I've got this example "Using Timer Functions to Trap Mouse Input" below from MSDN but not very helpful...
Code:
HICON hIcon1; // icon handle
POINT ptOld; // previous cursor location
UINT uResult; // SetTimer's return value
HINSTANCE hinstance; // handle to current instance
//
// Perform application initialization here.
//
wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(hinstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(400));
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(hinstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(200));
// Record the initial cursor position.
GetCursorPos(&ptOld);
// Set the timer for the mousetrap.
uResult = SetTimer(hwnd, // handle to main window
IDT_MOUSETRAP, // timer identifier
10000, // 10-second interval
(TIMERPROC) NULL); // no timer callback
if (uResult == 0)
{
ErrorHandler("No timer is available.");
}
LONG APIENTRY MainWndProc(
HWND hwnd, // handle to main window
UINT message, // type of message
WPARAM wParam, // additional information
LPARAM lParam) // additional information
{
HDC hdc; // handle to device context
POINT pt; // current cursor location
RECT rc; // location of minimized window
switch (message)
{
//
// Process other messages.
//
case WM_TIMER:
// If the window is minimized, compare the current
// cursor position with the one from 10 seconds
// earlier. If the cursor position has not changed,
// move the cursor to the icon.
if (IsIconic(hwnd))
{
GetCursorPos(&pt);
if ((pt.x == ptOld.x) && (pt.y == ptOld.y))
{
GetWindowRect(hwnd, &rc);
SetCursorPos(rc.left, rc.top);
}
else
{
ptOld.x = pt.x;
ptOld.y = pt.y;
}
}
return 0;
case WM_DESTROY:
// Destroy the timer.
KillTimer(hwnd, IDT_MOUSETRAP);
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
//
// Process other messages.
//
}
From code above, where should the following lines of code be inserted in my program?
Code:
HICON hIcon1; // icon handle
POINT ptOld; // previous cursor location
UINT uResult; // SetTimer's return value
HINSTANCE hinstance; // handle to current instance
//
// Perform application initialization here.
//
wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(hinstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(400));
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(hinstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(200));
// Record the initial cursor position.
GetCursorPos(&ptOld);
// Set the timer for the mousetrap.
uResult = SetTimer(hwnd, // handle to main window
IDT_MOUSETRAP, // timer identifier
10000, // 10-second interval
(TIMERPROC) NULL); // no timer callback
if (uResult == 0)
{
ErrorHandler("No timer is available.");
}
Is it in WinMain()?
