How to implement custom window message

**naruto** · 08-27-2004

I use Win32 SDK to write program. The program needs a function that when user clicks one button, the dialog box will be minum size and become a tray in the desktop status bar. As I know to implement tray effect, I should define a custom message. I can do it in MFC program, but I feel curious in Win32 SDK program.

Thanks

not hard.

#define MY_MESSAGE WM_USER + 131

and for example

case WM_COMMAND:
switch(LOWORD(wParam))
{
case ID_Button1:
SendMessage(hmyEdit, MY_MESSAGE, 123, (LONG) other_var);
[...]
case MY_MESSAGE:
if (wParam == 123 && lParam == 999) {.....};
break;
etc.
