This function provides information that is needed to create a subclass of a given class (see WinSubclassWindow).

Example Code

This example obtains a pointer to the window procedure of the window class WC_COMBOBOX.

#define INCL_WINWINDOWMGR
#define INCL_WINENTRYFIELDS

#include <OS2.H>

HAB       hab;
CLASSINFO classinfo;
PFNWP     pWindowProc;

WinQueryClassInfo(hab,
                  WC_COMBOBOX,
                  &classinfo);

pWindowProc = classinfo.pfnWindowProc;


Definition

#define INCL_WINWINDOWMGR /* Or use INCL_WIN, INCL_PM, */
#include <os2.h>

HAB           hab;             /*  Anchor-block handle. */
PSZ           PSZClassName;    /*  Class name. */
PCLASSINFO    PclsiClassInfo;  /*  Class information structure. */
BOOL          rc;              /*  Class-exists indicator. */

rc = WinQueryClassInfo(hab, PSZClassName, PclsiClassInfo);
