many buttons

is there some sort of limit of how many buttons you can have in the WM_COMMAND event?? i dont think so, but how come this doesn't work:

Code:

---

        case WM_COMMAND:        //click events
                {
                        if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bLed[0])
                        {
                                paConfig(1);
                        }
                        if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bLed[1])
                        {
                                paConfig(2);
                        }
                        if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bLed[2])
                        {
                                paConfig(3);
                        }
                        if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bLed[3])
                        {
                                paConfig(4);
                        }
                        if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bLed[4])
                        {
                                paConfig(5);
                        }
                        if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bLed[5])
                        {
                                paConfig(6);
                        }
                        if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bLed[6])
                        {
                                paConfig(7);
                        }
                        if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bLed[7])
                        {
                                paConfig(8);
                        }
                        if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bReset)
                        {
                                paReset();
                        }
                        if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bAllOn)
                        {
                                SendMessage(myhwnd, WM_COMMAND, (WPARAM)BN_CLICKED, (LPARAM)bLed[7]);
                        }
                }
                break;

the event when clicked bAllOn is not executed..how come? if i switch the event from bAllOn with the one from bReset, it works..
whats wrong??
Thanks

Code:

---

SendMessage(myhwnd, WM_COMMAND, (WPARAM)BN_CLICKED, (LPARAM)bLed[7]);

---

Try sending a different message. Perhaps WM_LMOUSEDOWN (or whatever, don't remember) followed by mouse-up?

hmm weird... anything i put in there doesn't seem to be executed..i tried calling other functions from my program, but doesn't work..
this buton(bAllOn) is suppoed to call this

Code:

---

  paOutput(255);

---

but it doesn't work

wow this is just shouting for a loop huh ;) :p

you haven't seen the control creation.. LOL
i have thought about it, but my loop didn't work for the windows creation..
is it possible to have a loop here though? in the WM_COMMAND?

sure...in my checkers game I had a control array up there...works like a charm :D

steve, could you please show me the how you used the array in the WM_COMMAND message? thanks

PHP Code:

---

int i; //this is the loop variable

case WM_COMMAND:    //click events
        {
for(i=1; i<=7;i++)  {
            if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bLed[i])
            {
                paConfig(i+1);
            }
}
            if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bReset)
            {
                paReset();
            }
            if ((LOWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED) && (HWND)lParam == bAllOn)
            {
                SendMessage(myhwnd, WM_COMMAND, (WPARAM)BN_CLICKED, (LPARAM)bLed[7]);
            }
        }
        break;

I typed this up in a minute or two...so there might be an error I missed....try that out. :D

See now isn't that so much nicer? :D

great..i am gonna try it..Thanks a lot =)

great..i am gonna try it..Thanks a lot :)

NOTE: i edited the code so use the new code when you read this :)

man...still doesn't work for the bAllOn stuff...but anyways thanks..
i'll try to fix it :)

Just a small comment on your code:

Instead of repeatedly checking for BN_CLICKED, you could create a condition similar to the following.

Code:

---

case WM_COMMAND:
    if( HIWORD(wParam) == BN_CLICKED ) {
        if( (HWND)lParam == hwndButton ) {
            // ...

---

I just noticed something: You are checking the LOWORD of wParam for BN_CLICKED. BN_CLICKED is a notification, message, thus you should be checking the HIWORD instead.

man!! stil does't work..i dont understand...everything else works, except this button :(

thats really weird..i changed the name from bAll to bTotal, and it worked....weird =)
