Supporting the Screen Saver Window Procedure
Each screen saver must support a window procedure named ScreenSaverProc. Like most window procedures, ScreenSaverProc processes a set of specific messages and passes any unprocessed messages to a
default procedure. However, instead of passing them to the DefWindowProc function, ScreenSaverProc passes unprocessed messages to the DefScreenSaverProc function. Another difference between ScreenSaverProc and a normal window procedure is that the handle passed to ScreenSaverProc identifies the entire desktop rather than a client window. The following
example shows the ScreenSaverProc window procedure for the sample screen saver.
LONG WINAPI ScreenSaverProc(hwnd, message, wParam, lParam)
HWND hwnd;
UINT message;
DWORD wParam;
LONG lParam;
{
static HDC hdc; /* device-context handle */
static RECT rc; /* RECT structure */
static UINT uTimer; /* timer identifier */
switch(message)
{
case WM_CREATE:
/* Retrieve the application name from the .RC file. */
LoadString(hMainInstance, idsAppName, szAppName, 40);
/* Retrieve the .INI (or registry) filename. */
LoadString(hMainInstance, idsIniFile, szIniFile,
MAXFILELEN);
/* Retrieve any redraw-speed data from the registry. */
lSpeed = GetPrivateProfileInt(szAppName, szRedrawSpeed,
DEFVEL, szIniFile);
/*
* Set a timer for the screen saver window using the
* redraw-rate stored in REGEDIT.INI.
*/
uTimer = SetTimer(hwnd, 1, lSpeed * 1000, NULL);
break;
case WM_ERASEBKGND:
/*
* The WM_ERASEBKGND message is issued before the
* WM_TIMER message, allowing the screen saver to
* paint the background as appropriate.
*/
hdc = GetDC(hwnd);
GetClientRect (hwnd, &rc);
FillRect (hdc, &rc, GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH));
ReleaseDC(hwnd,hdc);
break;
case WM_TIMER:
/*
* The WM_TIMER message is issued at (lSpeed * 1000)
* intervals, where lSpeed == .001 seconds. This
* code repaints the entire desktop with a white,
* light gray, dark gray, or black brush each
* time a WM_TIMER message is issued.
*/
hdc = GetDC(hwnd);
GetClientRect(hwnd, &rc);
if (i++ <= 4)
FillRect(hdc, &rc, GetStockObject(i));
else
(i = 0);
ReleaseDC(hwnd,hdc);
break;
case WM_DESTROY:
/*
* When the WM_DESTROY message is issued, the screen saver
* must destroy any of the timers that were set at WM_CREATE
* time.
*/
if (uTimer)
KillTimer(hwnd, uTimer);
break;
}
/*
* DefScreenSaverProc processes any messages
* ignored by ScreenSaverProc.
*/
return DefScreenSaverProc(hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. 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 » |
