I need some information on this type that is obviously type defined in the windows header. I really do not wish to post code up for its really to much to ask of someone to look at.

I just need some information on the MSG type, i am using this with creating a window.

I know the functionality of the command but i would like a reliable link of documentation for reliable facts.

Bonus question: When compiling an application does the compiler compile typedefs as their definitions or does the application itself reference that definition?

The first question is more important then the second. Thanks

  • Well, I think you should start with [the reference](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms632590(v=vs.85).aspx) about messages (which includes the MSG structure) from MS itself. – JBL Jul 16 '13 at 21:46
  • Second question: It's the compiler that understands typedefs. – RichieHindle Jul 16 '13 at 21:49

Why do you need information about it? You fill the structure in one function, and then call some other functions with it in the message loop.

If you must know: MSDN: MSG Structure

  • To answer your question, i like to know everything i am writing. You can not truly call yourself a programmer if your inputting code that you have no idea of its ideal functionality. Thank you for your answer i couldn't find it. –  Jul 17 '13 at 08:57
  • @user2588062, it's "ideal functionality" means using it the way it was designed to be used in a message loop. That doesn't require looking inside the structure. – Matt Jul 17 '13 at 09:42
