WM_PARENTNOTIFY message

Sent to the parent of a child window when the child window is created or destroyed, or when the user clicks a mouse button while the cursor is over the child window. When the child window is being created, the system sends WM_PARENTNOTIFY just before the CreateWindow or CreateWindowEx function that creates the window returns. When the child window is being destroyed, the system sends the message before any processing to destroy the window takes place.

A window receives this message through its WindowProc function.

Remarks

This message is also sent to all ancestor windows of the child window, including the top-level window.

All child windows, except those that have the WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY extended window style, send this message to their parent windows.
