i have an application that allows you to Select some text in a window,
but no option to Copy it to the clipboard (nor does Ctrl-C or
Shift-insert work, or right click etc..) i want to get these values
somehow.
below is the best posted method i have found online.
if anyone can elaborate, as to how to implement such message passing
(as a novice) i would be thrilled. i am using and old visual c++ 4
compiler with
an example program that simply creates instances of notepad-like
windows.
(to test the idea)
i can't find examples on how to implement message handling at the
simplest level. specifically what/where do i insert into a message
map, and where does the code go that 'listens' for this change in
window focus. (or will the below idea even work)
thanks.

Assuming that you can get the window handle of the edit control
you are concerned with, I would think that all you need to do is
send a WM_COPY message to that control. That slaps the selected
text onto the clipboard:
SendMessage(hwn dEdit,WM_COPY,0 ,0L);
You should be able to get the edit control's handle by calling
GetFocus() to see which window has the keyboard focus when your
button on the titlebar is pushed. I can see the problem with
this, though...when your application is activated by a button
push, YOUR app will have keyboard focus. To get around this,
you can process the WM_SETFOCUS message in your app to see which
window you are taking the focus FROM. This should be the edit
control with the selected text.

What language? You are talking about Win32 API programming not C++. You
would face exactly the same issue if you were using another language like
Pascal or assembly.
Please take this question to a group where is it relevant, like
comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.win32. Your question has no C++ content.

john - you are right..
was overwhelmed and slightly drunk when i gave up and made a plea for
help :)
i have gotten closer - i can shut down a window in VB using WM_CLOSE
message.
(i gave up on using visual c++, it is absurdly complex)
WM_COPY doesn't seem to work though. If anyone knows anyone that can
get highlighted text from another window that won't allow direct
copying, i'd love to know how. (ze******@yahoo .com)
sorry about posting to the wrong place.. thank god Visual C++ is not
something the world accepts as a standard. i think it is a complete
nightmare.

Thank you.

Hello,
I am trying to find a way to create a scheduled task or

would allow me to restore my settings if my profile became

available out there?

I'm new to Access and this may be a basic question but I would

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
