Thanks Paul. Fritzables.

Wout - you're an absolute legend !!! Yea, it was the missing quotes that put all things back in order. Thanks a million. Fritzables.

George, you're a legend.... works a treat. Thanks a million. Regards Pete

Thanks Chinna, Much appreciated. Pete

You are welcome, Just a thought that this may come in handy, if do not have the have the handle to the button and have the handle to the parent then you can call ChildWindowFromPoint to get it. I guess that if you know its coordinates then you already have the handle; anyway I thought I would pass that along.

Thanks Christian.... I will see how I go. From what I have read it's got something to do with the Cursor and not so much the mouse. Pete

G'Day Josh, Yep.... look'n good. Thanks again and have a great Xmas. Pete

Great !!! You too have a great X'Mas ...:) Regards, Girish

G'day mate you need to add a reference to System.Windows.Forms to your project Right click the project in VS and select References.... Like I said to you the other day, you can get a HWND from the process object and use Win32 or MFC to send WM_* messages to the notepad window System.IO.Path.IsPathRooted() does not behave as I would expect

Thanks Josh, See how we go..... Pete

G'Day Nish, Thanks for that - all sorted out now. Pete

Thanks all for the help on this one - much appreciated. Fritzables.

Thanks Alok. Pete

Thanks Dave, I have come across from using Borland's Delphi, so it's difficult coming to terms with some of the coding. Fritzables.

Hi there! You should setup your project's settings so that a default form will show at startup. Select your project in the Solution Explorer and right click it. Select Properties on the popup menu. On the dialog than appears you must select Common Properties - General. On the right select the Startup Project. Here is also a sample for showing a form in code: **** Dim frmNewForm as New frmMyForm frmNewForm.Show **** I hope this is what you wanted to know. A programmer's life is good... or is it?? Ek dink nie so nie!

It was announced a couple of months ago. There's various articles on BDN about it, and much discussion on the borland.cppbuilder.* groups. If Kevin's interested in my answer to his question: I've been using C++Builder almost exclusively since version 3 came out, but I started the move to VS 2003/2005 last autumn. I won't be completing the move for several years at least, since I have many current C++Builder applications to support and many more legacy apps I'll be supporting for a long time to come. The "DevCo" announcement just made me feel better about making the change -- I'm tired of using an IDE that's always a poor stepsister to Delphi. :(
