Windows message IDs to text descriptions??
Author
Is there anyway to get a text description a message being processed by a window? I want to output a log of windows messages being sent to my Window and was just wondering if there was an easy way of translating a message Id to it''s text description.
Thanks,

You have to do that yourself.

however a much cleaner approach would be something like this:>
if this was what you wanted...
example:>
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam){ switch(uMsg) { case WM_ACTIVATE: logFile.out("WM_ACTIVATE"); break; case WM_CREATE: logFile.out("WM_CREATE"); break; }; return DefWndProc(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);} however a much cleaner approach would be something like this:>
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam){ LogMessage(uMsg); switch(uMsg) { // do this and that }; return DefWndProc(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);}void LogMessage(UINT uMsg){ switch(uMsg) { case WM_ACTIVATE: logFile.out("WM_ACTIVATE"); return; case WM_CREATE: logFile.out("WM_CREATE"); return; };} if this was what you wanted...
Have you tried FormatMessage? It can search the system for the string associated with a message id (I don''t know if there are any strings associated with regular messages), so it''s worth a try.

Thanks for the replies.
I tried FormatMessage() and it looks like it gets error code strings and general system messages, or something of that sort.
Oh well, its nothing of great importance. I just wanted to see what messages where getting sent around.
Thanks anyways!

Isn''t the source for Spy++ available somewhere?
