messagemapping cbutton

[Horrid]

I have a class for a token object, when a token object is created it draws information about the token on the screen along with a button. Is it possible to set a message map for this button so it works? Every example I can find assumes I created the cbutton object in my dialog class, I can't find any examples of how to deal with a button that is a member of class.


The very basics are

.h

#define Button_Id someId
class cTokenObject{
public:
cTokenObject(int TokenId);
protected:
afx_msg void OnButtonInterface( );
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
private:
CButton* cButton

}


.cpp

cTokenObject::cTokenObject(int TokenId){
cButton = new CButton;
cButton->Create(buttoncreationcode, someId);
}

// I think this part is very wrong
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(cTokenObject, cTokenObject)
ON_BN_CLICKED(someId, OnButtonInterface)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

void cTokenObject::OnButtonInterface(){
// whatever my code here is
}
Is it possible to do this? Am I even half way on the correct track. Not looking for how to do it, just if I can and if I am on the correct track.

Subclass the button: then you can route it to your own window proc to do whatever you want.

very cool, thanks for the help.

in your case is recommended not subclassing but adding a handler for WM_COMMAND

Thinks Ion, I'll take a look into that. Very much trying to cram too much information into my head in a short amount of time.
