Remarks

When the window is owned, it will pass certain classes of messages to the owning window (such as keyboard and mouse events). In this case, the Win32 PostMessage function is used to post messages to any window specified by hwndDrain which is set in CBaseControlWindow::put_MessageDrain.

If a certain message cannot be posted, this message will return FALSE.

WM_CHAR WM_DEADCHAR
