Might be useful if you see a WM_xx message but don't know the name :cool:

Heh; I have a sorted windows.inc file that I created long ago. Didn't have to go to any programming trouble: just fired up my favorite editor of all time, MultiEdit, selected all the text and told it to sort it. Milliseconds later I had my sorted file (which as you point out is very useful for finding the values of various things).

Unfortunately, MultiEdit no longer runs on Windows (as of Windows 7; it still ran under XP). More's the pity ...

I am sure MultiEdit did it correctly, exactly like the snippet above :thumbsup:

Timo,

I am sure Notepad++ can "sort lines", but I doubt that you'll get this correctly:
HTTP_QUERY_FROM                 equ 31
IMAGE_REL_IA64_ADDEND            equ 001Fh
INTERNET_STATUS_REQUEST_SENT            equ 31
LOCALE_SSHORTDATE                    equ 1Fh
NS_STDA                          equ (31)
...
JOB_OBJECT_UILIMIT_GLOBALATOMS   equ 00000020h
JOB_STATUS_OFFLINE                   equ 20h
LC_STYLED                            equ 32
LLKHF_ALTDOWN           equ 20h
Sorted first by value of the equate, then alphabetically.

Besides, I'm not sure whether I would allow my IDE to sort my code ;-)

Your sorting is a special case, where 'equ' is in line in variable positions.

Yes indeed, that's why I had to write 30 lines of code :biggrin:

I found a bug:
.if Instr_(esi, "equ", 4)  ; full word
should be:
.if Instr_(esi, "equ", 1+4)  ; case insensitive, full word

Corrected above, it finds now 12,975 equates in Windows.inc.

ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED equ (00000001h)
EVENTLOG_SEQUENTIAL_READ equ 0001h
PWR_SUSPENDREQUEST                  equ 1
PropertyTagCellWidth            EQU 108h
PropertyTagThumbnailImageDescription    EQU 5025h

Welllll, I guess I'm on the receiving end of some sarcasm here (early in the am so hard to tell). No matter: MultiEdit just did a plain, I guess you'd call it a "lexicographical" sort, which is all I wanted. I don't care if the EQUates are sorted in numerical order: all I wanted was a sorted list of names, which is exactly what I got. (The purpose of the sorted file is to find what's in there and what's not, and what the exact spelling of the EQUate or structure is.)

I'm pretty sure MultiEdit was capable of sorting exactly the way you did, on primary and secondary values. If not, it would have been easy to whip up a macro that would've done the trick.
