issues reading lParam

[ilovenoodles]

Hello all, im trying to read the message WM_SHOWWINDOW to know when my parent
window is being restored after being minimized.
But it appears that i cant read the lParam the right way ( or that i did not understood why and when that message is sent ?)

should it works this way :

case WM_SHOWWINDOW:
if(lParam == SW_PARENTOPENING)
{
do something there.
}
return 0;

?

thanks

Try this to see what you get:

    case WM_SHOWWINDOW:
    {
      char buffer[256] = {0};
      sprintf(buffer, "WM_SHOWWINDOW - lParam = %d", lParam);
      ::MessageBoxA(0, buffer, "Info", MB_OK);
    }
    return 0;

You need to include <stdio.h>

WM_SHOWWINDOW - lParam = 0, at the lauch of the program.
(i had to use sprintf_s, visualstudio saying me sprintf was unsafe ?)

not sure what you expected ?

WM_SHOWWINDOW - lParam = 0, at the lauch of the program.

Well this normal, does it mean the message box was only shown once?

How is the second created?
Could you maybe post the code?

[ilovenoodles]

only once, yes.

well.. the code is pretty big. what do you want to see ?

	case WM_SIZE:
		if (wParam == SIZE_MINIMIZED)
			FUK = 1;
		if (wParam == SIZE_RESTORED && FUK == 1)
		{
			InvalidateRect(hWnd, NULL, TRUE);
			FUK = 0;
		}

this, is working. should i be ashamed and keep searching ? ^^

The code where you create the windows.
