I am sorry to come up with the same question over and over again, but I am really curious about this communication between the FileManger and the ProgramManager. As far as I found out yet, there is a undocumented window-message among the WM_MDI*-messages. The value of the message is 0x22b and it is send to the application when you drag an icon from the FileManager to the client-area of the app. wParam is set to 0 or 1, the LOWORD of the lParam is always 0 and the HIWORD contains a value between 2000 and 5000 (dec). Problem is: The messages are sent and not posted, so the spy does not tell to much! Anybody got an idea how this thing works?

It is being mentioned somewhere in the README files of the windows SDK. It says that it is undocumented and there is a high chance that it becomes unsupported in the future as they are working on a better system to communicate with the program manager. jeroen

Thanks, but I read the readme too. I still would like to know how it works.

I still would like to know how it works. SPEAKING OF UNDOCUMENTED FUNCTIONS... Someone gave me help on printing to a printer without using the printer DC (to make it faster printing source printer code). Their help was great, but I CAN'T LINK MY APPLICATION NOW!!!! Apparently the undocumented calls are in a different library or I am doing something wrong! Christine (the one who helped me) if you are there, could you please help (I can't mail to UUCP a!b!c). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...Regards |(8> --- Robert rdthomps@vela.acs.oakland.edu
