Remarks
User-defined messages are any messages that are not standard Windows WM_MESSAGE messages. When selecting a message ID, you must use values within the range of WM_USER (0x0400) to 0x7FFF or WM_APP (0x8000) to 0xBFFF. For more information regarding message IDs, see WM_APP.
There should be exactly one ON_MESSAGE macro statement in your message map for every user-defined message that must be mapped to a message-handler function.
Nota
In addition to user-defined messages, ON_MESSAGE handles less common Windows messages. For more information, see Knowledge Base article 99848: INFO: Use ON_MESSAGE() Macro to Map Less-Common Messages.
