Topic: Markup and CXTPDockingPane

I've got a simple object that subclasses CWnd and also inherits from CXTPMarkupContext:

class CMarkupWindow: public CWnd , public CXTPMarkupContext

It simply creates & draws markup similar to how MarkupPadView.cpp does it.

Now, I'm assuming I need to pass windows messages like LBUTTONDOWN, MOUSEMOUSE, etc. to the markup via CXTPMarkupContext::OnWndMsg() so that the markup actually responds to user input.

The problem: When I define and use OnWndMsg() in my class it's not getting any mouse events when it's attached to a CXTPDockingPane. It appears that the CXTPDockingPane is eating them when I log windows messages via spy++.

Do I need to do something different to catch windows messages in my object when it's attached to a docking pane?

Hi,

DockingPane can't eat them. Maybe you Create window as "STATIC" control and don't add SS_NOTIFY?

Show your OnWndMsg code .

Adding SS_NOTIFY solved the problem. Thanks for the tip, Oleg. The XAML markup stuff is great. Looking forward to additional XAML controls and support in future versions.
