Well here is another one of my problems i recently encountered. I create many child windows, and one of the window has child edit boxes. Now when i try to use this edit box, it doesn't responde. I don't know if it has something to do with focus, or i just messed something. Anyone got a clue ? main: 

#include <windows.h>

//number of form items
#define TOTALNUM 4 

//window and object defenitions

#define WINDOW1  0

#define WINDOW2  1

#define WINDOW3  2

#define WINDOW4  3

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM) ;
LRESULT CALLBACK ChildWndProc (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM) ;


int idFocus;


TCHAR szChildClass[] = TEXT ("Checker4_Child") ;

//array of MDL child windows
static      HWND  hwndarray[TOTALNUM];
static      HWND  hwndmbuttons[2];    //two buttons that select actions

OK, the problem you have is actually expected behavior.

WS_CHILDWINDOW & WS_CAPTION don't exactly work well together. You have several solutions.

A) Just don't include WS_CAPTION.

B) Use WS_POPUP if the sub windows don't have to be within the main window frame (don't make them child windows then). If they do, look at using an MDI solution instead of an SDI solution.

C) Forward the focus messages, mouse messages, and keyboard messages to the windows that actually need them.

This is a very common problem, but unfortunately, there isn't exactly an easy solution to this. Even the MDI solution is a hacked version so to speak of the SDI solution by Microsoft.

Thank's for reply. I understand now that i have to pass focus and other messages to childs, and i actually know how to do that :

 case WM_COMMAND:				//working with individual window        switch(id)		{        case WINDOW1: break;        case WINDOW2: // Showing 3 window				      if(LOWORD(wParam) == 0)					  {							  ShowWindow(hwndarray[2],TRUE);					  SetFocus (hwndarray[2]);					  ShowWindow(hwndarray[3],FALSE);											  }					  else //showing forth window					  {						 						  ShowWindow(hwndarray[3],TRUE);						  SetFocus (hwndarray[3]);					      ShowWindow(hwndarray[2],FALSE);						  					  }						          break;		case WINDOW3: 			          switch(LOWORD(wParam))					  {	                  case 1:   	   MessageBox(NULL,"CANCEL BUTTON","LALLA",0);break;					  case 2:   	   MessageBox(NULL,"OK BUTTON","LALLA",0);break;						  case 3:          MessageBox(NULL,"EDIT1","LALLA",0); break;					  }				}


but i actually can operate only with buttons and form area. If i try to click on any edit box, messages WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_COMMAND are not even processed, i think there is some other default message that takes this processing. Am I right or wrong ?

You need to add an 'IsDialogMessage' call to your message pump:
get messagemessage processed = falsefor each window    if IsDialogMessage (window, &msg)        message processed = true        exit loop    end ifend forif !message processed    TranslateMessage ()    DispatchMessage ()end if

Then your edit control will work as expected.

Also, don't create all those controls by hand (the 'hwndwin3[n] = CreateWindow (...)' calls), create a dialog box using a resource editor. It's much cleaner and easier to understand and maintain.

I got it this way,but it is still the same . Am i missing something ? 

     BOOL processedm = 0 ;          .     .     .	while (GetMessage (&msg, NULL, 0, 0))	{	    processedm = FALSE;		for(i = 0; i < 12; i++)		{			if (IsDialogMessage(hwndwin3, &msg))			{								processedm = TRUE;					break;			}		}		if(!processedm)		{		TranslateMessage (&msg) ;		DispatchMessage (&msg) ;		}	}	return msg.wParam ;

No, the IsDialogMessage requires the parent window handle of the control, not the control itself, so you only need to do it for the four hwndarray windows and the root window.

I changed to that :) Still the same . But WM_LBUTTONDOWN: gets message twice.

	while (GetMessage (&msg, NULL, 0, 0))	{	    processedm = FALSE;		for(i = 0; i < TOTALNUM; i++)		{			if (IsDialogMessage(hwndarray, &msg))			{								processedm = TRUE;					break;			}		}		if (IsDialogMessage(hwnd, &msg))			{								processedm = TRUE;			}		if(!processedm)		{		TranslateMessage (&msg) ;		DispatchMessage (&msg) ;		}	}

There's some more to change:
1) change WS_CAPTION to WS_DLGFRAME (you won't be able to drag the windows around).
2) change 'if (IsDialogMessage(hwnd, &msg))' to 'if (!processedm && IsDialogMessage(hwnd, &msg))'
3) remove 'MessageBox (NULL,"EDIT1","LALLA",0);' (this was causing the input box to lose its focus).

However, your overall structure is flawed. Firstly, it really is better to use a dialog resource to define your windows and use CreateDialog instead of doing it all manually. Secondly, like C++ and other OO systems, a window class should only have one function. Create a separate class for each type of window you have rather than getting the one class to do everything. Use subclassing to modify behaviour of another class. It'll just work out easier in the long run.

Hmm i still want to move windows around. Ok it seems there is no clear solution, but maybe someone can post a code or link, where it's easyly shown how to make applications of this type. I couldn't find it myself, and had to make something up.

I looked a bit on MDI window code, and got them working without a problem,but there is one thing I am missing. The MDI child window style, I don't know how to change it. Can anyone help ?

Il post a code where i create child windows in FrameWindow WM_CREATE

 case WM_CREATE:           // Create the client window                    clientcreate.hWindowMenu  = hMenuInit ;          clientcreate.idFirstChild = IDM_FIRSTCHILD ;                    hwndClient = CreateWindow (TEXT ("MDICLIENT"), NULL,                                     WS_CHILD | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_VISIBLE,                                        0, 0, 0, 0, hwnd, (HMENU) 1, hInst,                                     (PSTR) &clientcreate) ;		  //let's try to create simple results window:               mdicreate.szClass = szResultsClass ;               mdicreate.szTitle = TEXT ("Results") ;               mdicreate.hOwner  = hInst ;               mdicreate.x       = CW_USEDEFAULT ;               mdicreate.y       = CW_USEDEFAULT ;               mdicreate.cx      = 100 ;               mdicreate.cy      = 100 ;               mdicreate.style   = 0;               mdicreate.lParam  = 0 ;                              hwndChild = (HWND) SendMessage (hwndClient,                                   WM_MDICREATE,0,                                   (LPARAM) (LPMDICREATESTRUCT) &mdicreate) ;			//let's try to create simple results window:               mdicreate.szClass = szSelectClass ;               mdicreate.szTitle = TEXT ("Selecting") ;               mdicreate.hOwner  = hInst ;               mdicreate.x       = 120 ;               mdicreate.y       = 0 ;               mdicreate.cx      = 100 ;               mdicreate.cy      = 100 ;               mdicreate.style   = 0 ;               mdicreate.lParam  = 0 ;                              hwndChild = (HWND) SendMessage (hwndClient,                                   WM_MDICREATE, 0,                                   (LPARAM) (LPMDICREATESTRUCT) &mdicreate) ;          return 0 ;

Ok moving further and I found a way to change style of MDI child, but it doesn't work correctly

//changing style of window ALL OK
SetWindowLong(hwndChild, GWL_style,WS_CHILDWINDOW | WS_CAPTION | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_THICKFRAME);


But if i want' not resizable child and i use this ->

//changing style of window PROBLEM
SetWindowLong(hwndChild, GWL_style,WS_CHILDWINDOW | WS_CAPTION | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS);

This makes a problem client area near window border is not redrawn correctly. I must be doing something wrong ...
