WM_POWERBROADCAST message not caught in MFC Dlg


I try to catch WM_POWERBROADCAST message when the system goes into sleep mode.

I'm doing like :

BOOL CPowManApp::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) 
{
    if(pMsg->message == WM_POWERBROADCAST || pMsg->message == WM_POWER)
    {
        CString strMessage;

        strMessage.Format(_T("%d WM_POWERB%s wParam %x lParam %x"),
                         pMsg->time,
                         pMsg->message == WM_POWER?_T(""):_T("BRAODCAST"),
                         pMsg->wParam,
                         pMsg->lParam);

        OutputDebugString(strMessage);
    }

    return CWinApp::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}

It simply doesn't work. Meanwhile a win32 app works just fine. I tried to put the message handler in the Dlg class in vain.

I'm building the app with VS6.0. Where am I wrong?


Solution

  • In your message map

    ON_MESSAGE( WM_POWERBROADCAST, OnPowerBroadcast )
    

    Implementation

    LRESULT CDialogDlg::OnPowerBroadcast(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
    {
        switch (wParam)
        {
            case PBT_...
        }
    }
    

    Be sure to check MSDN for some OS-specific cases around the wParam values.
