The latest version of this topic can be found at Window Class Macros.

These macros define window class utilities.

DECLARE_WND_CLASS Allows you to specify the name of a new window class.
DECLARE_WND_SUPERCLASS Allows you to specify the name of an existing window class on which a new window class will be based.
DECLARE_WND_CLASS_EX Allows you to specify the parameters of a class.

DECLARE_WND_CLASS

Allows you to specify the name of a new window class. Place this macro in an ATL ActiveX control's control class.

DECLARE_WND_CLASS(Â
    WndClassName Â)

Parameters

WndClassName
[in] The name of the new window class. If NULL, ATL will generate a window class name.

Remarks

This macro allows you to specify the name of a new window class whose information will be managed by CWndClassInfo. DECLARE_WND_CLASS defines the new window class by implementing the following static function:

static CWndClassInfo& GetWndClassInfo();

DECLARE_WND_CLASS specifies the following styles for the new window:

  • CS_HREDRAW

  • CS_VREDRAW

  • CS_DBLCLKS

DECLARE_WND_CLASS also specifies the default window's background color. Use the DECLARE_WND_CLASS_EX macro to provide your own styles and background color.

CWindowImpl uses the DECLARE_WND_CLASS macro to create a window based on a new window class. To override this behavior, use the DECLARE_WND_SUPERCLASS macro, or provide your own implementation of the GetWndClassInfo function.

For more information about using windows in ATL, see the article ATL Window Classes.

DECLARE_WND_SUPERCLASS

Allows you to specify the parameters of a class. Place this macro in an ATL ActiveX control's control class.

DECLARE_WND_SUPERCLASS(Â
    WndClassName, Â
    OrigWndClassName Â)

Parameters

WndClassName
[in] The name of the window class that will superclass OrigWndClassName. If NULL, ATL will generate a window class name.

OrigWndClassName
[in] The name of an existing window class.

Remarks

This macro allows you to specify the name of a window class that will superclass an existing window class. CWndClassInfo manages the information of the superclass.

DECLARE_WND_SUPERCLASS implements the following static function:

static CWndClassInfo& GetWndClassInfo();

By default, CWindowImpl uses the DECLARE_WND_CLASS macro to create a window based on a new window class. By specifying the DECLARE_WND_SUPERCLASS macro in a CWindowImpl-derived class, the window class will be based on an existing class but will use your window procedure. This technique is called superclassing.

Besides using the DECLARE_WND_CLASS and DECLARE_WND_SUPERCLASS macros, you can override the GetWndClassInfo function with your own implementation.

For more information about using windows in ATL, see the article ATL Window Classes.

DECLARE_WND_CLASS_EX

Allows you to specify the name of an existing window class on which a new window class will be based. Place this macro in an ATL ActiveX control's control class.

DECLARE_WND_CLASS_EX(Â
    WndClassName, Â
    style, Â
    bkgnd Â)

Parameters

WndClassName
[in] The name of the new window class. If NULL, ATL will generate a window class name.

style
[in] The style of the window.

bkgnd
[in] The background color of the window.

Remarks

This macro allows you to specify the class parameters of a new window class, whose information will be managed by CWndClassInfo. DECLARE_WND_CLASS_EX defines the new window class by implementing the following static function:

static CWndClassInfo& GetWndClassInfo();

If you want to use the default styles and background color, use the DECLARE_WND_CLASS macro. For more information about using windows in ATL, see the article ATL Window Classes.
