Accelerator problem

[timmay3141]

I'm trying to figure out how to use accelerator tables without MFC. I'm trying to get Ctrl+N to do the same as the menu selection File, New. Here is the handler of the menu item:

void OnCommand(WPARAM wParam)
{
switch(wParam)
{
case IDM_FILE_NEW:
MessageBox(NULL, "Recieved Message", "adsfa", MB_OK);
}
}

This works fine when I use the menu, and I see a message box. The problem is using the accelerator to handle messages. I put this in the accelerator resource table:

IDM_FILE_NEW Ctrl + N VIRTKEY

I added this to WinMain:

HACCEL hAccelTable = LoadAccelerators(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MYACCELERATOR));

I added this to the message pump:

if(TranslateAccelerator(hWnd, hAccelTable, &msg)) continue;

From what I read, this should be sending the WM_COMMAND message, which should then handle it like a File, New. The OnCommand function is called, but the wParam in the function doesn't equal IDM_FILE_NEW. Any ideas?

BOOL CKassaDlg:reTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
switch(pMsg->message)
{ case WM_KEYDOWN: switch(pMsg->wParam)
{ case VK_ESCAPE: OnButtonsluiten();
return TRUE;
case VK_F4: ArtikelGeefAantal();
return TRUE;
case VK_F5: OnButtonTotaal();
return TRUE;
case VK_F6: OnButtonnieuwart();
return TRUE;
case VK_F7: OnButtoneditart();
return TRUE;
case VK_F8: OnButtonleveringen();
return TRUE;
