activating windows

[minkowski]

Hi, When a user activates a window (in the program I am writing) I was wondering what message it sends and what function I can use to add some additional functionality when this happens. Thanks for any tips.

WM_SETFOCUS

Hey, Thanks for that, I combined it with HWND SetFocus(HWND hwnd) I was able to add my own functionality. :-D

Your question is sort of ambigious since everything is technicaly a window, even the controls on a dialog. For those, handle the WM_SETFOCUS message. For "main" windows, handle WM_ACTIVATEAPP or WM_ACTIVATE. There's also WM_SETACTIVE for property pages.
