Yes using VS2010. Thank you again.

Thank you. Are there any links you can recommend to read on?

You are right, either a bug or a feature one or the other. Is there a way to use the WM_MOUSEMOVE and WM_LBUTTONDOWN and achieve the same result?

it sure does, I thought the HWND to the window would have solved it. I know for a fact that i have different HWND because I get different values and i get the same values when i check it through SPY

TRUE!!! I totally agree with you. However I was trying to avoid using the EnumWindows Function.
But looks like thats the only option to use.
Thank you all.

I am sorry, I should have mentioned this is an external app.
I am starting up the target application using "ShellExecute".
I don't have the code for the target application.
Once I execute that I am looking for the HWND of the target window.

I tried doing this. I got a compile error.
RGBA: Identifier not found.

Thank you. The question I would like to ask now is how load the image for RGBA?

I can use MFC.

Thank you.

I am sorry. I must have not mentioned in my question. I haven't pasted the part I do the totaling. The totaling is easy.

Thank you for your input. It's greatly appreciated. I guess I have work cut out for me. Any suggetion as to what book or a good article to read on threads?

I looked at a couple on here and was trying to create this small app to understand threads and syncrinization.

Thank you. I will try that. :)

I am just starting to learn. I do appreciate the feed backs. I am kind basically self teaching trying to read samples and articles. :(... However it's all good. I hope I haven't missed anything in the code.. That was just a dummy tryout.

I have posted the code I am using... If there is anything I have missed would greatly appreciate the feed back(good or bad).

Thank you. I will read on the articles.

I am using AfxBeginThreads. I have been using it for a while. Not having any problems so far.

If I let the threads run without Semaphore and I pause the creation of the threads before I exit, I don't get memory leak, however my threads are not in sync. As soon as I use semaphore my threads are in sync but when I exit I get memory leak.

I have been reading and trying to understand. However, I am not sure what else am I using to get the actual coordnates after I use HORZRES and VERTRES. I can only for sure do a multiplication with the 2 numbers, however not sure from the list what to use to divide the result by.

One last question I hope. How do I convert the screen coordinates that I got from WM_PAINT to the client coordinates?

Well I really appreciate the help and Ty all.

When you mention Subclass : In short It's the same as hooking and monitor the changes.
I am new at this. I have been reading as thats how I am learning programming is hands on.
Well appreciate the feedback.

Espen Harlinn:

I am just learning to programme. If I understood your Solution correct. In short first I would be creating a Hook for WM_PAINT to the thirdparty application and if WM_PAINT gives location of the paint, I should have the full 100% from this process.
If I am right, there will be work cut out for me. :)
Thank you.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov:
Yes. I am trying to replace it just short of that 3-5%. However it's been a pain. It's just I am learning to programme at the same time.
Code-o-mat:
Yes. It does fail. However I am short of that 3-5% to be able to reverse engineer and replace it.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You right. I am having perfomance issue and am just searching on BITMAPINFO. I guess, I have work cut out for me on reading. I was expecting a quick resolution before I finished reading. Guess not going to happen.
BTW the above code works as part of a function, its just slow. not just slow VERY SLOW. So yes you right with WOW! :(
