FontDialog.HookProc(IntPtr, Int32, IntPtr, IntPtr) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Forms

Assembly:

System.Windows.Forms.dll

Specifies the common dialog box hook procedure that is overridden to add specific functionality to a common dialog box.

protected:
 override IntPtr HookProc(IntPtr hWnd, int msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam);

protected override IntPtr HookProc (IntPtr hWnd, int msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam);

override this.HookProc : nativeint * int * nativeint * nativeint -> nativeint

Protected Overrides Function HookProc (hWnd As IntPtr, msg As Integer, wparam As IntPtr, lparam As IntPtr) As IntPtr

Parameters

hWnd

IntPtr

nativeint

The handle to the dialog box window.

msg

Int32

The message being received.

wparam

IntPtr

nativeint

Additional information about the message.

lparam

IntPtr

nativeint

Additional information about the message.

Returns

IntPtr

nativeint

A zero value if the default dialog box procedure processes the message; a nonzero value if the default dialog box procedure ignores the message.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to override the HookProc method. The example consists of a class that inherits the FontDialog class. In the class's HookProc override, the example evaluates the method's msg parameter against constant values for particular Windows messages. If the msg parameter equals the specified constant, the example writes trace output identifying the Windows message that was passed to the HookProc method. This example requires that the class in which the HookProc method is declared inherits the FontDialog class.

Remarks

A hook procedure is a mechanism by which a function can intercept events before they reach an application. When you override the CommonDialog.HookProc method for a CommonDialog class, the operating system invokes your override of the function to post operating system messages to the window.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding HookProc(IntPtr, Int32, IntPtr, IntPtr) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's HookProc(IntPtr, Int32, IntPtr, IntPtr) method.
