I have a program that finds trading opportunities. I want to be able to provide the ability to auto fill the order information in third party trade order-entry programs. What is a good place to start to build this? This is on Windows XP. So far I have looked at GetWindowLongPtr and SetWindowLongPtr. If anybody has any sample code that would be awesome.

This list is awesome

Quit whining about the H1Bs. For the IT industry to stay competitive in a free market scenario it has to go with the best quality at the best price available. If you want 200K a year to make web apps - you are going to be dissapointed. It's capitalism so get used to it. Protectionism of domestic industry in the face of competition is a communist measure and I thought you all are against that form of government, right? I think the pay for programmers is quite reasonable for what programmers do. Programming is a job done equally well sitting anywhere in the world. If the wages here become too high there won't be any programmers in the country left. BTW I am not on an H1b. The next thing industry needs to do is import doctors and lawyers so that their fees go down too :-)
