I would like to divide a window into irregularly shaped regions that I would name, for instance, Region 1, Region 2, etc. What I want to do is when the window is clicked using the mouse my code should alert me as to which region is being accessed, perhaps via a message box. How can I partition my window?
Thanks in advance.
First you have this post on the wrong board, it should be on the Windows Programming board. Secondly you need to do a hit test in response to the WM_MOUSEMOVE event to know where the pointer is. Or since you want this information during the click you would handle it during a WM_LBUTTONDOWN or WM_LBUTTONUP message.
While you're breakin' down my back n'
I been rackin' out my brain
It don't matter how we make it
'Cause it always ends the same
You can push it for more mileage
But your flaps r' wearin' thin
And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'
But this nightmare never ends
Don't forget to call my lawyers
With ridiculous demands
An you can take the pity so far
But it's more than I can stand
'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older
Tell me how long has it been
'Cause 5 years is forever
An you haven't grown up yet

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Look up regions.
Specifially look up:
CreatePolygonRgn() and CreatePolyPolygonRgn()
And you can then use PtInRegion() (pointer in region) which will tell you if the pointer is inside the region (pass it the region handle and the LO/HI word of lParam in the mouse messages.
Haven't tested this just looked it up then in the reference, so it may not be what you're looking for.
