Creating Window
In order to create window we must follow these steps. (To create Pre-defined window the steps are somewhat different. We will look at it later.)
Step 1) Define what type of window we need to create.
Step 2) Register our definition to Operating System.
Step 3) Now, Create Window based on our definition.
Step 4) Add functionality to our window.
One Look of how our complete code will look when we complete part 2 tutorial:-
| Code: | #ifndef UNICODE
#define UNICODE
#endif
#include <windows.h>
LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
int WINAPI wWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE, PWSTR pCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
// Register the window class.
const wchar_t CLASS_NAME[] = L"myClassname";
WNDCLASS wc = { };
wc.lpfnWndProc=WindowProc;
wc.hInstance=hInstance;
wc.lpszClassName=CLASS_NAME;
if(!RegisterClass(&wc))
{
MessageBox(NULL,L"Cannot register window",L"Title Bar",MB_OK);
return 0;
}
HWND hwnd = CreateWindow(CLASS_NAME,L"My Title Window",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW|WS_VISIBLE,100,100,500,500,NULL,NULL,hInstance,NULL);
if (hwnd == NULL)
{
MessageBox(NULL,L"CreateWindow Failed",L"Create Window problem",0);
return 0;
}
MSG msg = { };
while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
return 0;
}
LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch(uMsg)
{
case WM_DESTROY: PostQuitMessage(0);return 0;
break;
default: return DefWindowProc(hwnd,uMsg,wParam,lParam);
}
return 0;
} |
Step 1)--->
WNDCLASS wc={}; /*We will use WNDCLASS structure to define our window. WNDCLASS structure have several members. We will only use those that are relative to this tutorial. And rest we have set to NULL*/
wc.hInstance = hInstance; // Here we pass the handle program instance.
wc.lpfnWndProc = WindowProc /*lpfnWndProc is a function pointer. windowproc is our function that will add functionality to our window.*/
wc.lpszClassName = L"myClassname"; // Unique string that names our WNDClASS structure
For example:-
Operating system will take value from wc structure and will create something like this in memory:
struct WNDCLASS myClassname{
HINSTANCE hInstance = hinstance;
lpfnWndProc = windowproc;
style = NULL; // since we have set it to null
hIcon = NULL; // since we have set it to null
};
