Or to rotate basically anything at all (not just text): CPaintDC dc(this);   int OldGMode = SetGraphicsMode(dc.m_hDC, GM_ADVANCED); static const double pi = 4*atan(1.0); // Gives up pi. static const double a = 30*(pi/180); // Angle in radians. XFORM xf = {cos(a), sin(a), -sin(a), cos(a), 0, 0}; SetWorldTransform(dc.m_hDC, &xf);   int OldBkMode = dc.SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT); dc.TextOut(0, 0, _T("This text is rotated.")); dc.SetBkMode(OldBkMode); dc.Rectangle(100, 100, 200, 200);   SetGraphicsMode(dc.m_hDC, OldGMode); NOTE: Doesn't work in 95/98/ME Steve

You can use inter-process communication for communicate two or more processes. Take a look Threads, Processes & Inter-Process Communication title. Ahmet Orkun GEDiK

Yes, you can do so. You can make the pointer as a syetem parameter which will be sent to another application. And the another application will get the system parameter--the pointer when the specified application is going to run. I guess you are sure to know that an application can accept command line that is just system parameter. Good luck! stanley

VB6 can not create DLLs that export functions like C++ can. It can only create COM DLLs.

No. Handles are unique to an application's memory space.
