You can get the CWnd (or the corresponding class) pointer from the handle by using FromHandle(HWND hWnd) so you'll be able to use the advantages from the 2 ways.

CWnd is wraps the Window handle and window handle related API's into a single Class.

Override the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message handler , like this :

void CYourClass::OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags , CPoint point)
{
//...
SendMessage(WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN,HTCAPTION);
//...
}

It should work. Otherwise use GetItemData() which returns LVITEM structure, it has a member variable which displays the item text.

What kind of reply is that? Still as useless, but NOAA would have been better.

Some years ago I developed a web application that displayed weather forecasts from different countries/cities. We got the information from XML files served periodically by Reuters. You can do it as well from VC++ using MSXML.

I don't know if Reuters still serve these files but there are other that does.

I hope it helps,
