Creates a window and a worker thread.

Syntax

virtual HRESULT PrepareWindow( );

Parameters

None.

Return Value

Returns NOERROR if successful; E_FAIL if unsuccessful.

Remarks

The base window class creates a window and a worker thread.

The worker thread is responsible for pulling messages from the window's input queue and dispatching them as appropriate.

The window and its thread are created by CBaseWindow::PrepareWindowand destroyed in CBaseWindow::DoneWithWindow.

The window should also be initialized and uninitialized through CBaseWindow::InitialiseWindowand CBaseWindow::UninitialiseWindow, respectively.

Having prepared a window and initialized it, the window can be sized using CBaseWindow::ActivateWindowand subsequently hidden using CBaseWindow::InactivateWindow.
