i have this abstract code : i want to use lParam (last parameter) in CreateWindowEx() to save a pointer to a class thats declared in the begining of main - SaveArr. then, i want to use it in the function WndProc. in the begining i did a global array, and then i could use it anywhere, but its not so "clever" as far as c++ concern, so im trying to upgrade it a bit.
class Samples
{
int arr[ITERATIONS+1];
int index;
...
}
INT WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
Samples * SaveArr;
...
hWnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
ClsName,
WindowCaption,
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
INITIAL_WIN_LOCAT_X,
INITIAL_WIN_LOCAT_Y,
WIN_WIDTH,
WIN_HIGHT,
NULL,
NULL,
hInstance,
NULL); //here i want to pass SaveArr, so that i can use it in the WndProc(...) function
...
return 0;
}
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT Msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
... //here i would like to use lParam as the class pointer, meaning using the
SaveArr declared in the main function.
}
}
