Question

let’s say I’ve got a handler of the wm_paste message in a CEdit descendant:

LRESULT CMyEdit::OnPaste(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
//do some processing
return 0;
}

and let’s say that in some cases I want to trigger the default behaviour for paste
from this method. How do I do it? CEdit::OnPaste does not exist…

Cheers

Call CWnd::DefWindowProc, passing it WM_PASTE, wParam and lParam.

Typically the OnXxx handlers in base classes consist of a single line that calls DefWindowProc — if CEdit::OnPaste existed, that’s what it would do.
