Plus, to avoid that a info of one specifc control is gone forever i´m posting here the 3 major articles i found about "commctrl_DragListMsg"

Btw. Some of their Labels are not the same as in Windows C sources i have. I labeled all as "WC_" to make easier to understand what it is

If someone find more, please post here to we fill the list :)

[dedndave]

some of the classes have "official" constant names that do not have a WC_ prefix
of course, the constant names are of little use in assembler   :P
we need a zero-terminated string to use them (except for the class atoms)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb775491%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
notice the Community Additions section
it mentions that they are defined in commctrl.h
i am using XP, and an older PSDK, so it wouldn't do much good for me to look it up
but, you may find more if you look in the newer (win7/8) PSDK's

that brings up an interesting "flaw" in windows constants
the WC_ prefix is used for some of the Window Classes, but not most of them
the same WC_ prefix is also used for a few specific "WideChar" defines (WideCharToMultiByte flag constants)
a little confusing - and something MS doesn't usually do (use the same prefix for different things)

the one you have listed as WC_DIALOGBOX “#32770” is officially named WC_DIALOG

Code: [Select]

#define WC_DIALOG (MAKEINTATOM(0x8002))  ;make integer class atom C macro

Hi dave

Tks

THis link is one from where i retrieved the information. I also saw in my sources from win2k, winNT and winXP research kernel, but i don´t have from win7/8. Where to dl the newer psdk files ? I mean, is there some place where i can dl them without installing ? For example, a rar file containing the headers and sources etc ?

About the names, yes...All are null terminated strings. Even WC_DIALOG have a equivalent string name "#32770" and not only an atom.

Here i didn´t created the Unicode Form. I only searched for their names while i was testing a ColorPicker example that Steve uploaded, but i´ll try later put the Unicode Counterpart.

For the colorpicker example, i´m trying to create a few functions to subclass the windows forms allowing the usage of colors, fonts, images on them. This would be good for the next updatesi plan to RosAsm that will convert a dialog resources in Windows Forms, but allowing colors, images etc, as we see in VB or Delphi.

MS don't seem to want to offer an SDK iso anymore (at least I couldn't find one), and the small exe downloader they give will insist on installing .Net 4.5 before telling you it wont install the headers/libs if you're not on Win 8. Anyway, I mined the component URLs and made my own ISO. The links to the individual components are there too so you don't have to d/l 565MB for just two things. It contains everything the installer can download though, not a dump of the headers/libs.

I'm kind of in awe as how they've made what are essentially a bunch of text files and a few libs require a total of 29 installers, 19 installer patches, and 110 cabs.

Amazing. TKS TKS TKS  :t :t :t

Since I guess most will just want the h/lib's, I ripped just the bare installed SDK directory I've put it here (22 MB 7z expanding to 280 MB) since I've forgotten my mega password.

[dedndave]

you can get the ISO's for windows 7

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/desktop/ff851942.aspx

it's probably not required to create the UNICODE versions
in assembler, we have to create a string, anyways
so, if a programmer wants a UNICODE class name string, he'll probably use a macro

[dedndave]

these are from the win7-32 bit (dotnet 4) PSDK

there are 2 versions - one is international, i think

[guga]

Many tks guys

I´ll try to organize them to search for more classes

Btw. The exe files from win8 (The 22Mb file) also works on winXP :icon_mrgreen:

[dedndave]

i have visual studio 2005 installed
if you install one of the newer PSDK's (win7+), VS2005 won't work properly
at least, that's what i've read in the installation notes

i have a 2003 PSDK installed, and i don't want it messed up   :P

    Hi guys. Could someone type down the actual class names for the common-controls, like : ToolbarWindow32",0 - or point to a thread where it's written.
    thanks.

ToolbarWindow32 is an actual class name. Are you looking for a #define of it?

[AW]

I type with 2 fingers and keep glancing at them and at the monitor. 
But i met really impressive typists ablte to talk with you while typing. None of them was a programmer. 

Oops, wrong thread. Sorry, daydreamer.
