Does the blocking SendMessage(...) instead og PostMessage help?

Tried SendMessage originally, and couldn't even get the initial stages to work. I have currently got this stuff implemented in InitDialog() of a dialog-based app - and I was in error in my original posting when I said that it only worked when my app exited - I should have said that it only worked once the DoModal() had executed. Is this a clue ??

Assuming you can get the process handle (if your app launched the other app with ::CreateProcess(), for instance), after posting the mouseclick message, try using ::WaitForInputIdle(processHandle, timetowait) like so:
bool bIdle = false;
DWORD dwWaitResult;
dwWaitResult = ::WaitForInputIdle(hProcess, 5000);
switch (dwWaitResult)
{
case 0 :
{
bIdle = true;
}
break;
case WAIT_TIMEOUT :
{
AfxMessageBox("Timed out waiting for idle state.");
}
break;
case WAIT_FAILED :
{
}
break;
}

Hi John and VIP ! Thanks for your input - in the meantime, I seem to have solved the (current !) problem - putting my code in InitDialog() seems to be the wrong place. Thinking about it, I suspect that the message loop (pump) is not activated until window initialisation has been completed. I've moved my code into InitInstance() (and actually removed the main window dialog and DoModal() as I currently don't need it !) and everything now works !!! Thanks again ! Perhaps someone can confirm my suspicions about the message loop and InitDialog() - might help someone else in the future !

You need to make composite activex control.

i am previously ask this question before but i have relise taht my previous question was not easy to understand. 
can any one please teach me how i can pass a object to a function using pointers?
this is normally how i pass a normal variable to a function using a pointer:
<br />
void function(int* ptr)<br />
int main()<br />
{<br />
int num1;<br />
function(&num1);<br />
<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />
wat i wanan do now is something like this:
<br />
class theclass<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
<br />
}<br />
void function(theclass* ptr)<br />
<br />
int main()<br />
{<br />
theclass tc;<br />
function(&tc);<br />
<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />
so what i am trying to do is replacing the int with the object but it have error so could any one please teach me how to do this??
i will greatly appreciated it![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

this is part of my actual code:
<br />
void add_new_item(grahpic_card* gc_add);<br />
<br />
int main()<br />
{<br />
graphic_card gc;<br />
add_new_item(&gc);<br />
}<br />

your suggestion of reference is good too but then i thought fixing his compiler error was first thing to do.

You're just a victim of people (and I use that term very loosely) that have a thick single eyebrow running across their severely sloped foreheads. These individuals are also open-mouth breathers that walk around with a stupid grin on their faces and drool running out of one corner of their mouth. Their IQ is typically "1", just like the votes they cast...

Mellowing out these days John? By the way, I agree with you and a way to track those who have voted you a 1 would be nice.

I had suggested that a mail be send to the poster whose message was voted with info like who voted it and with what, but not many ppl liked it.

Yep. Notice I didn't call them "dim-witted mother f***ers"?
I don't care who votes 1's on my messages - let them wallow in their false sense of power for all I care. What I care about is the morons that vote *articles* based on politics instead of the content of the article.
BTW, how are ya? Haven't seen you post in a while.

Some time people think voting one means that you are voting the person highest vote or some time by mistake they press 1 instead of 5 as 2-4 voting system in my opinion are no use. i.e. answer can be good or bad not medium

You've misspelt graphic_card as grahpic_card!
BTW, you normally pass objects by const reference rather than pointer unless you have a good reason not to.
void add_new_item(const graphic_card& gc_add);
graphic_card gc;
add_new_item(gc);
