F10 key

[james klutho]

I am writing a straight forward SDK app which uses Fkeys and
a menu bar. My problem is that the operating system,Win 98
in this case, is processing the F10 key stroke (highlights first
menu) before I can get my hands on the F10 key stroke event.
I use no accelerators. I am baffled.

I can not find any documentation on this behavoir. Any help?

It's a system shortcut, so it should be possible to trap it under
%WM_SYSKEYDOWN, something like:

  CASE %WM_SYSKEYDOWN
     IF wParam = %VK_F10 THEN
        FUNCTION = 0 : EXIT FUNCTION
     END IF

F4 is open the combo
F6 is switching MDI childs

I recommend to leave this keys alone.
Choose another one..
