This parameter can be one of the following values: Value Description SC_CLOSE Close CWnd. SC_HOTKEY Activate the CWnd associated with the application-specified hot key. SC_HSCROLL Scroll horizontally. SC_KEYMENU Retrieve a menu through a keystroke. SC_MAXIMIZE (or SC_ZOOM) Maximize CWnd. SC_MINIMIZE (or SC_ICON) Minimize CWnd. SC_MOUSEMENU Retrieve a menu through a mouse click. SC_MOVE Move CWnd. SC_NEXTWINDOW Move to the next window. SC_PREVWINDOW Move to the previous window. SC_RESTORE Checkpoint (save the previous coordinates). SC_SCREENSAVE Executes the screen-save application specified in the Desktop section of the Control Panel. SC_SIZE Size CWnd. SC_TASKLIST Executes or activates the CWnd Task Manager application. SC_VSCROLL Scroll vertically. <lParam> Contains the cursor coordinates if a Control-menu command is chosen with the mouse. The low-order word contains the x-coordinate, and the high-order word contains the y-coordinate. Otherwise, this parameter is not used. Remarks Called when the user selects a command from the Control menu or when the user selects the Maximize or Minimize button. This message-handler member function calls the ◄Default► member function. Override this member function in your derived class to handle the ◄WM_SYSCOMMAND► message. By default, OnSysCommand carries out the Control-menu request for the predefined actions specified above. Applications that modify the Control menu must process WM_SYSCOMMAND messages, and any WM_SYSCOMMAND messages not handled by the application must be passed on to OnSysCommand. Any command values added by an application must be processed by the application and cannot be passed to OnSysCommand. An application can carry out any system command at any time by passing a WM_SYSCOMMAND message to OnSysCommand. Access (sometimes called "accelerator") keystrokes that are defined to select items from the Control menu are translated into OnSysCommand calls; all other access keystrokes are translated into ◄WM_COMMAND► messages.
