FALSE: Direct editing of container text was not successfully started. The WinGetLastError function may return the following error:

PMERR_INVALID_PARAMETERS.

Remarks

The application sends this message to the container control to start the direct editing of container text. The application can assign this message to a key or key combination, a menu choice, or both so that the user can start editing container text directly from the keyboard.

When the container control receives this message, it sends the CN_BEGINEDIT notification code to the application.

Default Processing

The default window procedure does not expect to receive this message and therefore takes no action on it other than to return FALSE.
