I took this example of subclassing a Form's HWND as a starting point and then added in jrohde's code from from here that is designed to let you drag a Form by clicking anywhere on it (not on the caption bar). This code fails on the ReleaseCapture()
line with this message: E2283 Use . or -> to call '_fastcall TCommonCustomForm::ReleaseCapture()
If i comment that line out the code runs and i can move the form by left mouse don and drag, but i can't let go of it. The mouse gets stuck to the form like flypaper. If i replace the ReleaseCapture()
with a ShowMessage
i can break out but that is obviously not the way to go...
What do i need to do allow that RestoreCapture()
to run? This is Win32 app.
BELOW IS THE CODE i added to the original switch(uMsg) block:
// two int's defined above the switch statement
static int xClick;
static int yClick;
// new case added to the switch
case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:
SetCapture(hWnd);
xClick = LOWORD(lParam);
yClick = HIWORD(lParam);
break;
case WM_LBUTTONUP:
//ReleaseCapture(); // This is the problem spot <------------------------
ShowMessage("Up");
break;
case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
{
if (GetCapture() == hWnd) //Check if this window has mouse input
{
RECT rcWindow;
GetWindowRect(hWnd,&rcWindow);
int xMouse = LOWORD(lParam);
int yMouse = HIWORD(lParam);
int xWindow = rcWindow.left + xMouse - xClick;
int yWindow = rcWindow.top + yMouse - yClick;
SetWindowPos(hWnd,NULL,xWindow,yWindow,0,0,SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_NOZORDER);
}
break;
