What Charles Petzold meant with the statement you've quoted is probably that you seldom call a message handler directly as an ordinary function call.
If you find yourself in a situation where you would like to call a message handler directly, you should call SendMessage() with appropriate message ID as argument. I guess this is what Petzold refers to as being "called from Windows itself" since your using the Win32 API method SendMessage().

This addresses the message management routines from a different perspective than the Petzold qoute. The qoute answers a question such as "how do I call a message handler from my code", but I understand your question to be more like "in what ways does a message handler get called when sending a message with SendMessage and PostMessage".
A part of the answer for that question can be read in my previous post and also by following the MSDN link I provided.
In addition: when posting a message with PostMessage(), the message is always placed in the message queue for the receiving window and retrieved with a call to GetMessage(). The matching message handler is then usually determined by a switch-case statement and called with the parameters that came with the message.

MessageLoop ( GetMessage & DispatchMessage ) not needed in some cases. So it means that SendMessage() can call WindowProc directly. For a test case call UpdateWindow() before MessageLoop will invoke WindowProc directly. WindowProc will be called with WM_PAINT message. Then only the control comes to MessageLoop.

Yes. In case the message is sent using SendMessage().

I don't understand what you mean. Is this a question?
If you want to see how message handling works, I suggest you use your own user defined message ID. You cannot use WM_PAINT or WM_TIMER for this purpose since those messages are treated differently than other messages.
Try sending with SendMessage() and posting with PostMessage() from the main thread and see how the call stack differs in the two scenarios.
Then try sending the message from another thread and you'll find that the call stack looks the same as if the message was posted from the main thread.

I did try user defined message using SendMessage() before the message loop, soon after a call to CreateWindow() API. The message was send from main thread only. The windowproc received the User defined messages. This means that the message loop is not needed for SendMessage to deliver messages to WindowProc.

i have to create a tab with items that change dynamically. i have to use only one dialog for all the tabs. how to do this?. is it possible
Arise Awake Stop Not Till ur Goal is Reached.

this is a very not advisable way but i am sure that it will work.
you can make different controls on the dialog visible property false and make it true when u need them

I can see only one class in this code. And really dont understand your question.

what function do you want to be virtual!

Hi
can u suggest me how to use a form view in tab control.I have done using dialogs in tab control for each tab item
Thanks,
Sireesha
|
|
|
|
|
Why you want to use form view instead of a dialog? What feature do you expected doing so?
nave
|
|
|
|
|
My application is like...
I need to get a vertical scroll bar when the size of the dialog increases.this should not increase the size of tab control
is there any way of doing that
|
|
|
|
|
is your dialog size increasing dynamically?
|
|
|
|
|
yes,the dialog size should be increased dynamically.
|
|
|
|
|
hey i will try getting a better solution in while u just make the vertical scroll property true
|
|
|
|
|
ok..I will suggest your a mehtod to this in dialog itself.
Specify the WS_VSROLL style fo the dislog that you added to tab
Create another dialog as the child of the dialog that you add to tab control.
you should put all the control in the second dialog.
So when use clicks on the scroll button, just move the innner dialog up or down
specify the WS_VSROLL style if you want to scroll dialog horizontally
use Setscrollinfo funtion in the begining to set the scroll bar sizes

Hello Friends,
I also want to use Form view in a Tab Control.
My problem is we have developed the code using From view. And used menu bar for different screens.
Now we got a requirement form client tht they want Tab Controls instead of Menus..
I tried many things but its not working..
Can u tell me whether we can add form view in a Tab Control or not????

Just change the form view to CDialog add to the Tab control. If you too want scroll, just try the method I suggested in the previous post.
nave
|
|
|
|
|
thanks for the suggestion....
I have a doubt ..which dialog will be shown to the user initially --the dialog having the scroll bar or the child dialog having all the controls.
If it is the dialog having the vertical scroll bar then the controls will not be shown to the user until the sroll bar is clicked
|
|
|
|
|
you can set which tab should be the default dialog like setDefaultPage(0); if that is there in ur code
|
|
|
|
|
guys please answer my query..
really in need of help
|
|
|
|
|
i have not added a form view in a tab pane but i believe you can add it in the same manner as you add dialog
like
m_oPhoneBook.Create(IDD_PhoneBook);
just creat a private variable of the form view and in place of the dialog id put the form view id

Read the thread from the begining...

both dialog 
assume
--outer dialog is the dialog having the the scroll bar style
--innner dialog have the controls
You can create the innner dialog from the OnInitdialog function of the outer dialog.
Also you must set the SetScrollinfo of the outerdialog from this funtion it self.
you must process the WM_HSCROLL and WM_VSCROLL messages and move the inner dialog from this functions.
