How to detect mouse click in the child window created by the CHTMLEDITVIEW VC++. NET

Hi,

Seek help urgently.

Anyone knows how to detect mouse clicks in the child window view that was created by the CHTMLEDITVIEW (base class) MFC of VC++.NET 2003

i.e. When i clicked "File-> Open-> " powerpoint.ppt" ( document )

The powerpoint slide will open in a MDIChildWnd. ( if i am not wrong, it is a web browser view ) I tried to use the WM_ONLBUTTONDOWN events provided in the CChildFrame, but i could not detect any mouse clicks.

I have tried searching for solution but i couldnt find any.

Can anyone help im stucked in this problem for almost a week.

Really appreciate if anyone could help.

tks.

Hi brian,

tks for the tips on that.

I used the Spy++ to check which class is it when i open powerpoint.ppt. It is "paneClassDC".

I read on some examples is that people used the FindWindowEx() to find the exact window class. and after which used PostMessage() to check for mouseclicks events.

1. But I am rather new to C++. So I have a problem on where to insert this FindWindowEx() into my project. Is it the CMainFrame.ccp, CChildFrame.ccp, CXXXView.cpp, CXXXDoc.ccp, CXXX.ccp

2. Next, HWND FindWindowEx(
HWND hwndParent,
HWND hwndChildAfter,
LPCTSTR lpszClass,
LPCTSTR lpszWindow
);

Where can i get the HWND for the child as well as the class name and window name

will u be able to give me some hints or advices or examples.

Thanks so much.

Sorry, your questions are going outside the scope of this forum, which is to assist on using VC++ as a tool. I could try to scrape the cobwebs off of my memory of this but you would be better off asking a forum populated by UI experts. I would continue your investigation with these guys: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.win32.programmer.ui&lang=en&cr=US

Use Spy++ to figure out which window is receiving the mouse event.
