Jump to PostIt's a combination of the F4 key code combined with the alt modifiers, you need to check both.
But i'd avoid trying to prevent it if I was you....

Here's the list of virtual key codes. jencas makes a good point that I was wondering about myself. Still, give it a try and let us know what happens.

Instead of PreTranslateMessage(), add a handler for WM_SYSCOMMAND and detect SC_CLOSE.

You sure it's not WM_CLOSE?

Yes, SC_CLOSE comes with WM_SYSCOMMAND.

Seems pretty simple to me, add this to the dialog message procedure, and windows shouldn't handle the ALT-F4.
case WM_SYSKEYDOWN: break;

Hmm .. that renders the system menu completely ineffective, which is probably not what the OP wants.
