CWnd::OnAppCommand

The framework calls this member function when the user generates an application command event. Such an event occurs when the user clicks an application command button or types an application command key.

afx_msg void OnAppCommand(
    CWnd* pWnd,
    UINT nCmd,
    UINT nDevice,
    UINT nKey
);

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.
