  afx_msg void OnKeyDown( UINT  nChar, UINT  nRepCnt, UINT  nFlags  );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <nChar>     Specifies the virtual-key code of the given key.
 
  <nRepCnt>   Repeat count (the number of times the keystroke is repeated
              as a result of the user holding down the key).
 
  <nFlags>    Specifies the scan code, key-transition code, previous key
              state, and context code, as shown in the following list:
 
              Value   Description
 
              0-7     Scan code (OEM-dependent value).
 
              8       Extended key, such as a function key or a key on the
                      numeric keypad (1 if it is an extended key).
 
              9-10    Not used.
 
              11-12   Used internally by Windows.
 
              13      Context code (1 if the ALT key is held down while
                      the key is pressed, 0 otherwise).
 
              14      Previous key state (1 if the key is down before the
                      call, 0 if the key is up).
 
              15      Transition state (1 if the key is being released, 0
                      if the key is being pressed).
 
              For a WM_KEYDOWN message, the key-transition bit (bit 15) is
              0 and the context-code bit (bit 13) is 0.
 
  Remarks
 
  Called when a nonsystem key is pressed. A nonsystem key is a keyboard
  key that is pressed when the ALT key is not pressed, or a keyboard key
  that is pressed when CWnd has the input focus.
 
  Because of auto-repeat, more than one OnKeyDown call may occur before an
  ◄OnKeyUp► member function call is made. The bit indicating the previous
  key state can be used to determine whether the OnKeyDown call indicates
  the first down transition or a repeated down transition.
 
  For IBM Enhanced 101- and 102-key keyboards, enhanced keys are the right
  ALT and the right CONTROL keys on the main section of the keyboard; the
  INSERT, DELETE, HOME, END, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, and ARROW keys in the
  clusters to the left of the numeric keypad; and the slash (/) and ENTER
  keys in the numeric keypad. Some other keyboards may support the
  extended-key bit in <nFlags>.
 
  This message-handler member function calls the ◄Default► member
  function. Override this member function in your derived class to handle
  the ◄WM_KEYDOWN► message.
