ON_COMMAND_RANGE

ON_COMMAND_RANGE( id1, id2, memberFxn )

Parameters

id1

Command ID at the beginning of a contiguous range of command IDs.

id2

Command ID at the end of a contiguous range of command IDs.

memberFxn

The name of the message-handler function to which the commands are mapped.

Remarks

Use this macro to map a contiguous range of command IDs to a single message handler function. The range of IDs starts with id1 and ends with id2.

Use ON_COMMAND_RANGE to map a range of command IDs to one member function. Use ON_COMMAND to map a single command to a member function. Only one message-map entry can match a given command ID. That is, you can’t map a command to more than one handler. For more information on mapping message ranges, see Handlers for Message-Map Ranges in Visual C++ Programmer’s Guide.

ClassWizard does not support message map ranges, so you must place the macro yourself. Be sure to put it outside the message map //{{AFX_MSG_MAP delimiters.

Example

// The code fragment below shows how to use ON_COMMAND_RANGE macro
// to map a contiguous range of command IDs to a single message 
// handler function (i.e. OnFileMenuItems() is the sample below). In 
// addition, it also shows how to use CheckMenuRadioItem() to check a 
// selected menu item and makes it a radio item.
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainFrame, CFrameWnd)
   //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CMainFrame)
   // ... 
   //}}AFX_MSG_MAP
   ON_COMMAND_RANGE(ID_FILE_MENUITEM1, ID_FILE_MENUITEM3, OnFileMenuItems)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

void CMainFrame::OnFileMenuItems(UINT nID)
{
   CMenu* mmenu = GetMenu();
   CMenu* submenu = mmenu->GetSubMenu(0);
   submenu->CheckMenuRadioItem(ID_FILE_MENUITEM1, ID_FILE_MENUITEM3, 
      nID, MF_BYCOMMAND);
