CWnd::OnUniChar

  • Artikel

The framework calls this member function when a key is pressed. That is, the current window has the keyboard focus and a WM_KEYDOWN message is translated by the TranslateMessage function.

afx_msg void OnUniChar(
        UINT nChar, 
    UINT nRepCnt, 
    UINT nFlags
);

Parameters

Parameter

Description

[in] nChar

Specifies the character code of the pressed key.

[in] nRepCnt

Specifies the repeat count for the current message. The value is the number of times the keystroke is autorepeated as a result of the user holding down the key. If the keystroke is held long enough, multiple messages are sent. However, the repeat count is not cumulative.

[in] nFlags

Flags that specify the scan code, extended key, context code, previous key state, and transition state, as shown in the following table:

Flag

Meaning

0-7

Specifies the scan code. The value depends on the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).

8

Specifies an extended key, such as the right-hand ALT and CTRL keys that appear on an enhanced 101 or 102-key keyboard. The flag is 1 if the key is an extended key; otherwise, it is 0.

9-12

Used internally by Windows.

13

Specifies the context code. The flag is 1 if the ALT key is held down while the key is pressed; otherwise, the value is 0.

14

Specifies the previous key state. The flag is 1 if the key is down before the message is sent, or 0 if the key is up.

15

Specifies the transition state. The flag is 1 if the key is being released, or 0 if the key is being pressed.

Remarks

This method receives the WM_UNICHAR notification, which is described in the Windows SDK. The WM_UNICHAR message is designed to send or post Unicode characters to ANSI windows. It is equivalent to the WM_CHAR message, but uses Unicode Transformation Format-32 encoding (UTF-32), whereas the WM_CHAR message uses UTF-16.

Hinweis

This member function is called by the framework to allow your application to handle a Windows message. The parameters passed to your function reflect the parameters received by the framework when the message was received. If you call the base-class implementation of this function, that implementation will use the parameters originally passed with the message and not the parameters you supply to the function.

Requirements

Header: afxwin.h

This method is supported in Windows Vista and later.
