Subclass form window proc

[Mike Scott]

What's the easiest way to subclass the window proc of a form so that I can
add special processing for Windows messages such as WM_CLOSE?

Cheers,

MikeS.

The combination of MessageWindow and native dll that'd
redirect the subclassed messages to this MessageWindow...

Since it's pretty much an all-managed code deal, this lets you put it
all inside your current program, rather than shipping an additional
DLL. See the article at
http://www.alexfeinman.com/Callbacks/Callbacks.htm for really detailed
information on how the technique works(the WndProc section is at the
bottom).

Here's some example code (mostly taken from Alex's sample). Hope it
helps!

Basic usage: call InitiateSubclass() in your form's constructor. Fill
in WndProc as usual.

using OpenNETCF.Callbacks;

[DllImport("coredll")]
public static extern IntPtr GetFocus();

[DllImport("coredll")]
public static extern int GetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, GetWindowLongParam
nItem);

[DllImport("coredll")]
public static extern void SetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int
GetWindowLongParam, int nValue);

[DllImport("coredll")]
public static extern IntPtr CallWindowProc(IntPtr pfn, IntPtr hWnd,
int msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);

private Callback newWndProc;
private IntPtr oldWndProc;

int GWL_WNDPROC = -4;

private void InitiateSubclass()
{
this.Focus();
IntPtr hWnd = GetFocus();

if (hWnd == IntPtr.Zero)
throw new InvalidOperationException("Subclass error!");

newWndProc = CallbackFactory.AllocateCallback(this, "WndProc");
oldWndProc = new IntPtr(GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_WNDPROC));
Win32Window.SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_WNDPROC,
newWndProc.CB.ToInt32());
}

private void RemoveSubclass()
{
this.Focus();
IntPtr hWnd = GetFocus();

SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_WNDPROC, oldWndProc.ToInt32());
}

private IntPtr WndProc(IntPtr hWnd, int msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr
lParam )
{
// do all your usual message processing here
// to call the base WndProc, do the following:
// CallWindowProc(oldWndProc, hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
}

Guys,
Keep in mind that I haven't had a chance to update Callbacks library with
the ARM code for PPC 2003. If there are any takers, I would gladly
incorporate the new assembly stub into the article code.
