WM_ACTIVATE
The WM_ACTIVATE message is sent when a window is being activated or
deactivated. This message is sent first to the window procedure of the top-level window
being deactivated; it is then sent to the window procedure of the top-level
window being activated.
WM_ACTIVATE
fActive = LOWORD(wParam); // activation flag
fMinimized = (BOOL) HIWORD(wParam); // minimized flag
hwndPrevious = (HWND) lParam; // window handle
Parameters
fActive
Value of the low-order word of wParam. Specifies whether the window is being activated or deactivated. This
parameter can be one of the following values:
Value
| Meaning
| WA_ACTIVE
| Activated by some method other than a mouse click (for example, by a call to
the SetActiveWindow function or by use of the keyboard interface to select the window).
| WA_CLICKACTIVE
| Activated by a mouse click.
| WA_INACTIVE
| Deactivated.
|
fMinimized
Value of the high-order word of wParam. Specifies the minimized state of the window being activated or deactivated.
A nonzero value indicates the window is minimized.
hwndPrevious
Value of lParam. Identifies the window being activated or deactivated, depending on the value
of the fActive parameter. If the value of fActive is WA_INACTIVE, hwndPrevious is the handle of the window being activated. If the value of fActive is WA_ACTIVE or WA_CLICKACTIVE, hwndPrevious is the handle of the window being deactivated. This handle can be NULL.
Return Values
If an application processes this message, it should return zero.
Default Action
If the window is being activated and is not minimized, the DefWindowProc function sets the keyboard focus to the window.
Remarks
If the window is activated by a mouse click, it also receives a
WM_MOUSEACTIVATE message.

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 » |
