of a resource-definition file defines the Character menu
and the associated accelerator table. Note that the menu items show the
accelerator keystrokes and that each accelerator has the same identifier as its
associated menu item.
#include <windows.h>
#include "acc.h"
MainMenu MENU
BEGIN
POPUP "&Character"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "&Regular\tF5", IDM_REGULAR
MENUITEM "&Bold\tCtrl+B", IDM_BOLD
MENUITEM "&Italic\tCtrl+I", IDM_ITALIC
MENUITEM "&Underline\tCtrl+U", IDM_ULINE
END
END
FontAccel ACCELERATORS
BEGIN
VK_F5, IDM_REGULAR, VIRTKEY
"B", IDM_BOLD, CONTROL, VIRTKEY
"I", IDM_ITALIC, CONTROL, VIRTKEY
"U", IDM_ULINE, CONTROL, VIRTKEY
END
The following sections from the application's source file show how to
implement the accelerators.
