Take a look at this piece:
Code:
TranslateMessage(&msg);
Why is there an ampersand(&) in front of msg????

& is like AddressOf in VB.
Translate message takes a pointer to MSG, so it needs the memory location, a bit like ByRef, because it needs to alter it. So, you pass a pointer by getting it's address using &.
