button 'message'

how would i get a message in the WM_COMMAND from the following button?:

Code:

---

HWND button;
button = CreateWindow("BUTTON", "NPC's", WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | BS_PUSHBUTTON, 616, 30, 64, 24, hwnd, NULL, (HINSTANCE) GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_HINSTANCE), NULL);

If you mean get a notification of a button click event then you would check for BN_CLICKED notifications. Something like:

Code:

---

case WM_COMMAND:
  {
  WORD wID,wNotify;

  wID=LOWORD(wParam);
  wNotify=HIWORD(wParam);
  if (lParam)
    {
    /* it's a control notification message */
    if (wNotify==BN_CLICKED)
      {
      /* a button control has been clicked */
      if (wID==id of your button control) /* replace with actual value */
        {
        /* the button clicked has an identifier of
        id of your button control */
        }
      }
    }
  }

---

Note that you should give your button control a numeric identifier as the HMENU parameter of CreateWindow/CreateWindowEx; id of your button control should be replaced with the actual value you use.

hmm...it dosn't seem to work...i copyed and pasted and edited the code you posted to look like:

Code:

---

case WM_COMMAND:
{
LPARAM lparam;
  WORD wID,wNotify;

  wID=LOWORD(wparam);
  wNotify=HIWORD(wparam);
  if (lparam)
    {
    /* it's a control notification message */
    if (wNotify==BN_CLICKED)
      {
      /* a button control has been clicked */
      if (wID==10) /* replace with actual value */
        {
        MessageBox (NULL, "it works" , ":)", 0);
        }
      }
    }
  }

---

and the button code to look like:

Code:

---

HWND button;
button = CreateWindow("BUTTON", "NPC's", WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | BS_PUSHBUTTON, 616, 30, 64, 24, hwnd, (HMENU) 10, (HINSTANCE) GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_HINSTANCE), NULL);

---

Can you wrap your code?

Code:

---

HWND button;
button = CreateWindow("BUTTON", "NPC's", WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | BS_PUSHBUTTON,
                      616, 30, 64, 24, hwnd, (HMENU) 10,
                      (HINSTANCE) GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_HINSTANCE), NULL);

---

It cuts down on the horizontal scroll bars

ok....still a bit new...anyway..can anyone help?

>>LPARAM lparam;<<

This wasn't in the original example I posted and with good reason. lParam is the last parameter passed to your window procedure.ie

Code:

---

LRESULT CALLBACK Wndproc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg,WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
case WM_COMMAND:
/*etc*/
}

---

ok..removed that but it still dosn't work!?

Please post or attach your code. It would also be helpful if you could post any error messages you're getting.

thats the code for the whole program....there arn't any error messages...but i kno it dosn't work, other wise it would display the message box when i click the button

Spacing your code pays dividends:

Code:

---

case WM_KEYDOWN:
switch ( wparam ) {

        case VK_ESCAPE:
                PostQuitMessage( 0 );
                break;
                return 0;

        case WM_COMMAND:
        {
                WORD wID,wNotify;

                wID=LOWORD(wparam);
                wNotify=HIWORD(wparam);
                if (lparam)
                {
                        /* it's a control notification message */
                        if (wNotify==BN_CLICKED)
                        {
                                /* a button control has been clicked */
                                if (wID==10) /* replace with actual value */
                                {
                                        MessageBox (NULL, "it works" , ":)", 0);
                                }
                        }
                }
        }
}

hmm....ok...but i still don't know how to get the code to work properly...:(...or am i missing somthing?

WM_ COMMAND is a separate message - you appear to be treating it as part of your WM_KEYDOWN switch statement.

ooops!!!...ok now i feel really stupid..lol...anyway thanks all!
