MFC Classes Hierarchy[edit | edit source]

CObject[edit | edit source]

The root/base class for most of the MFC library. Some of the features it makes available to the programmer are serialization support, run-time class information, and object diagnostic output. Any derived class from CObject, can exploit these features.

This class encapsulates the functionality of a control bars that have a row of bitmapped buttons and/or separators. CToolBar objects are usually embedded members of frame-window objects derived from the class CFrameWnd or MDIFrameWnd.

Window message route[edit | edit source]

The mechanism by which MFC routes messages is also called the Message Map system that was created to wrap the old C API and reduce the level of complexity for programmers.

// a Message Map example

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP( ClNOMainFrameWnd, CFrameWnd )
  ON_WM_SYSCOMMAND()
  ON_WM_CREATE()
  ON_WM_SIZE()
  ON_WM_CLOSE()
  ON_WM_MEASUREITEM()
  ON_WM_INITMENUPOPUP()
  ON_WM_MENUCHAR()
  ON_WM_DESTROY()

  ON_REGISTERED_MESSAGE( D_WM_REQUEST, OnMsgReqToShowWnd )

  ON_COMMAND( ID_APP_TRAYCLICK, OnTrayClick )
  ON_MESSAGE( C_WM_TIPACTION, OnTipOfTheDayAction )

END_MESSAGE_MAP()

Message map[edit | edit source]

The message map macros:

ON_COMMAND and ON_BN_CLICKED
the ON_COMMAND and ON_BN_CLICKED are the same, MFC command and control macro is preset to handle the Windows message WM_COMMAND and the notification routing mechanism uses the command ID to decide where to route to. Notifications with control notification code of zero (BN_CLICKED) are interpreted as commands.
ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI
the ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI macro.
