Hello Everybody,
I would like to use a control, for example several buttons in a window, not a dialog box. However when the button is pushed is it possible to have that button handled by the window callback function the same way as what a dialog box callback function handles it.
Example: I would like the button that I create to have an ID, so when it is pressed it can be handled as described below.
WM_COMMAND:
{
switch(message)
{
case ID_MY_BUTTON1:
return 0;
case ID_MY_BUTTON2:
return 0;
}
}
Thanks

I thought if you but a button directly on a window, pressing it sends a WM_COMMAND message to your WndProc same as with DialogProc. Certainly works that way with menus.
Be interested to know if that is not correct.

It's the same.
Cynic, I think your problem may be that you don't have a proper loop setup for the window so that it can translate/dispatch messages as it should. In your code somewhere, you should have something that looks fairly similar to this:
// enter main message loopwhile(::GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0) == TRUE){ // process messages ::TranslateMessage(&msg); ::DispatchMessage(&msg);}You also have to have your WNDCLASSEX structure filled out correctly and registered, but that's the general gist.

Hi guys,
The problem is, the controls that I have created are all created using CreateWindowEX().
How do I give the HWND that I have created an ID? For example when you create a control on a dialog box you can chage the ID from its properties.
How can you give the HWND an ID so it is the same?
I have made callback procs that were used with dialog boxes. I would like to use the same callback procs with the obvious minor changes for a window.
Anyone know how I could do this?
Thanks

From The docs:
Quote:lParam has the HWND of the control, you can switch on that instead of an ID.
lParam
Handle to the control sending the message if the message is from a control. Otherwise, this parameter is NULL.

Cool!
But is there a way I can set an ID for the control instead of handling the wParam and lParam?
I already have my callback procs that I would like to use. So I don't want to have to change them.
Thanks

It's all good.
I found out how. When you create the control, you just have to definea macro and pass that to the function CreateWindowEx() as (HMENU)macro name.
