Hi,

Im pasting a lines to the editor, but i cant get which of the possible RichEdits (supoussing that the user has more than one code displayed) has the focus.

I tried ChildWindowFromPoint and EnumChildProc and i get the handles okay, but how to know which one is the one with focus?

Best Regards

*RichEdit is a pointer to the currently used rich edit, although it doesn't tell you if it has focus or not

Nop, dosent work.
I try this one before but gives me always the handle of the first RichEdit, not the active one.

Im coding an external application that stays on the systray and i want that when i call this app paste some lines to the code that i have active in the Editor, no matters that i have more codes opened on the Editor.

In fact if the calling thread's message queue does not have an associated window with the keyboard focus, the return value is NULL.

I tried to associate both threads

Code: Select all

  Hnd.l = FindWindow_("WindowClass_0","PureBasic")
  Active = ChildWindowFromPoint_(Hnd,WindowX()+100,WindowY()+200)
  Otra = GetWindowThreadProcessId_(Hnd,0)
  Mia = GetCurrentThreadId_()
  result = AttachThreadInput_(Mia,Otra,-1)
  r=GetFocus_()
  SendMessage_(r,#WM_PASTE,0,0)
  AttachThreadInput_(Mia,Otra,0)

But it dosent gives me the handle of the RichEdit so the paste fails, i get some strange handle... i will try to find which handle is it returning me

Why can't you shorten the above to:

SendMessage_(Hnd,#WM_PASTE,0,0)

Why use r=GetFocus_() ? r = Hnd anyway due to SetForegroundWindow...

Because it dosent works in that way.

The handle must be the handle of RichEdit.

Sorry Ricardo, I misunderstood -- I thought Hnd was the handle of
the RichEdit. My mistake!
