Actually it should be supported. What error do you get?

On my system (I'm using VS 2005) GetWindowModuleFileName declaration is in winuser.h.
Furthermore, the function properly works on my XP OS.

Then you probably need to get an updated Platform SDK.

Well that maybe true, but it has nothing to do with the error you reported.

BTW some info about GetWindowModuleFileName failure on XP here [^]

Okay my bad this function work only if the calling process owns the window. using GetWindowThreadProcessId you can get both thread id and process id. Once you have process id then you can simple compare with your process id to check if window belongs to your application.

I am new to C++. I am trying to PostMessage a left mouse click so I can make a desktop sharing application. So far when I post the message, it does not post to the coordinate I make with MAKELPARAM.

<br />
HWND hWnd = GetDesktopWindow();<br />
LPARAM l = MAKELPARAM(30, 50);<br />
PostMessage(hWnd, WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK, 0, l);

The above succesfully clicks the desktop, but at a point completely differnt than 30, 50, as it clicks my start menu bar. Also, using WM_LBUTTONDOWN as opposed to WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK does not do any clicking. Any ideas?

Thanks!

   A few tips, take 'em or leave 'em...

     1: You may want to learn about the differences between screen/absolute coordinates and client coordinates

     2: You may want to learn about which messages use which coordinates (screen or client) and under which circumstances

     3: You may want to learn about how a "click" is a mouse-button down event followed by an up event, and that a double-click event is generally sent by controls that receive two consecutive click events, not by the mouse/system proper

   Peace!

Thanks for the advice. I am aware of the differences between screen coordinates and client coordinates, though I am unsure about number 2. As for number 3, I tried doing a down followed by an up to no avail.

Thanks for the response!

For instance (_UNICODE defined):

TCHAR szABC[]= {0x03B1,0x03B2, 0x03B3, 0x0000};
SetDlgItemText(hDlg, IDC_MY_EDIT, szABC);

to display the first three (lower-case) letters of the Greek alphabet.

Assumming the COleContainer implements a IHTMLDocument interface you will then be able to get the HTMLElement of the Body of the webpage. The HTMLElement class has many different methods for you to access the text of the webpage. If you want the HTML use the InnerHTML method, if you want the plain text, use the InnerText. There is also the corresponding OuterHTML and OuterText - depends on what you are looking for.
