    Go to www.msdn.microsoft.com and look up these. These are the prefixes of windows messages, All messages have prefixes according to what class they fall in.


    WM_ //Windows Messages

    VK_ //Keyboard

    BM_ //Button Mouse

    BN_ //Button (Mouse)

    ...There may be more...

    EXAMPLE: BN_CLICKED is a Windows Message occuring when you click on a button (with your mouse), the EVENT occurs for clickable buttons like SUBMIT on this form.

    Certain functions take Msgs as args.
