  <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.
