I need to intercept the Paste message that is being sent to my CHtmlView

  • 0

I need to intercept the Paste message that is being sent to my CHtmlView object. According to Spy++, it’s being sent as a WM_COMMAND message – but also according to Spy++, the message isn’t being sent to the CHtmlView object, but rather to the Internet Explorer_Server (or IWebBrowser2) object that it wraps. The WM_COMMAND message in question is not seen in any other parent objects (I’ve found this by observation and via Spy++).

How do I intercept this (or even, say, a Select All) message? I’ve watched AfxCallWndProc for the correct WM_COMMAND message, and it doesn’t show up there.

    To intercept a message (ex: WM_COMMAND) you need to subclass the window (in your case Internet Explorer_Server) by calling:

    BOOL SetWindowSubclass(
  _In_  HWND hWnd,
  _In_  SUBCLASSPROC pfnSubclass,
  _In_  UINT_PTR uIdSubclass,
  _In_  DWORD_PTR dwRefData
);

    After that your own windows procedure takes controls first and you can decide what to do with the message.
