Which are the various message map macros ?

Question

Amit Singh · Answer

Message maps are an MFC approach to windows programming. Instead of 
writing a WinMain () function that sends messages to your WindProc and 
then writing a WindProc that checks which kind of message this is and 
then calls another of your functions, you just write the function that 
will handle the message, and you add a message map to your class that 
says, in effect, "I will handle this sort of message." The framework 
handles whatever routing is required to send that message to you.
A number of macros are used in message maps:- DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP: used 
in the include file to declare that there will be a message map in the 
source file.- BEGIN MESSAGE MAP: marks the beginning of the message map 
in the source file.- END MESSAGE MAP: marks the end of the message map- 
ON_COMMAND: used to delegate the handling of a command to a function of a
 class.- ON_COMMAD_RANGS: used to handle a group of commands- 
ON_MESSAGE: used to delegate the handling of a user defined message to a
 function- ON_NOTIFY: used to handle the control notification message 
with some extra information and calls a member function of a class.
