Reply to: question about handling messages in C++ vs. TPW's "dynamic" methods

I use my own C++ library for windows and deal with messages in the following way:

I have the derived class declare a static array of pairs: <windows message><member function>

The array contains only those messages a derived class is interested in responding to. 

The "top-level" class, I call it "window", has a WndProc loop that received messages and
checks in the array whether the derived class wishes to receive them. If so it calls
the function specified in the array.

I use a technique called "bloom filtering" to decide whether the message received by WndProc
is in the array. This is a technique used, for example, by Credit Card companies when
checking if a card number is in a "wanted" list.

The technique has a high success rate, so the system performance is not degraded too much.

Hope the above is suggestive!
