Interop: Extending GUI Functionality
Interop: Extending GUI Functionality
This post will describe some ways you can use the new interop features present in version 2 of the .Net Compact Framework to extend the framework's GUI functionality present in the System.Windows.Forms namespace. An overview of how GUI works under the hood is also provided to give developers an understanding of the limitations and assumptions that the framework will make when using interop to override or extend the framework.
Under the Hood
The functionality exposed through the System.Windows.Forms namespace is implemented in two parts. There is a native layer, present inside netcfagl2_0.dll, which handles most of the logic required for GUI features and is responsible for interacting with the underlying Windows CE OS. The second part is the managed layer, present inside System.Windows.Forms.dll, which for the most part is actually a relatively thin wrapper that contains very little logic and mostly just exposes functionality to the managed world.
There are a couple of implementation details that you should keep in mind when using interop to extend current functionality.
- The runtime will attempt to maintain the managed state of GUI controls and components. For example, if you PInvoke to SHFullScreen to hide the task bar, the runtime may override this behavior at a later time with its understanding of the managed state.
- Forms will have logic under the scenes to support features like tabbing, autoscroll, docking and anchoring. The logic for these features often involves examining and manipulating controls parented to the form, and can occur in response to messages received by the form as well as in response to GUI API calls.
- All managed controls use the GWL_USERDATA space, and the runtime expects the data stored here to remain valid. This area is considered to be reserved for runtime use only and should not be examined or relied upon.
- Managed forms and controls may be recreated as necessary when their attributes are modified. Any modifications that were made to the native control via interop are not guaranteed to be re-applied to the newly created control. Also, the value returned from Control.Handle, associated with the native HWND, will change.
- Managed controls are often implemented by wrapping functionality exposed in a similar native control present in the OS.
- In some cases, a single managed control may be associated with two native controls (such as the NumericUpDown control). The Control.Handle API will return the handle associated with the major native control of the pair (in the case of NumericUpDown, it will be the Edit control). You can use the remote spy tool to further examine the hierarchy of managed controls.
- For performance reasons, not all events are sent up to the managed code layer.
Using Interop Features
A number of interop features have been added to the .Net Compact Framework, making it possible for developers to dramatically extend the framework without writing native code.
- Delegate callbacks, which allow you to override the wndproc of native controls and get notified when messages are received by the native control.
- Marshaling support for more types, including support for more types of fields in structures.
- The InteropServices.Marshal class has been extended, allowing you to access marshaling functionality from managed code and convert between IntPtrs and objects. This is especially useful when the interop functions, such as wndprocs, contain parameters that can be either an int or a pointer to a structure based on what context they are called in. You may find Marshal.PtrToStructure and Marshal.StructureToPtr useful to convert between an IntPtr, representing a native pointer to a structure, and a managed instance of the structure.
- COM Interop support, which provides the pluming necessary to host ActiveX controls. An ActiveX container can now be implemented entirely in managed code.
When using interop features to interact with managed controls and components, follow these guidelines:
- Whenever possible, you should use managed APIs to modify the state of a control or the system, and rely on interop only as a last resort.
- When parenting native controls inside a managed form, provide a level of indirection between the form and the native control by wrapping the native control inside a managed Control or UserControl. This will protect the native control from being frequently examined and manipulated by the runtime; since the runtime will instead reference the parent managed Control.
- Be aware that sending a message to a managed control may have side-effects (or may start to have side effects in future versions). The only way to completely prevent runtime logic from executing is to send a message directly to a native control that has been created using interop. In general, sending messages directly to a managed form must be done with care as there may be assumptions about the existence of a managed control or component that would typically send that message.
- When spying on messages sent to a managed control by overriding the wndproc, be sure to call the original wndproc (which will often be the runtime). If the original wndproc is not called, there may be undesirable side-effects causing core features such as tabbing, autoscroll, and layout (among other things) to break.
- For compatibility against future versions of the framework, it can be safer to wrap a native control from scratch, then to modify the state of a managed control. When using interop to extend the framework, think about how your code will function if the feature you are implementing is eventually added to the framework.
- Do not rely on implementation details, as they may change in future versions. Do not attempt to parse or change any runtime owned data structures.
- Do not rely on the order, timing or frequency of events.

The following blog posts describe how to extend the functionality of currently exposed controls. This will show how to use interop to add 'missing' events to managed controls.

The following information may be useful when attempting to diagnose and solve issues involving interop.

All applications should be tested with Interop Logging turned on, even if there are no known issues. This will produce a log file that should then be searched for 'ERROR' and 'WARNING'. The log file will contain more information about the cause of managed exceptions, subtle errors that do not manifest themselves as managed exceptions, as well as assist in debugging interop issues involving native code for which the source is unavailable.
