Creating the Accelerator Table

The first step in creating an accelerator table at run time is filling an array of ACCEL structures. Each structure in the array defines an accelerator in the table. An accelerator's definition includes its flags, its key, and its identifier. The ACCEL structure has the following form.

typedef struct tagACCEL { // accl

BYTE fVirt;

WORD key;

WORD cmd;

} ACCEL;

You define an accelerator's keystroke by specifying an ASCII character code or a virtual-key code in the key member of the ACCEL structure. If you specify a virtual-key code, you must first include the FVIRTKEY flag in the fVirt member; otherwise, Windows interprets the code as an ASCII character code. You can include the FCONTROL, FALT, or FSHIFT flag, or all three, to combine the CTRL, ALT, or SHIFT key with the keystroke.

To create the accelerator table, pass the address of the array of ACCEL structures to the CreateAcceleratorTable function. CreateAcceleratorTable creates the accelerator table and returns the handle of the table.
