如何修改没有窗口句柄的窗口类？

Question

I am currently trying to translate a few WIN32API functions to Java using JNI. One of those functions is RegisterClassEx . Usually, I think you would specify a different callback function for every window class you register, but since I'm translating the callback to Java as well this doesn't work.

So the current plan is to append a jobject (defined as _jobject* ) to the window class and work with that in the callback. Problem is: you can only change data attached to a window class using a HWND. The MSDN documentation to the best of my knowledge doesn't specify a function that can modify a window class using only a window class ATOM or the name.

Thus my question: Is there a way to change a window class (using something like SetClassLongPtr ), without having to use a valid HWND?

Java side (I'll eventually add a public function that does what I actually need done):

public class c_winjni implements i_jnisystem {
    public interface i_wnd_proc {
        public int wnd_proc(long il_hwnd, int im_message, long im_wparam, long im_lparam);
    }

    private class c_wndclassex {
        public int im_style = 0;
        public i_wnd_proc ds_wnd_proc = null;
        public int im_cls_extra = 0;
        public int im_wnd_extra = 0;
        public long il_instance = 0L;
        public long il_icon = 0L;
        public long il_small_icon = 0L;
        public long il_cursor = 0L;
        public long il_background = 0L;
        public String str_menu_name = null;
        public String str_class_name = null;
    }

    private static native short registerClassEx(c_wndclassex ds_wcx, int[] imr_error);
}

C++ side :

LRESULT CALLBACK default_window_callback_proc(HWND ds_hwnd, UINT im_message, WPARAM im_w_param, LPARAM im_l_param) {
    return DefWindowProc(ds_hwnd, im_message, im_w_param, im_l_param);
}

Answer 1

The simple answer to your question is that it is only possible to modify the extra class memory using SetClassLongPtr . For which you need a valid window handle.

Answer 2

Interesting problem... A WNDCLASSEX is a class, and HWND is a handle to a window. You may think of the first as a OO class, the second as a "pointer" or "reference" an object (instance). Yet to modify the class, you seem to have to go through an instance of that class... Weird :) I can imagine this is the most common scenario (having the HWND) (BTW, why you don't have a HWND?)

An idea: would it be acceptable to create a window (hiddend) using the ATOM, and use the returned HWND as a "reference" for SetClassLongPtr ?

Answer 3

As to get a valid HWND for registered class ATOM, you can use the FindWindow function .

By passing NULL for the lpWindowName parameter you'll get a handle to the first window that matches the class. Of course you'll fail if there is no window instance present. But in this it's probably good to assume that the corresponding window class isn't registered yet.
