Dynamic Window and overload functions

[Todor Atanasov]

Hi guys, it is me again.

I have some questions about creating dynamically windows in MFC and calling functions from it.

I create window with
CWnd chils;
child.CreateEx(...);
child.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

But then how to call/overload functions like: OnPaint, OnMouseMove and so on in that window?

You can't add code to CWnd. You can add code to a class you derive from CWnd. If you use the Visual Studio menu commands to add a class derived from CWnd then it will have some skeletal code and a message map. You can add message handlers by clicking on your class's Properties in the class view tab of solution explorer.
