WM_KILLFOCUS problem
-
did you manage to get it working it or not can you paste some code snippets for the same.
Regards, Sandip.
This is the callback function for the main (view) window:
LRESULT CALLBACK FldViewWndProc (HWND hWnd, UINT wMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam){ PluginInstance* This; ................................................ case WM_KILLFOCUS: This = (PluginInstance*) GetWindowLong(hWnd, 0); if((HWND)wParam==This->hwndView) register hotkeys break; case WM_SETFOCUS: This = (PluginInstance*) GetWindowLong(hWnd, 0); if((HWND)wParam==This->hwndView) unregister hotkeys break; .................................................. }danginkgo

In the documentation I found that the wParam for WM_KILLFOCUS is the window handler for the window that receive focus, so I'll get this message in the WindowProc function if I click on the main window. So, I can't use this message, because I want to unregister the hotkeys when the main window loses focus, not immediately before it gains focus. Is it wright what I wrote?

are you getting the same values in both cases you mentioned in your previous reply.

The problem is I don't get any message in WindowProc if the window loses focus.

Hi I tried it in a sample application 1> Main window with two edit controls. 2> In WM_LBUTTONDOWN i called SetFocus(hWnd); I noticed is that if i dont call setfocus explicitly i dont get the WM_SETFOCUS notification. and moreover when i switch between the two edit control i dont get any notification. may be you can try something like following. i dont see any need of using GetWindowLong. case WM_LBUTTONDOWN: SetFocus(hWnd); break; case WM_KILLFOCUS: unregisterkeys; break; case WM_SETFOCUS: registerkeys; break; I hope it helps.

My code is exactly like what you wrote. The problem is I don't get the WM_KILLFOCUS message only when I return to the app window. If the focus is on the app window and I go to other window then I don't get any message.

It works now. It seems that the problem was that I called MessageBox() function in my code with wrong HWND. That massed up the messages. I took it out of the code and it works fine. Thank you very much for your help.

In the main window callback function I get the WM_KILLFOCUS message when I click on the window, and only then I get the WM_SETFOCUS message. Is that OK? I thought that WM_KILLFOCUS message is sent to a window immediatly before it looses focus. I want to register some values when the window has keyboard focus and unregister the values when the window looses focus. How can I do that?

It sounds like you need to use
WM_ACTIVATEAPPinstead."Love people and use things, not love things and use people." - Unknown
