Windows SDK - Custom Controls
This page provides information on custom controls in the Windows SDK. Custom controls allow you to create your own UI elements that can be used in your applications. This is a valuable technique for creating specialized user interfaces.
Creating a Custom Control
To create a custom control, you'll typically define a class that inherits from one of the standard Windows controls, such as Button or TextBox. You can then override the control's properties and methods to customize its behavior and appearance.
Here's a basic example of creating a custom button:
// Define a class that inherits from CButton.
class MyButton : public CButton
{
// Override the OnClick method to handle button clicks.
void OnClick()
{
// Perform custom actions here.
MessageBox::Show("Button clicked!", "Custom Button");
}
}
