CWnd::OnSysCommand
The framework calls this member function when the user selects a command from the Control menu, or when the user selects the Maximize or the Minimize button.
afx_msg void OnSysCommand(
UINT nID,
LPARAM lParam
);
Parameters
nID
Specifies the type of system command requested. This parameter can be any one of the following values:SC_CLOSE Close the CWnd object.
SC_HOTKEY Activate the CWnd object associated with the application-specified hot key. The low-order word of lParam identifies the HWND of the window to activate.
SC_HSCROLL Scroll horizontally.
SC_KEYMENU Retrieve a menu through a keystroke.
SC_MAXIMIZE (or SC_ZOOM) Maximize the CWnd object.
SC_MINIMIZE (or SC_ICON) Minimize the CWnd object.
SC_MOUSEMENU Retrieve a menu through a mouse click.
SC_MOVE Move the CWnd object.
SC_NEXTWINDOW Move to the next window.
SC_PREVWINDOW Move to the previous window.
SC_RESTORE Restore window to normal position and size.
SC_SCREENSAVE Executes the screen-saver application specified in the [boot] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.
SC_SIZE Size the CWnd object.
SC_TASKLIST Execute or activate the Windows Task Manager application.
SC_VSCROLL Scroll vertically.
lParam
If a Control-menu command is chosen with the mouse, lParam contains the cursor coordinates. The low-order word contains the x coordinate, and the high-order word contains the y coordinate. Otherwise this parameter is not used.SC_HOTKEY Activate the window associated with the application-specified hot key. The low-order word of lParam identifies the window to activate.
SC_SCREENSAVE Execute the screen-save application specified in the Desktop section of Control Panel.
Remarks
By default, OnSysCommand carries out the Control-menu request for the predefined actions specified in the preceding table.
In WM_SYSCOMMAND messages, the four low-order bits of the nID parameter are used internally by Windows. When an application tests the value of nID, it must combine the value 0xFFF0 with the nID value by using the bitwise-AND operator to obtain the correct result.
The menu items in a Control menu can be modified with the GetSystemMenu, AppendMenu, InsertMenu, and ModifyMenu member functions. Applications that modify the Control menu must process WM_SYSCOMMAND messages, and any WM_SYSCOMMAND messages not handled by the application must be passed on to OnSysCommand. Any command values added by an application must be processed by the application and cannot be passed to OnSysCommand.
An application can carry out any system command at any time by passing a WM_SYSCOMMAND message to OnSysCommand.
Accelerator (shortcut) keystrokes that are defined to select items from the Control menu are translated into OnSysCommand calls; all other accelerator keystrokes are translated into WM_COMMAND messages.
Note
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.
