MessageMap with Dynamic Controls

[krionic]

What I'm trying to do is handle an event of a control created during runtime.

Example: User does something that makes the app display 1 to 3 buttons. Lets say in this instance it generated 2 CButton

Here is some sample code of what i'm doing. I'm wrapping CButton to make my own button class, but I want it to generate different output on a MessageBox... say, its ID (cbutID)

Header

#include <afxwin.h>
#include <afxcmn.h>

#define IDB_BUTTON 100

// Declare the application class
class CHelloApp : public CWinApp
{
public:
  virtual BOOL InitInstance();
};

//Declare CButtonMain
class CButtonMain : public CButton
{
   int cbutID;
   public:
   Creater(class CHelloWindow *const obj, CRect butRect, int cbutID);
};



// Declare the main window class
class CHelloWindow : public CFrameWnd
{
  CStatic* cs;
  CMainTabCtrl* ctab;
  CButtonMain* cbut1;
  CButtonMain* cbut2;
  CRect cbut1Rect;
  CRect cbut2Rect;
public:
	
  CHelloWindow();
  afx_msg void HandleButton();
  DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};


BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CHelloWindow, CFrameWnd)
   ON_BN_CLICKED(IDB_BUTTON, HandleButton)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

Source

//hello.cpp


#include "hello.h"


// Create an instance of the application class

CHelloApp HelloApp;





// The InitInstance function is called each
// time the application first executes.
BOOL CHelloApp::InitInstance()
{
 
	m_pMainWnd = new CHelloWindow();
	m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(m_nCmdShow);
	m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();
	return TRUE;
}

// The constructor for the window class
CHelloWindow::CHelloWindow()
{
	
	
	// Create the window itself
	Create(NULL, "Hello World!", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, CRect(100,100,700,500));
	// Create a static label

	//GetClientRect(&r);
	//r.InflateRect(-20,-20);
	CHelloWindow::CenterWindow();

	cs = new CStatic();
	cs->Create("hello world", WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SS_CENTER, CRect(50,80, 150, 150), this);
	ctab = new CMainTabCtrl();
	ctab->Creater(this);
	cbutID = 100;
	cbut1Rect = CRect(25,25,50,50);
	cbut1 = new CButtonMain();
	cbut1->Creater(this, cbut1Rect, cbutID);
	cbutID = 101;
	cbut2Rect = CRect(0,0,25,25);
	cbut2 = new CButtonMain();
	cbut2->Creater(this, cbut2Rect, cbutID);

}

void CHelloWindow::HandleButton(int cbutID)
{
	
		MessageBox((const char *)cbutID, "Error", 
      MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK);
	
}




CButtonMain::Creater(class CHelloWindow *const obj, CRect butRect, int cbutID)
{
	CButtonMain::cbutID = cbutID;
	Create("Push me", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | BS_PUSHBUTTON, butRect, obj, cbutID);
}

How can i associate an instance of the CButtonMain class to the event Handler (Message)

Any push in the right direction, is appreciated.

PS. Is there any way to tell Visual C++ 6.0 to generate source code for controls instead of reference files.
