Hello, is there a way to wrap a WindowProc (so "LRESULT
WindowProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM
lParam) nothrow") in a class and to link it to a WindowClass
without puting it as "static" ?
Because defacto every datum used in the WindowProc must also
be static.
The problem technically is that if "static" is not specified,
the compiler won't allow this: "MyWinClass.lpfnWndProc =
&TheWindowProcInMyClass".
I've also tried this: "MyWinClass.lpfnWndProc =
(&TheWindowProcInMyClass).funcptr" but, while it compiles, it
drastically fails at the run-time...
Not possible, no. What you *can* do is have some way to
translate from
hwnd to class instance, and fetch the right instance inside
the static
wndProc to call a member function on that.
If you are only going to have one window you can store the
"this" pointer in a global variable.
If you want to have multiple windows each with messages going
to an instance of a class, you need to do the following:
- Specify the "this" pointer as the lpParam argument to
CreateWindow
- Hook up a static WndProc function
- Have the static function handle a WM_NCCREATE message as
follows:
- Cast the "lParam" parameter to a CREATESTRUCT* and
retrieve the "this" pointer from the "lpCreateParams" member.
- Use "SetWindowLongPtr" to set the GWLP_USERDATA property
of the window "hwnd" to the "this" pointer
- Have the static function handle all messages as follows:
- Use "GetWindowLongPtr" to get the GWLP_USERDATA property
of the window "hwnd" to get the "this" pointer
- Pass the message on to a non-static WndProc in the class
using the discovered "this" pointer
You also need to make sure that there is a separate reference
to the class instance for as long as the window exists, because
the garbage collector will not scan the window properties and
so may think the object is garbage otherwise.
Yes I'm in the "multiple Window case", every window is wraped in
a class and has its own message handler. I know that Win, in its
callback system, often lets you retrieve a pointer to something,
and I haven't get it was possible in this case...(which is you
seem to describe). I will try this tomorrow.
