Window class
Redirected from Windows class
In computer programming, window class is a class in the sense of object-oriented programming specifying the icon, the background color and some other attributes of windows in Microsoft Windows operating systems.
People are often confused but it is not the class of C++ but mere binary data structure in essence.
It is defined using C programming language's struct[?] as WNDCLASS or WNDCLASSEX:
typedef struct {
UINT style;
WNDPROC lpfnWndProc;
int cbClsExtra;
int cbWndExtra;
HINSTANCE hInstance;
HICON hIcon;
HCURSOR hCursor;
HBRUSH hbrBackground;
LPCTSTR lpszMenuName;
LPCTSTR lpszClassName;
} WNDCLASS, *PWNDCLASS;
or
typedef struct {
UINT cbSize;
UINT style;
WNDPROC lpfnWndProc;
int cbClsExtra;
int cbWndExtra;
HINSTANCE hInstance;
HICON hIcon;
HCURSOR hCursor;
HBRUSH hbrBackground;
LPCTSTR lpszMenuName;
LPCTSTR lpszClassName;
HICON hIconSm;
} WNDCLASSEX, *PWNDCLASSEX;
