Result

Comments

• CREATE_DEFAULT_WINDOW_FUNCTION(main) macro for creation default separate window procedure. You need to do this for each separate and child window, and after pass this name to constructor.
• In this example window creates and works in another thread by calling ref.addTask([]() { test(L"Main window", L"Title", "main", 300, 200); });. This method pass task to thread pool.
• You need to write next code for each separate window:

MSG msg = {};

while (GetMessageW(&msg, nullptr, NULL, NULL))
{
	TranslateMessage(&msg);

	DispatchMessageW(&msg);
}

This cycle handles all messages for your window.

• This code mainWindow->setExitMode(BaseComponent::exitMode::quit); control close behavior. quit fully close all windows and stop receiving messages, destroyWindow(default) only close current window.
• This #pragma comment (lib, "GUIFramework.lib") link program with GUIFramework library.
• All styles in utility::ComponentSettings is WinAPI styles.
