Send Feedback

This message is posted to the window with the keyboard focus when a nonsystem key is released. A nonsystem key is a key that is pressed when the ALT key is not pressed, or a keyboard key that is pressed when a window has the keyboard focus.

WM_KEYUP nVirtKey = (int)wParam;lKeyData = lParam;

Parameters

  • nVirtKey
    Specifies the virtual-key code of the nonsystem key.
  • lKeyData
    Specifies the repeat count, context code, previous key-state flag, and transition-state flag, as shown in the following table.
    Value Description
    0–15 Specifies the repeat count. The value is the number of times the keystroke is repeated as a result of the user holding down the key.
    16-23 Specifies the scan code. This value depends on the original equipment manufacturer.
    29 Specifies the context code. The value is 1 if the ALT key is held down while the key is pressed; otherwise, the value is 0.
    30 Specifies the previous key state. The value is 1 if the key is down before the message is sent, or it is 0 if the key is up.
    31 Specifies the transition state. The value is 1 if the key is being released, or it is 0 if the key is being pressed.

Return Values

An application should return zero if it processes this message.

  • Default Action
    The DefWindowProc function sends a WM_SYSCOMMAND message to the top-level window if the F10 key or the ALT key was released. The wParam parameter of the message is set to SC_KEYMENU.

Other keyboards may support the extended-key bit in the lKeyData parameter.
