This interface allows an application to capture a message before it is dispatched to a control or form.
A class that implements the imessage_filter interface can be added to the application's message pump to filter out a message or perform other operations before the message is dispatched to a form or control. To add the message filter to an application's message pump, use the add_message_filter method in the application class.

virtual bool xtd::forms::imessage_filter::pre_filter_message ( const message m)
pure virtual

Filters out a message before it is dispatched.

Parameters
mThe message to be dispatched. You cannot modify this message.
Returns
true to filter the message and stop it from being dispatched; false to allow the message to continue to the next filter or control.
Remarks
Use pre_filter_message to filter out a message before it is dispatched to a control or form. For example, to stop the click event of a button control from being dispatched to the control, you implement the pre_filter_message method and return a true value when the click message occurs. You can also use this method to perform code work that you might need to do before the message is dispatched.
