I know it's not the *normal* thing to try to capture this non event, but for my application its something I need to know. If the popup is displayed to a user, I need feed back as to whether they selected an item, or if the menu itself was ignore/canceled.

I appreciate your help, again thanks.

srod, that's exaclty what I was trying to do. Thank you.

Thanks Derek.

I do get the event when a menu item is chosen, but how do I check a *non* event for when the menus hidden. That's the part that is slipping through my fingers.

I'm trying to determine if an item was selected in one of my popup menus or if the menu was hidden by clicking somewhere else. I've tried setting a variable to false before calling DisplayPopupMenu, setting it to true in my EventMenu routine, then checking its value after DisplayPopupMenu, but am ...

For me, its PureBasic, I purchased PowerBasic7, and waited for the release of 8. I honestly was so dissapointed with the update, that I never even purchased the upgrade.

As for EZ GUI. I own PwrDev and FireFly and have used them with PB with great results. I've never tried EZ GUI. Mostly because ...

I'd like to show a non modal dialog from within a DLL. Is using CreateThread safe this way? Should I use a Mutex? Should I use the /THREAD commandline when compiling the DLL? As you can see I'm a little fuzzy on what my best options are.

I've got an image gadget and would like to have things happen both on Left Mouse Click, and Left Mouse Double Click.

Using an Select or If in my events loop, the Left Click fires on the first click. This makes sense, but how do I allow the Left Double Click to fire if its an actual Double Click and ...

I agree, but the concept was to not need to worry about that and simply let the DLL get the handle. Netmaestro's code seems to work perfectly when I use it in PB, but if I try it in a DLL, I do not get the handle I need.

So, the answer for me in this instance is to make the handle a parameter that ...

Passing the handle is an option, but if I can obtain the handle through code I'd rather do that.

Good point, but in this case I know there will always be a window.

Thanks. I should know by now to be as specific as possible.

The solution you provided would work as long as the window is the active window. The problem comes if the app doesn't have focus and the function is called, it would give me the wrong handle. The DLL function will more than likely be ...

I'm writing a DLL and would like to be able to obtain the handle of the calling applications window programmatically rather than passing it as a parameter. All the things I've tried seem to fail.

Any ideas?

Got it... thanks to all.

I have browsed the help file many-a-time and missed the blurb on pointer needing the * in front of them all the time.

Feels good

Thanks... I've tried the methods described, and many different variations of my own, and having very little luck. I think its my bad understanding of how a pointer is used in PB thats knocking me down.

Here's the function I'm trying to convert. szBuffer is a pointer to a character buffer that will ...

I have the source to a C++ SDK that I'd like to try convert to PB. Would someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction on how to convert the parameters to the correct variable types.

example C++:
int foo(char* szBuff, int* pnBuffSize, char* lpszInfo)

Thanks.
