Hi, I am trying to make a button bar to quickly switch between specific child windows in my application. I have no problem opening the desired child window with keystroke commands but what I would like to do is check to see if it already exists then just set focus. I tried to use FindWindowWithText ...

Thanks. I will check it out.

Thanks. I can see child windows with "view system windows" but I need to load them into variables at run time. GetWindowList almost works but it only provides the top level windows.

I want to make a toolbar to activate my current windows in my CAD application rather than going to the window menu and choosing them from a list. My first problem is I do not know how to get a list of child windows present. ?

Thanks to you both and yes code folding is a very nice feature.

Make sure you hit Enter,

I believe that was the problem. Thanks.
That adds 150 lines of Glygh code for 1 button (with 5 kb bmp) so I'm thinking I might stay with plain text for my buttons but I cannot get rid of the bitmap. I guess I can just re-create the button.

I entered a file name into the LoadBitmap property of a button but it does not show up on the button. Also the manual makes reference to the Glyph property.. What is that?

Thanks again.

One more question. Why is using the window handle more desirable than using the name?

That's perfect. Thank you both.

I have made a dialog for a specific application. I wish to have it dissapear when the application is minimized or closed and vice versa. Can someone point me in the right direction or supply a sample. Thanks.

Thanks, that works.

That is what I did. MS does not seem to be reading the "left" property. Left is set at 366 and yet the dialog appears at 0. Also when updated to the code window left appears as 266?? http://5sd1yq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p7n5TG8KoCI0Bjp6bRRqbe3LlG0ACqkrLATJD_6zmV524Y5aIEbUn1Q93y7YRgE5jGnTKrRdlqkDlqs...

I am having trouble figuring out the last four choices of the position property for a dialog (form). I am trying to get a borderless dialog at the top of my screen and about 400 pixels to the right for a some custom buttons. I have checked help and the manual. The manual says: "Position Represents t...
