Why does not Command Prompt window have WndProc ?

[Ky Nam]

Hi I need to subclass Command Prompt window but CP window's WndProc is Zero , therefore i can not call DefWndProc I do subclassing window using global hook Thanks for your ideas

There is no windows message loop for command prompt applications, so no message queue and no routing of messages to a WndProc. You could use a hidden window though. What are you trying to do ?

I mean window of CMD.exe , i think CMD.exe is a window application , it has window handle , window class , ... , an program can use most of window related functions with Command Prompt window I use global hook to subclass all top-level windows , in their subclassed WndProc i will send useful messages to main program written in .NET , main program will do something such as : adding title button + system menu , managing window . Would you like to try it ?
