Syntax

retVal = object.message
object.message = newVal

retVal

Long. The message identifier.

object

Required. An expression that returns a MSGWrap object.

newVal

Required Long. The new message identifier.

Remarks

The message property corresponds to the message field in the MSG structure defined as part of the Microsoft Windows operating system. If an event handler is handling the OnKeystrokeMessageForAddon event, Visio passes a MSGWrap object as an argument when this event fires. A MSGWrap object is a wrapper around the Windows MSG structure.

The OnKeystrokeMessageForAddon event fires for messages in the following range:

WM_KEYDOWN

0x0100

WM_KEYUP

0x0101

WM_CHAR

0x0102

WM_DEADCHAR

0x0103

WM_SYSKEYDOWN

0x0104

WM_SYSKEYUP

0x0105

WM_SYSCHAR

0x0106

WM_SYSDEADCHAR

0x0107
