Well, that only "works" by chance. You're returning a pointer to the local variable allText which immediately goes out of scope. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~!

Anyone have any ideas? :confused:

I didn't need to. I know the class name in the dialog that i need. The problem was getting the handle to the dialog itself. I had to enumerate through the all handles at the sub desktop level.

Thanks for your replies!! I managed to get it working on my own. However the two suggestions to the problem wouldn't work. The first one this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load); I think only applies to C#. I'm trying to get a forums VB project to run. I believe that the InitializeComponent method is usually hidden in VB projects in VS .NET so that's why i couldn't get it to work. The AutoEventWireup=true (instead of the default being = false) is only a performance switch. I think it allows you to manually trigger events instead of automatically triggering them. To fix my problem, I noticed that my Page_Load method was defined as Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) instead of Public Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load ..that worked. Thanks for your responses though!!

I open up query analyzer and click the drop down up top to choose my db and then copy and paste the sql file into it and click the run button...

I've added a MouseController to http://nunitforms.sourceforge.net/news.html[^]. This code is well documented (I believe) with NUnit test case. Cheers, Richard Schneider
