WM_KILLFOCUS problem
-
did you manage to get it working it or not can you paste some code snippets for the same.
Regards, Sandip.
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?

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
