Modifying an Accelerator Table

You can modify an accelerator table, for either your application windows or the system, by doing the following:

• Retrieve the handle of the accelerator table.

• Use that handle to copy the accelerator-table data to an application-supplied buffer.

• Change the data in the buffer.

• Use the changed data to create a new accelerator table.

Then you can use the new accelerator-table handle to set the accelerator table, as outlined in the following list:

• Call WinQueryAccelTable to retrieve an accelerator-table handle.

• Call WinCopyAccelTable with a NULL buffer handle to determine how many bytes are in the table.

• Allocate sufficient memory for the accelerator-table data.

• Call WinCopyAccelTable, with a pointer to the allocated memory.

• Modify the data in the buffer (assuming it has the form of an ACCELTABLE structure).

• Call WinCreateAccelTable, passing a pointer to the buffer with the modified accelerator-table data.

• Call WinSetAccelTable with the handle returned by WinCreateAccelTable.
