Intercepting windows messages

[yuumei]

Hi, this is my first post on a usergroup, please go easy on me :3

Im trying to intercept some input messages from a windows message loop:

//while (GetMessage(&wmsg, NULL, 0, 0))
//while (PeekMessage(&wmsg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE))
{
CallWindowProc(W32HandleWindowsMessage, hwnd, wmsg.message, wmsg.wParam, wmsg.lParam);
}
 

The GetMessage version seems to break when I get a WM_INPUT message, but then hangs and never gets out of the loop.
The PeekMessage dosent seems to break, so im assuming its not getting the WE_INPUT message.

Am I doing it right? Any pointers?

Thankyouuuu

You need to look up the documentation on GetMessage and PeekMessage (Google is your friend in this).

GetMessage returns true unless the message it is processing is a WM_QUIT message otherwise it returns false. It should probably only be used in your programs main message loop (although there are times when setting up an alternate message loop is done).

PeekMessage only returns true if there was a message waiting in the message queue that it retrieved and returned, otherwise it returns false. since it is likely that most of the time there is not a message waiting it is like that your whole loop is never entered. PeekMessage is not really designed to be used as the control for a while loop but more in an if inside a loop of some sort to allow processing of messages to continue while the loop executes.

Thanks for the advice, I found out that I was already getting the message before that part of the code x_x
So I was getting an empty queue
