_FindWindowP( ) API Library Routine

  • Article

Places the handle of the window that the point pt belongs to on the screen into wh.

int _FindWindowP(WHANDLE FAR *wh, Point pt)
WHANDLE FAR *wh;      /* Pointer to window handle. */
Point pt;                     /* Point in pixels. */

Remarks

_FindWindowP( ) returns an integer indicating the portion of the window where the point is located. For possible return values, see _FindWindow( ) API Library Routine.

For more information on how to create an API library and integrate it with Visual FoxPro, see Accessing the Visual FoxPro API.

Example

The following example waits for a left mouse button click and then uses _FindWindowP( ) to get the window handle for the mouse down position.

Visual FoxPro Code

WAIT WINDOW "Click Mouse In Window" NOWAIT
SET LIBRARY TO FINDWINP

C Code

#include <pro_ext.h>

void putLong(long n, int width)
{
   Value val;

   val.ev_type = 'I';
   val.ev_long = n;
   val.ev_width = width;

   _PutValue(&val);
}

FAR FindWindowEx(ParamBlk FAR *parm)
{
   WHANDLE wh;
   Point mousePos;
   int where;

//  Get mouse position when left button goes down
   while (_InKey(0, MOUSEACTIVE | HIDECURSOR) != 151);
   while (!_MousePosP(&mousePos));
