SYMPTOMS
When you create an ActiveX control dynamically via CWnd::CreateControl(), your window's message-handlers in the CWnd-derived class will not be called. For example, if you create a handler for WM_KILLFOCUS [OnKillFocus()] in the CWnd-derived class of a Microsoft Masked Edit control, it will not be called.
CAUSE
CWnd::CreateControl() doesn't subclass the HWND associated with the control.
RESOLUTION
For message-handlers to be called, the CWnd-derived class needs to subclass the HWND. You can do this by calling SubclassDlgItem(). Calling SubclassDlgItem() right after CreateControl() will cause an assert because CreateControl() previously called CWnd::Attach(). SubclassDlgItem() will call Attach() again. To avoid this assert, we need to call Detach() first before calling SubclassDlgItem() as follows:
// m_MaskEdit is the Microsoft Masked Edit control and 100 is // its resource ID. m_MaskEdit.Create("", WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | WS_TABSTOP, CRect(0,0,100,25), this, 100); m_MaskEdit.Detach(); m_MaskEdit.SubclassDlgItem(100, this);
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
To set up a message handler for WM_KILLFOCUS in the CWnd-derived class of Microsoft Masked Edit control, you'll need to add the following lines to the header file:
afx_msg void OnKillFocus(CWnd* pNewWnd); DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
The following lines go in the .CPP file:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMSMask, CWnd) ON_WM_KILLFOCUS() END_MESSAGE_MAP() void CMSMask::OnKillFocus(CWnd* pNewWnd) { TRACE ("CMSMask::OnKillFocus\n"); }
When you insert an ActiveX control via Component Gallery, the Visual C++ wrapper class has Create() functions that end up calling CWnd::CreateControl().
