Window Message

[DeCoDeR]

Hi,
I am using MFC dialog ( default one coming with if you choose MFC.exe as project type ). I can add mfc message handlers like WM_CHAR etc to my application. How can i add a custom message handler ?

Something like this could do it

#define WM_CUSTOM_MSG WM_USER+35

...

PostMessage(WM_CUSTOM_MSG);


and in PretranslateMessage


switch (pMsg->message)
{
case WM_CUSTOM_MSG:
{
MakeANewSourceSelection();
return TRUE;
}
}

An even more elegant solution is instead of overloading PreTranslateMessage(), add message map entries for your message by hand.

In between the BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP() and END_MESSAGE_MAP() macros in the .cpp file, put the following entry:

ON_MESSAGE(MY_MESSAGE, memberFxn)

The prototype for memberFxn is

afx_msg LRESULT memberFxn(WPARAM, LPARAM);
