I'm trying to store HWND pointers in an int vector along with other data, I'm using the following code to get the data and store it on creation:
void createscalingwindow(HWND &cswpara0,DWORD cswpara1,const CHAR* cswpara2,
const CHAR* cswpara3,DWORD cswpara4,int cswpara5,
int cswpara6,int cswpara7,int cswpara8,HWND cswpara9,
HMENU cswpara10,HINSTANCE cswpara11,LPVOID cswpara12)
{
cswpara0 = CreateWindowEx (cswpara1, cswpara2, cswpara3, cswpara4, cswpara5,
cswpara6,cswpara7,cswpara8,cswpara9,cswpara10,
cswpara11,cswpara12);
sizevalues.push_back((int)&cswpara0);
snprintf (buffer, 20,"%d", sizevalues[zero]);
MessageBox (NULL, buffer, "pointer", NULL);
sizevalues.push_back(cswpara5);
sizevalues.push_back(cswpara6);
sizevalues.push_back(cswpara7);
sizevalues.push_back(cswpara8);
return;
}
This following code is a prototype that currently only shows the values in a messagebox, but I later plan to have it resize child windows to scale with the parent
void scalewindowsize (HWND &ownerwin, HWND &childwin)
{
/*check owner window*/
char buffer[100];
int checknumber = 0;
while (checknumber < sizevalues.size())
{
if (sizevalues[checknumber] == (int)&ownerwin)
{
snprintf (buffer, 100,"%d", sizevalues[checknumber]);
MessageBox (NULL, buffer, "foundit", NULL);
break;
}
snprintf (buffer, 20,"%d", (int)&ownerwin);
checknumber = (checknumber + 5);
MessageBox (NULL, buffer, "fail", NULL);
}
return;
}
The problem is that the first Messagebox
in createscalingwindow
produces a value of 4235304 while the second one produces an entirely different number (the number varies). Why is this?
UPDATE: Found out part of the cause, in order to reproduce this the HWND used as a parameter to scalewindowsize
must be used in a window procedure with the same parameter HWND in that window procedure.
