Need a Guru to help me with the following; will PAY if needed!
My name is Gary I am a programmer in Fox but I am limited in some of the
newer functions and abilities of VFP... I am looking for a way to
caputre/hook into the Windows Messaging System so I can display the messages
that are being sent to a defined window on the screen. There is a way to do
this in basic (I'm not a basic programmer) but here is the we page
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q168/7/95.asp. Windows
sends messages to each of your defined windows telling them how offten to refresh,colors etc.. A API that I'm working with sends a message to the VFP open window and I don't know how to capture it. Here is what the API vendor told me:
************
The following are two Windows messages sent by our API to the applicaton
Window.
WM_UPSDISCONNECT (defined as WM_USER+1)
WM_UPSLINK (defined as WM_USER+2)
Both of these messages use a UPSmsg structure to send message specific data.
UPSmsg is defined as follows.
typedef struct
{
long Statur;
long StatusDesc;
char szMsg[32];
)UPSmsg;
**************
I also opend up a header file for basic which was sent as a sample for
various API calls to find any info relating to the above; here is what I
found: Note this is for BASIC
' UPSlink-specific messages sent to the application window
Public Const WM_USER = &H0400 ' defined by Windows
Public Const WM_UPSCONNECT = WM_USER+1
Public Const WM_UPSLINK = WM_USER+2
If you think you could help or refer me to some GURU it would be
appreciated.
