getMinMaxInfo use

I have an Dialog based project and if I try to add a windows messgaehandler for WM_GETMINMAXINFO, I have to change the filter from dialog to window in order to have that message available in the list. Is this ok? What is the reason for this? Thanks, ns
Hi ns, You're doing fine. This filter is just an Visual Studio UI thing designed to minimize the number of handlers the programmer is exposed to, so that only the most commonly used are displayed. Sometimes it happens (as in your case) that you go nuts looking for that handler and it appears nowhere. IMHO the filter thing does more harm than good, and it's badly implemented (it appears in a different tab than where its effect is apparent.)

Hi, the reason is that the WM_GETMINMAXINFO is usually only avaiable for Windows. The Visual C++ help index says that this handler fills an array with information of the window. However, since dialogs are considered as a window this seems to be corrected. Kindly yours. Alex
