WM_ACTIVATE message

WM_ACTIVATE message

          

Sent to both the window being activated and the window being deactivated. If the windows use the same input queue, the message is sent synchronously, first to the window procedure of the top-level window being deactivated, then to the window procedure of the top-level window being activated. If the windows use different input queues, the message is sent asynchronously, so the window is activated immediately.

Parameters

wParam

The low-order word specifies whether the window is being activated or deactivated. This parameter can be one of the following values. The high-order word specifies the minimized state of the window being activated or deactivated. A nonzero value indicates the window is minimized.

Value	Meaning
WA_ACTIVE 1	Activated by some method other than a mouse click (for example, by a call to theSetActiveWindow function or by use of the keyboard interface to select the window).
WA_CLICKACTIVE 2	Activated by a mouse click.
WA_INACTIVE 0	Deactivated.

 

lParam

A handle to the window being activated or deactivated, depending on the value of thewParam parameter. If the low-order word of wParam is WA_INACTIVE,lParam is the handle to the window being activated. If the low-order word ofwParam is WA_ACTIVE or WA_CLICKACTIVE,lParam is the handle to the window being deactivated. This handle can beNULL.

 

Return value

If an application processes this message, it should return zero.

Remarks

If the window is being activated and is not minimized, the DefWindowProc function sets the keyboard focus to the window. If the window is activated by a mouse click, it also receives aWM_MOUSEACTIVATE message.
