hooking a menu with API?

Hi.

I'm using winAPI commands to insert a menu into another program. That works. Now I need it so if I click the menu item in the other program (there are no sub-menus) it will open a seperate program.

How would I go about doing this?

I'm trying to hook the notification message but i'm kind of ...

No, but I think I figured it out, thanks ;) I threw in some API and it seemed to work good enough.

Drawing on another window or above them all

Hello,

I was trying to figure out how to draw a shape above all windows, or at least just on one.

StartDrawing with DesktopOutput worked at first, but then I brought up the other windows, the shape flickered, and it needs to be solid.

This is what I had:

#wMem=0
Global Mem.l
Mem ...

You could just block all unput entirely:

Code: Select all

Procedure block()
 BlockInput_(1)
endprocedure

Procedure unblock()
 BlockInput_(0)
endprocedure

You could use the GetLocaleInfo API Call, and retrieve the language rather easily. (You DO mean speaking language, right?)

Skinning the Window with Regions

Code updated For 5.20+

This is a simple set of procedures to skin the window into an ellipse, rectangle, or round rectangle. It only needs to be called once (it does not need to be under repeat). It will only work under Windows Operating Systems.

Get PowerScheme Procedure

Code updated For 5.20+

this is a very simple procedure, but works nonetheless.
It finds the power scheme name and description, even if you have a custom scheme.

Doh, you beat me to it freak ;)

If you want to do it the long way, find the extention in the registry, and get the (Default) value of it. Then search for the default value in the registry, and there will be the file type.

Seems logical, but a lot easier (and probably easier for the computer too) to just use the API call ;)
