Hello,
I have a program that sends keys (words to be exact) to Excel or Notepad. I'm currently using SendInput() which works fine except on some computers. For example two identical machines running XP with Office 2003 could result in one working with my program and the other not. So this is a mystery to me. One problem is that my program loses focus (or rather sets the focus to the target application) yet in Microsoft's On-Screen Keyboard application which also sends keys to a target program the program never has the focus. Does anyone know how this can be achieved? Also has anyone had any similar experiences with SendInput() or sending keys to another program?
Any help/advice in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Al

Use SendMessage(..., WM_CHAR...) instead as it is not affected by the target window losing focus.

Thank you David, I'll give it a shot. But I'm still mystified as to how Microsoft manages not to get the focus on their On-Screen Keyboard application. I wonder if they're using SendMessage(..., WM_CHAR...) as well.

Use Spy++ to find out.

I think the keyboard sends untranslated messages...

Because they have been disabled. To enable them, use EnableWindow(TRUE).

HDC hdcprinter = printdlg.GetPrinterDC();

DEVMODE *MyPrintMode;
MyPrintMode = printdlg.GetDevMode();

How can a function be dimmed? Please explain.

Hi,
I need a utility that displays all the colors that you get from GetSysColor. There must be some simple freeware app somewhere that just does this for you!?!

What event is sent when I click on an Edit Control that is in a Dialog box?
I want a messagebox to appear when I click on the edit control.
Thanks!

i think this is not the right answer, but you could try with EN_SETFOCUS

You can detect focus change via EN_SET/KILLFOCUS. However, to capture LBUTTONDWN, you will need to subclass the edit box.

I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Do you mean that I capture EN_SETFOCUS... display the messagebox and then with SendMessage deliver EN_KILLFOCUS.
Cause I tryed to capture EN_SETFOCUS and I manage to display the messagebox but it appears 2 times in a row.. strange.

|
|
|
|
EN_SETFOCUS has the problem that it is also sent when you select the edit box via the tab button!
Don't try it, just do it!

Well I used EN_SETFOCUS but ans I wrote before I get the messagebox 2 times.
I only want it to appear when I click on the Edit Control.

I have to make a server which should be able to make about 1000 connections after booting. Then starts communication proccess in which clients sends short messages(about 10 bytes) to server and server responds whith similar messages to 5 clients after receiving every message from one of the clients. In every moment about 300 clients are sending messages to server. Server also must reconnect broken TCP connections on client request. Can anybody help me about a way to make that kind of application and which tool is better for use:WinSock API or MFC classes CSocket or CAsyncSocket, then blocking or non-blocking sockets etc. Help!!!
