Hi all, How can i know that the user has pressed ALT+F4 key combination . Thanks in advance.

Hi, for example in PreTranslateMessage :

if (msg->message == WM_KEYDOWN)
{
if(msg->wParam == VK_F4 && GetKeyState(VK_LMENU)<0)
{
//--> ALT+F4 pressed
}

}

I hope it works ;)

You want it to work only if the Left Alt is pressed? I would rather suggest VK_MENU instead of VK_LMENU. Moreover, I doubt if this would ever work!

Handle WM_CLOSE and place the following code in it:

if(GetKeyState(VK_MENU)<0 && GetKeyState(VK_F4)<0)
{
AfxMessageBox("Alt and F4 keys are down!");
}
