WndProc
Hi. I learned C++ a few years ago from a guy who apparently thought DOS is the benchmark of OS, so I'm working my through a windows tutorial. The tutorial (forgers-win32, in pdf format) suggested going through header files to find declarations of the messages that can be passed to WndProc. I get WM_LBUTTONDOWN, and so forth, but the list is rather long and not all of them are readily apparent. Does anyone know a site with explanations for these? I didn't find windows.h in the cplusplus.com reference, Microsoft's msdn keeps showing me info on Windows Mobile programming, and google takes me to forums that deal with specific problems. I'm not trying to do anything specific yet, I'm just looking for a good reference.
That's a rather pointless exercise. Each window type handles a subset of messages. Only a very few have general use.
The best way to get going it to try to do something simple.
Also, if you're curious and have Spy (or Spy++ as it's called these days), you can watch a Window and see what messages it's receiving.
