Hey all

IanM or any one else who can help me with this. Please do

Question 1:
At the moment I am using GetActiveWindow, Do get the HWND. Is there a better way of doing this.



Question 2:
The only way I can create other windows is via a button as the class name. How can I create a windows class with ease.


Thanks Eddie

for question 1 i think there is something in the globstruct.h file which allows you to access the hwnd of the dbpro window - might be a bit more reliable

i think it is g_pglob->hWnd

I'll try and help with your second question ... but I really dislike the windows gui system.

First, there are many other standard classes beyond BUTTON :http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/windowing/windows/windowreference/windowfunctions/createwindow.asp

Check out the list in the remarks section. In addition, there is nothing to stop you creating your own class - just as you do when you create the first window for a new application. Just complete a WNDCLASSEX structure, and use the RegisterClass function to register it with windows. Then you can assign the classname you specified within the structure to open a new window against.

ah I see. So if I do create my own class, It will not affect dbpro.

I think I get you know. Thanks for replying, Eddie.
