Thanks Vlad,

I already figured out that it is difficult. I found an example in code to create a button on www.planetsourcecode.com

I tried to get it to work on NT4 and discovered that it is NOT the window hook function that causes the problem. I tried a breakpoint in the message handler and several messages triggered the breakpoint.

Can somebody explain why the buttonclick is not handled in NT ?

BE CAREFUL:
Never close the program using the end button in the IDE, it will cause a crash of the IDE. This program hooks in the message handler, the form unload event restores the original handler.
