I am debugging an old application, where the WndProc is overridden. There I got a message with ID=0xC1B0 which means, that this is a system wide unique message according to this msdn article.
As described by microsoft for the RegisterWindowMessage(...), the same string s the paramter results in the same message-id. So there is an unique link between the message-id and the parameter.
My question is now: Is there a possibility to get the parameter, if I have the message-id? If yes, this might help me to find the source of the message.
As found in the this blog there is no direct way, but the function GetClipboardFormatName(...) gives a work around for the problem.
I used it in the following way:
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern int GetClipboardFormatName(int format, StringBuilder lpszFormatName, int cchMaxCount);
public static string GetMessageName(int msg)
{
var sb = new StringBuilder(256);
GetClipboardFormatName(msg, sb, sb.Capacity);
return sb.ToString();
}
