ITfKeystrokeMgr::KeyUp method (msctf.h)

  • Article

Passes a key up event to the keystroke manager.

Syntax

HRESULT KeyUp(
  [in]  WPARAM wParam,
  [in]  LPARAM lParam,
  [out] BOOL   *pfEaten
);

Parameters

[in] wParam

Specifies the virtual-key code of the key. For more information about this parameter, see the wParam parameter in WM_KEYUP.

[in] lParam

Specifies the repeat count, scan code, extended-key flag, context code, previous key-state flag, and transition-state flag of the key. For more information about this parameter, see the lParam parameter in WM_KEYUP.

[out] pfEaten

Pointer to a BOOL that, on exit, indicates if the key event will be handled. If this value receives TRUE, the key event would be handled and the event should not be forwarded to the application. If this value is FALSE, the key event would not be handled and the event should be forwarded to the application.

Return value

This method can return one of these values.

Value Description
S_OK
 The method was successful.
S_FALSE
 No key event sinks are installed.
E_INVALIDARG
 One or more parameters are invalid.

Remarks

If this method is successful and pfEaten receives TRUE, the application should not process the key down event. If this method does not return S_OK or pfEaten receives FALSE, the application should process the key down event. The following is an example of how this is implemented.


if(msg.message == WM_KEYUP)
{
    if( pKeyboardMgr->TestKeyUp(msg.wParam, msg.lParam, &fEaten) == S_OK 
        && fEaten 
        && pKeyboardMgr->KeyUp(msg.wParam, msg.lParam, &fEaten) == S_OK 
        && fEaten)
    {
        //The key was handled by the keystroke manager or a TSF text service. Do not pass the key to the application. 
        continue;
    }
    else
    {
        //Let the application process the key. 
    }
}

If the keystroke manager does not handle the key event, it passes the key event to the text services by a call to the text service ITfKeyEventSink::OnKeyUp method.
