I am using an application for which my main framewindowis derived from CXTPFrameWnd (The usual way).

I have some menu items with accel key e.g. &Session.

In the application I have some CView derived class (with window) which is a childwindow of CXTPFrameWnd.

This class has buttons with alt key as S (Lets say &Save).

If this button is on the screen , I want to process this button and ignore the &Session on the menu.

Is there anyway to achieve this?

Just on more piece of info.

If I can get an exit, I know how to process my group if buttons. So the issue is which function I should override.

I myself sorted it out.

BOOL CiMainFrame::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
    if ((pMsg->message == WM_SYSKEYDOWN) && (HIWORD(pMsg->lParam) & KF_ALTDOWN))
    {
TCHAR chAccel = (TCHAR)(UINT)pMsg->wParam;
CvBaseView *pView = (CvBaseView *) GetActiveView();
chAccel = toupper(chAccel);
if (chAccel && pView -> ProcessAccelerator(chAccel))
     return TRUE;

}
return CXTPFrameWnd::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
