Processes Windows messages.

protected:
 virtual void WndProc(System::Windows::Forms::Message % m);

protected virtual void WndProc (ref System.Windows.Forms.Message m);

abstract member WndProc : Message -> unit
override this.WndProc : Message -> unit

Protected Overridable Sub WndProc (ByRef m As Message)

Parameters

m: Message

The Windows Message to process.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates overriding the WndProc method to handle operating system messages identified in the Message structure. The WM_ACTIVATEAPP operating system message is handled in this example to know when another application is becoming active. See the following topics to understand the available Message.Msg, Message.LParam, and Message.WParam values. Actual constant values can be found in the Windows.h header file.

Remarks

All messages are sent to the WndProc method after getting filtered through the PreProcessMessage method.

The WndProc method corresponds exactly to the Windows WindowProc function. For more information about processing Windows messages, see the WindowProc function.

Notes to Inheritors

Inheriting controls should call the base class's WndProc(Message) method to process any messages that they do not handle.
