windows消息C#中使用SendMessage

备注：主要描述在调用API函数SendMessage时数据类型的转换。

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SendMessage是一个在user32.dll中声明的API函数，在C#中导入如下：

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
[DllImport( " user32.dll " , EntryPoint = " SendMessageA " )]
public static extern int SendMessage (IntPtr hwnd, int wMsg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);

本文描述其参数 lParam 的用法，主要是数据类型之间的转化。

● 一种最简单的处理方式是声明多个SendMessage函数(overload)，用所需的数据类型直接替换IntPtr。例如：

// 声明:
[DllImport( " user32.dll " , EntryPoint = " SendMessageA " )]
private static extern int SendMessage (IntPtr hwnd,
int wMsg, IntPtr wParam, string lParam);
[DllImport( " user32.dll " , EntryPoint = " SendMessageA " )]
private static extern int SendMessage (IntPtr hwnd, int wMsg,
IntPtr wParam, ref Rectangle lParam);
// 调用:
string s = " hello, floodzhu " ;
SendMessage( this .textBox1.Handle, WM_SETTEXT, IntPtr.Zero, s);

Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
SendMessage( this .richTextBox1.Handle, EM_GETRECT, (IntPtr) 0 , ref rect);

● 对要求返回字符串的类型（out string）可以用 StringBuilder 代替，此时不需要 out/ref。例如：

[DllImport( " user32.dll " , EntryPoint = " SendMessageA " )]
private static extern int SendMessage (IntPtr hwnd, int wMsg,
int wParam, StringBuilder lParam);
private void button1_Click( object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
const int buffer_size = 1024 ;
StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder(buffer_size);
SendMessage( this .textBox1.Handle, WM_GETTEXT, buffer_size, buffer);
// MessageBox.Show(buffer.ToString());
}

● 如果想用 InPtr 类型统一处理的话，可以借助于 Marshal 或者 GCHandle 的相关方法。例如：

[DllImport( " user32.dll " , EntryPoint = " SendMessageA " )]
private static extern int SendMessage (IntPtr hwnd, int wMsg,
IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);

private void button2_Click( object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
IntPtr buffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf( typeof (Rectangle)));
Marshal.StructureToPtr(rect, buffer , true );

SendMessage( this .richTextBox1.Handle, EM_GETRECT, (IntPtr) 0 , buffer);

rect = (Rectangle)Marshal.PtrToStructure(buffer, typeof (Rectangle));

Marshal.FreeHGlobal(buffer);
}

或者

private void button2_Click( object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
GCHandle gch = GCHandle.Alloc(rect);

SendMessage( this .richTextBox1.Handle, EM_GETRECT, (IntPtr) 0 , (IntPtr)gch);
rect = (Rectangle)Marshal.PtrToStructure((IntPtr)gch, typeof (Rectangle));

gch.Free();
}
