Thank you again for your effort Martin. As you said, i tried SendMessage-ing WM_CHAR, it works for Notepad and Wordpad. But i couldnot write into Excel or Word file. With SendKeys, I am able to send text to any window. Is there anyway we can do to avoid showing the file? JRK

Thank you Martin. It solves my other problem. But this is different. I dont want the notepad to bring to the foreground. I want to update the openned notepad file while it is in the background. Can you help me? Thanks

Hi pals, I am facing a difficulty with CDC across threads. Actually, i spawn a secondary thread to calculate the display coordinates of the strings. So i am calculating the height and width of the strings based on the font selected in the CDC. It works fine with the scroll view but the calculation goes wrong with the PrintPreview. Bcos ,SelectObject(pMyFont) is always returning NULL. How do i solve this problem. Help me out friends. Thanks in advance. Kumari
