Handling windows notifications in derived C# user control

Question

How can I handle any of the tree view notifications listed here in a C# class that is derived from the .NET TreeView control?

I tried to handle the click notification, f

Answer 1

There are 2 important things, which are mentioned in MSDN: 1) msg.lparam is pointer to NMHDR structure 2) notifications are send to parent control

So the working code is (compile as console app - it will print messages there):

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

class MyTreeView : TreeView
{
    public TreeView RealTreeView;
    public MyTreeView()
    {
        RealTreeView = new TreeView();
        RealTreeView.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
        Controls.Add(RealTreeView);
    }
    enum WM
    {
        NOTIFY = 78
    }
    enum NM : uint
    {
        FIRST = 0,
        NM_CLICK = unchecked(FIRST - 2),
        NM_CUSTOMDRAW = unchecked(FIRST - 12),
        NM_DBLCLK = unchecked(FIRST - 3),
        NM_KILLFOCUS = unchecked(FIRST - 8),
        NM_RCLICK = unchecked(FIRST - 5),
        NM_RDBLCLK = unchecked(FIRST - 6),
        NM_RETURN = unchecked(FIRST - 4),
        NM_SETCURSOR = unchecked(FIRST - 17),
        NM_SETFOCUS = unchecked(FIRST - 7)
    }

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
    struct NMHDR {
        public IntPtr hwndFrom;
        public UIntPtr idFrom;
        public uint code;
    }

    protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
    {
        base.WndProc(ref m);
        if (m.Msg == (int)WM.NOTIFY)
        {
            uint code;
            unsafe
            {
                var nmhdr = (NMHDR*)m.LParam.ToPointer();
                code = nmhdr->code;
            }
            NM nmCode = (NM)code;
            Console.WriteLine("WM_NOTIFY " + nmCode);
        }
    }
}

public class MyGuiClass
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Form f = new Form();
        var tv = new MyTreeView();
        tv.RealTreeView.Nodes.Add("zero").Nodes.Add("sub-zero");
        tv.RealTreeView.Nodes.Add("one");
        tv.RealTreeView.Nodes.Add("two");
        tv.RealTreeView.Nodes.Add("three");
        tv.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
        f.Controls.Add(tv);
        Application.Run(f);
    }
}

Edit: and don't forget to compile with /unsafe of course.
