I originally didn't know that post to the parent from the ActiveX control window. &nbsp;But I took a look in the dialog wizard for my parent window, and found a click message handler. &nbsp;That took care of it.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

I have a VC 6.0 app that has an active X control in it. &nbsp;When the user left-clicks in the active X control, I need the parent window to be notified. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Currently, the OnLButtonDown(...) message handler in the ActiveX control is handling the left-click, so the OnLButtonDown(....) handler in the parent window never gets called.<br />
<br />
So, is there a way to continuing handling the mouse click in the activeX control, but ALSO immediately notify the parent window that a left-button-down event occurred?<br />
<br />
Thanks ahead of time.

Handling OnLButtonDown in parent window, when left button down takes place in activeX control

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.

System Programming

Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is an integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ packages to function correctly and are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once
