Windows Messages Bizarreness
- by jameszhao00
Probably just a gross oversight of some sort, but I'm not receiving any WM_SIZE messages in the message loop. However, I do receive them in the WndProc. I thought the windows loop gave messages out to WndProc?
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc( HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
{
switch(message)
{
// this message is read when the window is closed
case WM_DESTROY:
{
// close the application entirely
PostQuitMessage(0);
return 0;
} break;
case WM_SIZE:
return 0;
break;
}
printf("wndproc - %i\n", message);
// Handle any messages the switch statement didn't
return DefWindowProc (hWnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}
... and now the message loop...
while(TRUE)
{
// Check to see if any messages are waiting in the queue
if(PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE))
{
// translate keystroke messages into the right format
TranslateMessage(&msg);
// send the message to the WindowProc function
DispatchMessage(&msg);
// check to see if it's time to quit
if(msg.message == WM_QUIT)
{
break;
}
if(msg.message == WM_SIZING)
{
printf("loop - resizing...\n");
}
}
else
{
//do other stuff
}
}
