PM_QS_PAINT question.
-
In Platform SDK of MSDN, about PeekMessage function: it says we can use PM_QS_PAINT or some other values to specify that only certain message should be processed. But when I use this value, I got complie error:'PM_QS_PAINT' : undeclared identifier. I'm sure I include Windows.h. The other problem I got is I can use SetForegroundWindow()function, but not AllowSetForegroundWindow()function in the same file. I got compile warning:'AllowSetForegroundWindow' undefined. Anyone knows how to fix those. Thx. mIchAel Liu

This means that any code that uses it will not run on W95/98/98SE/NT and also means you'll need to download the platform SDK ( about 500 MB, also available on CD ) in order to use it.

PM_QS_PAINT : MSDN give us four values to specify that only certain message should be processed. Do you know how to specify those values? 1. PM_QS_INPUT Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000/XP: Process mouse and keyboard messages. 2. PM_QS_PAINT Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000/XP: Process paint messages. 3. PM_QS_POSTMESSAGE Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000/XP: Process all posted messages, including timers and hotkeys. 4. PM_QS_SENDMESSAGE Windows 98/Me, Windows 2000/XP: Process all sent messages. AllowSetForegroundWindow(): But I can use SetForegroundWindow(). This function needs the same requirements as AllowSetForegroundWindow(). Thx. mIchAel Liu

It looks like AllowSetForegroundWindow is a newer function. Have you got the latest platform SDK or are you still using the headers that came with VC6?

I'm using the headers that comes with VC6(sp5). I have MSDN(Jan. 2002). Is the SDK in that CD? Thx. mIchAel Liu

If you have an MSDN subscription other than the Library, you should have a CD with the platform SDK. If you only have a library subscription you'll need to obtain the platform SDK from the MSDN site. Michael :-) Look, try and use your intelligence, man, even if you are a politician. - The Doctor

I've installed the latest SDK, how can I updated the vc6 include file? Just copy those files? Thx. mIchAel Liu

Wow - you must have an MSDN subscription. The SDK should set up it's paths so that it is automatically integrated with VC. Christian I am completely intolerant of stupidity. Stupidity is, of course, anything that doesn't conform to my way of thinking. - Jamie Hale - 29/05/2002
