Hi,
I am following tutorial and trying to do following...Use ClassWizard to set up a message handler for WM_TIMER:
I got the screen shot of what I need to do. I have vs 8 running.Only way i know how to access class wizard is if I click on control on my dialog and then right click to add variable or class but I never seen when I invoke class wizard anything like I have on this screen shot. How do I access this class wizard.
Thanks
Class Wizard is from VC6.
How do I get this in vs 8
Class Wizard Dialog is no longer available after VC6.Quote:

Depending on how you define a method. For me OnTimer is not a method, it is a message handler (one of the elements of static function array). It is called by the framework to allow you to handle windows messages.
In VS later than 6, in a class view select class you want to add a message handler and invoke properties.
You will have several buttons at the top of property box
Press button pointed by the arrow and select a message you want to handle.
No, you can still code it by hand without the class wizard.Quote:

ON_WM_TIMER()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
void CMyDlg::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}
Of course, you can. You can also write entire application without MFC or you can manually enter DDX calls. A question is WHY bother, if you have a tools to do it for you, so instead wasting time on reinventing a wheel you can spend time to write robust code.Quote:
