  afx_msg void OnEnterIdle( UINT  nWhy, CWnd*  pWho  );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <nWhy>      Specifies whether the message is the result of a dialog box
              or a menu being displayed. This parameter can be one of the
              following values:
 
              Value            Description
 
              MSGF_DIALOGBOX   The system is idle because a dialog box is
                               being displayed.
 
              MSGF_MENU        The system is idle because a menu is being
                               displayed.
 
  <pWho>      Specifies a pointer to the dialog box (if <nWhy> is
              MSGF_DIALOGBOX), or the window containing the displayed menu
              (if <nWhy> is MSGF_MENU). This pointer may be temporary, and
              should not be stored for later use.
 
  Remarks
 
  A call to OnEnterIdle informs an application's main window procedure
  that a modal dialog box or a menu is entering an idle state. A modal
  dialog box or menu enters an idle state when no messages are waiting in
  its queue after it has processed one or more previous messages.
 
  This message-handler member function calls the ◄Default► member
  function. Override this member function in your derived class to handle
  the ◄WM_ENTERIDLE► message.
