Detect when a Window is Moved

[nbgoku]

how do i detect when a window is moved


the reason i ask this is b/c i want to get the new position and move all the child windows with the parent window when the parent window is moved

All children are automatically moved when you move some window. To detect windows moevments use message WM_MOVE or create a windows hook.

oh maybe its not a child then, maybe i used the wrong term

what i did was create a new dialog box, and launch the dailog box from the main dialog (parent) when a button is pressed

is it still suppoused to move automatically? if it is is there any settings i should change in the property mode maybe?

ok how do implement this WM_MOVE, i dont see how i should use this?
am i suppoused to use it with the OnMove() function? maybe some other function?

OK OK i got some coding and tried to use it but it didnt work

LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure(HWND hWnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {

       switch(msg) 
			 {
             case WM_MOVE:

                  MessageBox(hWnd, "WM_MOVE: The Window Moved", "Goodbye!", MB_OK);
                  return 0;
			}
       return DefWindowProc(hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
 }

i have a CDialog, and a CPostfilterDlg, should this be in the code somewhere, like

CPostfilterDlg::LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure(HWND hWnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
...
return CDialog::DefWindowProc(hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam);

i dont know how to declare a LRESULT CALLBACK in the .h file, how do i do that?

ah ok never mind, i figured it out, for anyone interested on what i used, i used: WM_ON_MOVE and OnMOVE()


works good to
