Notify when form is created

[javierbalk]

Hi all:

I am making an ActiveX control and I need to be notified when a new form is created in the client application. Now I am subclassing the form where my ActiveX control is placed and I found that the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING message fires every time a new form appear, and then I look in the Forms collection every time I have this message in order to see if there is a new form, but it seems to be not sure, so I am looking for another message or a way to subclass the entire program and find a message that notify me about a new window. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Javier

Hi javierbalk,

Try sublclassing the WM_NCCREATE message.

"The WM_NCCREATE message is sent prior to the WM_CREATE message when a window is first created."

Set up a CBT hook. It will notify you if/when a new window is created.
