Message Translation

Although applications generally use the same window class, messages between windows of different classes are transparently translated by the system.

Even though a window function is implemented to receive messages in Unicode or ANSI format, the window procedure can still send messages or call functions of either type.

The following messages have text arguments and are subject to automatic text translation. (For information about automatic translation, see Subclassing and Automatic Message Translation.)

CB_ADDSTRING	WM_ASKCBFORMATNAME
CB_DIR	WM_CHAR
CB_FINDSTRING	WM_CHARTOITEM
CB_GETLBTEXT	WM_CREATE
CB_INSERTSTRING	WM_DEADCHAR
CB_SELECTSTRING	WM_DEVMODECHANGE
	WM_GETTEXT
EM_GETLINE	WM_MDICREATE
EM_REPLACESEL	WM_MENUCHAR
EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR	WM_NCCREATE

LB_ADDFILE	WM_SYSCHAR

Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More »
