Public Function PreFilterMessage (ByRef m As Message) As Boolean
Parameters

The message to be dispatched. You cannot modify this message.
Returns
true

to allow the message to continue to the next filter or control.
Remarks
Use PreFilterMessage to filter out a message before it is dispatched to a control or form. For example, to stop the Click event of a Button control from being dispatched to the control, you implement the PreFilterMessage method and return a true
value when the Click message occurs. You can also use this method to perform code work that you might need to do before the message is dispatched.
