Hi -
I am writing a DLL file to use with Microsoft Word 7, I use Borland C++
Builder. My problem is: Can I get a handle to the current document
window in Word so that I can mess with it directly from the DLL?
Specifically, I want to set the background colour of the document
window.
Cheers,
Peter
1. weird Word 6 -> Word 7 .WLL migration problem (window subclass)
Hi all. I'm migrating a .WLL built for Word 6 and Windows 3.1 to work
under Windows 95 and Word 7 (aka Word 95). In the startup code for this
.WLL, I subclass the main Word window using a SetWindowLong with
GWL_WNDPROC. When I do this with Word 7, everything works like a champ
until I do something in Word that causes a dialog box to pop up. Very
shortly after the dialog box appears, Word crashes with a page fault.
Here's the weird part: if I have something like Spy running before I
perform that action that causes the dialog box to appear, everything
works
fine and dandy. Also, Spy does NOT have to be running before I start
Word.
Everything still works fine if I start Word thereby performing the
subclass
and then start Spy before the dialog appears.
Environment-wise, the original .WLL was compiled 16-bit using VC++ 1.52
under Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and the new Word 7 stuff is compiled
32-bit using VC++ 4.0 under Windows 95.
Anybody got any ideas? I'm stumped.
