Silly question, but do you have _UNICODE and UNICODE defined? If you don't, TCHAR will equate to char..... and: TCHAR t = 0x01FF; SendMessage(WM_CHAR, (WPARAM)t, NULL); Will truncate t to 0xFF when stored in a char varible. Try being explicte about what character set you are sending - wchar_t t = 0x01FF; SendMessage(WM_CHAR, (WPARAM)t, NULL);

You need to use manifest, there are number of articles that shows how to use them here in CP. I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill - Dire Straits

HWND hwnd = ::GetForegroundWindow(); // if by "current window" you mean the foreground window ASSERT(hwnd != NULL); TCHAR szClass[256] = _T(""); ::GetClassName(hwnd, szClass, 255); if (_tcsicmp(szClass, _T("ConsoleWindowClass")) == 0) { // This is a console window } else { // This is not a console window } I did not compile above code, but you should have got the main idea.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for your helping,Manikandan
