wm_copydata

[**** KiteOregon ****]

How do i receive a wm_copydata message from a third party application? I
can't seem to get the data or the message at all in my vb.net application,
what do i need to do.

thanks

Overriding the WndProc method of the target form or control is a good
start.

i have tried that.

Protected overrides sub WndProc(ByRef m as Message)

Select case (m.msg)

case WM_COPYDATA
Debug.writeline (m.toString)
End Select

i see many messages, never see a wm_copydata message.

Not much to go on here so I'm just guessing. Are you sure you have the
correct message value for WM_COPYDATA? Are you sure the sender sends
the message to the correct window?
