I've added an IMessageFilter to my app but I don't get messages or I get only a few and then it stops. My code is very simple. Am I
doing something wrong?
public class MF : IMessageFilter
{
public MF()
{
}
public bool PreFilterMessag e(ref Message m)
{
if(m.Msg == 15)
{
Console.WriteLi ne("Paint");
}
return false;
}
}
and
Application.Add MessageFilter(n ew MF());
I've tried putting this in different locations, such as void Main, Form_Load etc

Hi,
A simple test runs fine here, can't say what you're doing wrong.
There must be a message loop (Application.Ru n/ Modal form). Try putting
this in the static main method:
Application.Add MessageFilter( new MF() );
Application.Run ( new MainForm() );
You can not place AddMessage after Run, because Run is the message loop,
which doesn't stop until the app is closed.
If you only place Application.Run ( new MainForm() ) in the main method,
it should work if you call Application.Add MessageFilter from any
control/form event.

Does it send you the paint message every time your form is painted, eg if another windows is dragged over it. On mine I get a few
paint messages at the start and then nothing.

Yes, it does. With your MF class, I get correct nr of paint messages.
On mine I get a few paint messages at the start and then nothing.
Can't help you more, is there anything special about the app ? Have you
tried it with a new project ? On a different machine, etc....

Thanks for the reply.
I've found the problem, not sure if it is a bug or not. Every time I was testing the message filter I was testing it by moving the
form off the edge of the screen and back on to get it to fire paint messages. For some reason when you are moving the form the
IMessageFilter stops working and it misses all messages. If I override the WndProc of the form it gets all the messages but the
IMessageFilter does not. Any ideas what's going on?

It doesn't seem to get WM_COPYDATA messages either or any message sent from another app. Basically it seems to drop so many messages
that it is unusable.

This has to do with the difference between posting or sending messsages.
* Posted messages are added to the queue and eventually dispatched in order
by the message loop.
* Sended messages are handled differently.
- If you sent a message to a window from the thread that created the window
then the wndproc is directly called like a subroutine.
- Sended messages form different threads execute the wndproc when the
message loop queries for a new message, but they are not dispatched by the
message loop, windows does it transparantly.

Looks like it is not going to work for me because I am after the WM_COPYDATA message and this seems to be sent on a different thread
and an IMessageFilter will only work on one thread. I am currently overriding WndProc but it seems to play funny buggers with a com
component I am using so I was looking for a different solution.
Thanks for your help.

I set up an IMessageFilter in an attempt to trap the WM_QUIT message from a

come?
I also get a number of messages that are way outside of the windows message
range.
(C0F0, C0F3, 2100) and others. I am guessing that these are .NET messages.
Whatever they are where are they documented and what keyword can I use to
search and find them?
