SetClassLong info  Overview  Group

The SetClassLong function replaces the specified 32-bit (long) value at the specified offset into the extra class memory or the WNDCLASS structure for the class to which the specified window belongs.

DWORD SetClassLong(

    HWND hWnd,

// handle of window

    int nIndex,

// index of value to change

    LONG dwNewLong 

// new value

   );

Parameters

hWnd
Identifies the window and, indirectly, the class to which the window belongs.
nIndex
Specifies the 32-bit value to replace. To set a 32-bit value in the extra class memory, specify the positive, zero-based byte offset of the value to be set. Valid values are in the range zero through the number of bytes of extra class memory, minus four; for example, if you specified 12 or more bytes of extra class memory, a value of 8 would be an index to the third 32-bit integer. To set any other value from the WNDCLASS structure, specify one of the following values:

Value

Action

GCL_CBCLSEXTRA

Sets the size, in bytes, of the extra memory associated with the class. Setting this value does not change the number of extra bytes already allocated.

GCL_CBWNDEXTRA

Sets the size, in bytes, of the extra window memory associated with each window in the class. Setting this value does not change the number of extra bytes already allocated. For information on how to access this memory, see SetWindowLong and SetWindowWord.

GCL_HBRBACKGROUND

Replaces the handle of the background brush associated with the class.

GCL_HCURSOR

Replaces the handle of the cursor associated with the class.

GCL_HICON

Replaces the handle of the icon associated with the class.

GCL_HMODULE

Replaces the handle of the module that registered the class.

GCL_MENUNAME

Replaces the address of the menu name string. The string identifies the menu resource associated with the class.

GCL_STYLE

Replaces the window-class style bits.

GCL_WNDPROC

Replaces the address of the window procedure associated with the class.

dwNewLong
Specifies the replacement value.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is the previous value of the specified 32-bit integer. If the value was not previously set, the return value is zero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

If you use the SetClassLong function and the GCL_WNDPROC index to replace the window procedure, the window procedure must conform to the guidelines specified in the description of the WindowProc callback function.

Calling SetClassLong with the GCL_WNDPROC index creates a subclass of the window class that affects all windows subsequently created with the class. An application should not subclass a window created by another process.

Reserve extra class memory by specifying a nonzero value in the cbClsExtra member of the WNDCLASS structure used with the RegisterClass function.

Use the SetClassLong function with care. For example, it is possible to change the background color for a class by using SetClassLong, but this change does not immediately repaint all windows belonging to the class.
