Windows messages
Post by Nick on Sep 25^th, 2011, 10:07pm

Hello again Richard,

I got my unicode text box app working nicely - I set up a simple form of IPC with the companion apllication. It works perfectly in Windows XP.

But it doesn't work in Windows 7. It seems that although the text box (BBC) app is running correctly etc, when the companion app tries to send it messages, they all come back with null values.

I have set both the companion app and the BBC based text box app to win XP compatibility settings, but the messages do not work as they do flawlessly in XP...

Is there something simple that I need to factor in with Windows 7 and windows messages??

The messages concerned are custom ones that I have subclassed after using RegisterWindowMessage to get application specific msg values...

Thanks

Nick

It sounds from your description like a privileges issue. Try running the programs 'as administrator' to see if that makes a difference.

Do you need to run the two processes independently, or can they be run from a common 'launcher' app? Doing that should help if it's a privileges thing.

Richard.
