Generate Message dialog response

Question

Generate Message dialog response

John 506

I need some examples regarding the following built-in methods:

GetWindowMesssageA, and GetWindowMessage method.

Which dynamic link library or header file would I need to include, and how to access them. Should I need to perform marshaling?

I can't find any such functions in Microsoft's documentation of the Windows API. What is the source of your information?

Windows header file.

Do you see anything that has to do with the functions you are searching for information about? And the image seems to be for a Windows Form application written in C++/CLI.

lets try a different approach. What are you trying to accomplish?

What I am trying to accomplish, for example: when user clicks on a command bar on a form, a dialog box appears.

Since you are working with Windows forms I suggest you refer to the dialog box documentation here dialog-boxes-in-windows-forms

For a Dialog Box in resources, DialogBox also works in C++/CLI
((HWND)this->Handle.ToPointer() for 3rd parameter)
But it is cleaner to stay in Winforms, to avoid mixing Win32/ .NET resources/code

Okay. Can you or anyone else provide me more detail?
Would I need to include at most a few lines of code for a Dialog Box after I create a header file?

Could the Message Box functions require users to include a winuser.h header file?

I have searched and queued in everywhere on all of the search engines; nothing but mixed results.

Besides, I have ordered a few books online; they are on the way.

Hi @John ,

Since I see that you use C++/CLI, you could create a button control and use the control to generate a dialog box, you could refer to my code.

private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {  

	Form dlg1;  
	dlg1.ShowDialog();  
}

Best regards,

Elya
