Message Structure
[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
Implements a Windows-based message.
Namespace: Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms
Assembly: Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms (in Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Structure Message
'Usage
Dim instance As Message
public struct Message
public value class Message
[<SealedAttribute>]
type Message = struct end
Remarks
The Message structure wraps messages that Windows sends. You can use this structure to wrap a message and assign it to the window procedure to be dispatched.
You cannot directly create the Message structure. To create a Message structure, use the Create method. For efficiency, the Message structure uses any existing structures from its pool instead of creating an instance of a new one.
Examples
The following code example creates and sends a Windows-based message with the identifier of WM_CUSTOMMSG. The message is given the handle of a message window, named MsgWin, to which it sends the messages. The message contains values for the WParam and LParam parameters, which in this example are current x and y mouse coordinates as obtained from MouseEventArgs, e, in an OnMouseMove method.
This code example is part of a larger example provided for the MessageWindow component.
[Visual Basic]
Dim msg As Message = Message.Create(MsgWin.Hwnd,
MsgWindow.WM_CUSTOMMSG, New IntPtr(e.X), New IntPtr(e.Y))
MessageWindow.SendMessage(msg)
[C#]
Message msg = Message.Create(MsgWin.Hwnd,
MsgWindow.WM_CUSTOMMSG, (IntPtr)e.X, (IntPtr)e.Y);
MessageWindow.SendMessage(ref msg);

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
