Im processing WM_CHAR and trying to print repeat count ,so that it
tells me the repeat count on continuous key press.But its always
one.Then whats the use of that repeat count field?

The repeat count is only incremented if the system collapses several
WM_CHAR messages together because you don't process them fast enough.
Since these days you're generally going to process all the WM_CHAR
messages as they come in, the repeat count will just be one.

Think of the repeat count not as the number of times a character was
hit, but the number of times they key repeated since the last WM_CHAR
was processed.
