END_MSG_MAP( )

Remarks

Marks the end of a message map. Always use the BEGIN_MSG_MAP macro to mark the beginning of a message map. Use ALT_MSG_MAP to declare subsequent alternate message maps. The following example shows the default message map and one alternate message map, each containing one handler function:

BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CMyClass)
   MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_PAINT, OnPaint)
ALT_MSG_MAP(1)
   MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_SETFOCUS, OnSetFocus)
END_MSG_MAP()

The next example shows two alternate message maps. The default message map is empty.

BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CMyClass)
ALT_MSG_MAP(1)
   MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_PAINT, OnPaint)
   MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_SETFOCUS, OnSetFocus)
ALT_MSG_MAP(2)
   MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_CREATE, OnCreate)
END_MSG_MAP()

Note that there is always exactly one instance of BEGIN_MSG_MAP and END_MSG_MAP.
