How can I center a Dialog Box over main program window position? - c

I've got this code to open an InputBox defined on a DLL that get HMODULE that I save on hInstance variable when main program calls. How can I center it over the main program window?
It occurs that doesn't work and shows the DialogBox on top left on Screen or on top left of program window randomly.
#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"
char IB_res[10];
double defaultValue = 0;

{
switch(msg)

if (defaultValue != -1)
SetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_EDIT, (LPCSTR)(my_printf("%f", defaultValue).c_str()));
else
SetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_EDIT, (LPCSTR)"");
return TRUE;
case WM_COMMAND:
switch(LOWORD(wParam))
{
case IDOK:
if (!GetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_EDIT, IB_res, 10))
*IB_res = 0;
case IDCANCEL:
EndDialog(hwnd, wParam);
break;
}
break;
default:
return FALSE;
}
return TRUE;
}
DWORD processId;
HWND hwndParent;
BOOL CALLBACK enumWindowsProc(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam)
{

return TRUE;

Message queue for two cpp file with windows API

To send the message in the Queue from one source file and get the message in another source file.I read the docs from Microsoft and try to implement as below
test2.c - post the message
main.c - get the Message

Custom WM_APP message isn't posted in the message queue

I am trying to send a custom message (WM_APP + 1) when WM_SIZE is send to the window procedure. I want to be able to catch it from an other function using PeekMessage and do somethings. But when I test it the messages seem to not be send to the queue. Adding some printf statements shows me that it goes to the window procedure. The weird thing is that when I step through the code in the debugger it works fine but when I'm running normally, it goes back to not working.
Working example program with the problem, resize the window to test:
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

I tried doing this with SendMessage instead of PeekMessage but the same thing happened. Not sure what I'm missing or misunderstanding but any help is appreciated!
EDIT: added a complete working program that reproduces the problem
Thank you for the example code.
The behaviour you're seeing is because when the window is being resized using the mouse, the OS enters a modal message loop to process mouse input. During this loop, your message loop doesn't run - which means your PeekMessage() and the special message handling doesn't run either. Instead, messages are simply dispatched as normal to your window procedure.
There are two solutions that come to mind immediately but how you deal with this really depends on the design of your program and why you want to process size events in this way.
The first idea I had is to keep track of whether you're in a modal sizing loop or not, and defer posting the notification message until the loop is finished. An example of how to do that using your provided window procedure is below.
The second solution is to simply call your resize event handler directly whenever you get WM_SIZE (or, if you must go through the event system, put the handler for it in the window procedure rather than using PostMessage).
Example code for the first suggestion:
LRESULT CALLBACK obgpf_DefaultWindowCallback(HWND window, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
LRESULT result = 0;
static bool fResized = false;
static bool fInSizeLoop = false;
switch(message)
{
case WM_CLOSE:
{
PostMessageA(window, WM_QUIT, 0, 0);
} break;
//this should be handled by OBGGetEvent
case OBG_WM_RESIZE:
{
printf("MESSAGE WENT THROUGH. DON'T WANT THIS\n");
} break;
case WM_SIZE:
{
if (fInSizeLoop) // in modal size loop, defer notification
fResized = true;
else
PostMessageA(window, OBG_WM_RESIZE, wParam, lParam);
} break;
case WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE:
fInSizeLoop = true; // begin modal size loop
break;
case WM_EXITSIZEMOVE:
fInSizeLoop = false; // left modal size loop
// post resize notification now
if (fResized) {
RECT rc;
GetClientRect(window, &rc);
PostMessageA(window, OBG_WM_RESIZE, 0, MAKELPARAM(rc.right - rc.left, rc.bottom - rc.top));
fResized = false;
}
break;
default:
{
result = DefWindowProc(window, message, wParam, lParam);
} break;
}
return result;
}
(sorry, this is C++ code and I just noticed you had tagged as C - but the principle is the same).

Why do I get a WM_MOUSELEAVE after enabling window?

After enabling a disabled child window, I try to turn mouse tracking on in WM_ENABLE only if mouse cursor is hovering over the window using TrackMouseEvent() with dwFlags of TRACKMOUSEEVENT structure set to TME_LEAVE. TrackMouseEvent() returns TRUE, but then right after calling it I get a WM_MOUSELEAVE message. This happens only under 2 conditions. With first condition, move cursor outside of child window, press Enter key to disable the window, then move cursor over the child window and press the Space key. With second condition, move the cursor over window, press Enter key to disable it, then before pressing the Space key move the cursor 1 pixel or more and then press the Space key. If you retest the second condition, but instead of moving cursor before you press the Space key, if you press the Space key right after you press the Enter key, mouse tracking is turned on properly. I've tried really hard to fix this but I've not been lucky so far. Can somebody please fix this code and explain why mouse tracking is being canceled when I'm trying to turn it on?

EDIT: You can't see the cursor in the pictures cause I used screen capture and it doesn't capture the cursor. In the first picture the cursor is outside of the child window and in the second picture the cursor is inside of the child window
ENTER key pressed when cursor is outside of child window
SPACE key pressed after the ENTER key was previously pressed and cursor is hovering over child window
I don't know if this is a shortcoming of the documentation or a bug in TrackMouseEvent, but it looks like TrackMouseEvent doesn't expect to be called within your WM_ENABLE handler.
To avoid that, try posting a message from WM_ENABLE and calling TrackMouseEvent from that:

how to handle click event in win32 API?

I have created a simple win 32 application..in which it has a textbox and a button in a dialog window..first when I created this..it didnt display the dialog window and then what I did is added the code below to handle the close(WM_CLOSE) of the dialog window...but I want to know, how to handle the button click event..
void ValidatePassword(CString encryptedPassword)
{
//create password dialog window
CreateEvent(NULL,true,false,L"TestEvent");
MSG msg;
HWND hwnd = CreateWindowEx(0,WC_DIALOG,L"Security Alert",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW|WS_VISIBLE,
600,300,300,200,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);
//create label
CreateWindowEx(NULL,L"Static",L"Requires Password to Run the File:", WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE,
10,25,300,20,hwnd,(HMENU)label_id,NULL,NULL);
//create textboxcontrol within the dialog
CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,L"EDIT",L"",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE | ES_PASSWORD,
10,50,125,25,hwnd,(HMENU)textbox_id,NULL,NULL);
//create button
HWND button = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,L"Button",L"OK",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE,
10,100,100,25,hwnd,(HMENU)button_id,NULL,NULL);
ShowWindow (hwnd, SW_SHOW);
UpdateWindow(hwnd);
//SetWindowLong(button,DWL_DLGPROC, (long)myProc);
while(GetMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0))
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
LRESULT WINAPI myProc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
HWND hwndButton;
switch (message)
{
/* Handles all Windows Messages */
case WM_COMMAND:
{
if(((HWND)lParam) && (HIWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED))
{
int iMID;
iMID = LOWORD(wParam);
switch(iMID)
{
case button_id:
{
MessageBox(hwnd, (LPCTSTR)"You just pushed me!", (LPCTSTR) "My Program!", MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
break;
}
default:
break;
}
}
break;
}
case WM_DESTROY:
{
PostQuitMessage (0); /* send a WM_QUIT to Message Queue, to shut off program */
break;
}
}
return 0;
}
Yikes.
It should not be necessary to call SetWindowLong to set the dialog proc for a dialog. Your "simple" program should look something like
#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"
BOOL CALLBACK myProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch(uMsg)
{
case WM_INITDIALOG:
return TRUE;
case WM_COMMAND:
if( LOWORD(wParam) == IDCLOSE) // close button click
EndDialog(hwnd,0);
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}
int CALLBACK WinMain(HINSTANCE hExe,HINSTANCE,LPCSTR,INT)
{
return DialogBox(hExe,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG),NULL,myProc);
}
Check for WM_COMMAND. LOWORD(wParam) will be your control ID and lParam will be your hWnd for the button.

Screen is flickering even when using doublebuffering

I am totally new in programming.
For my first programm I tried to make a small game in c with windows api.
the following code is a nearly working snake, (some bugs not fixed yet)
but i cant find a working solution to fix that flickering.
(I dont know double Buffering so I just took from here: [http://www.codeguru.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-272723.html][1]

Add one case to your main switch statement in WndProc:
case WM_ERASEBKGND:
