Handle WM_COPYDATA from inside a DLL?
-
Hi evey1, I am working on a dll addon for an app1 where i need to retrieve some info from app2. but the app2 sdk allows only to collect data via WM_COPYDATA (it will send you to your window). Now, if I were to make a separate application for this, I would just collect the data from my WindowProc. But here I have to do this from a dll. Also I understand there is no HWND for a dll. One work around this problem i am thinking of is to create a hidden window from the dll and use its windowproc to handle WM_COPYDATA. But is there any other easier way to do this? I am not using MFC but might consider using MFC if this can be done easily. Thanks in advance ppl. - tareq of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most

Your idea of creating a hidden window from the DLL is the right way to do this.
