ACCEL

The ACCEL structure defines an accelerator key used in an accelerator table.

typedef struct tagACCEL { // accl 
    BYTE   fVirt; 
    WORD   key; 
    WORD   cmd; 
} ACCEL; 
 

Members

fVirt

Specifies the accelerator flags. This member can be a combination of the following values:

Value	Meaning
FALT	The alt key must be held down when the accelerator key is pressed.
FCONTROL	The ctrl key must be held down when the accelerator key is pressed.
FNOINVERT	Specifies that no top-level menu item is highlighted when the accelerator is used. If this flag is not specified, a top-level menu item will be highlighted, if possible, when the accelerator is used.
FSHIFT	The shift key must be held down when the accelerator key is pressed.
FVIRTKEY	The key member specifies a virtual-key code. If this flag is not specified, key is assumed to specify an ASCII character code.

key

Specifies the accelerator key. This member can be either a virtual-key code or an ASCII character code.

cmd

Specifies the accelerator identifier. This value is placed in the low-order word of the wParam parameter of the WM_COMMAND or WM_SYSCOMMAND message when the accelerator is pressed.
