dialog and message to another window

[stephd]

Hi, I've a dialog with a toolbar in it.
Some of the messages send by the toolbar are not used by the main dialog but by a child window (a static control derived class) and that's the problem... How to pass the message to the child window ?

I suppose i need to do this in PreTranslateMessage of the main dialog but how ?

If anybody has an idea, thanks in advance

Hi, hit the FAQs tab above and find my FAQ on Windows Messaging under the 'programming' section. This will give you step-by-step instructions on how to message other windows and pass information between them.

thanks for the info. I will read it.

However, i think i found a solution : just override OnCommand function because all WM_COMMAND goes throught it and toolbar "events" are WM_COMMAND messages.

I think to pass messgaes from one window you can use SendMessage/PostMessage too as SendMessage functions sends the specified message to a window or windows.
