CWnd::OnActivate

  • Article

afx_msg void OnActivate( UINT nState**, CWnd*** pWndOther**, BOOL** bMinimized );

Parameters

nState

Specifies whether the CWnd is being activated or deactivated. It can be one of the following values:

  • WA_INACTIVE   The window is being deactivated.

  • WA_ACTIVE   The window is being activated through some method other than a mouse click (for example, by use of the keyboard interface to select the window).

  • WA_CLICKACTIVE   The window is being activated by a mouse click.

pWndOther

Pointer to the CWnd being activated or deactivated. The pointer can be NULL, and it may be temporary.

bMinimized

Specifies the minimized state of the CWnd being activated or deactivated. A value of TRUE indicates the window is minimized.

If TRUE, the CWnd is being activated; otherwise deactivated.

Remarks

The framework calls this member function when a CWnd object is being activated or deactivated. First, the main window being deactivated has OnActivate called, and then the main window being activated has OnActivate called.

If the CWnd object is activated with a mouse click, it will also receive an OnMouseActivate member function call.

Note   This member function is called by the framework to allow your application to handle a Windows message. The parameters passed to your function reflect the parameters received by the framework when the message was received. If you call the base-class implementation of this function, that implementation will use the parameters originally passed with the message and not the parameters you supply to the function.
