try Jedi library TJvaCaptionButton which places a button there. It would be a simple process to convert this to a caption/ message component instead of a button.

Subject: [DUG]: Trapping when a window is repainted

Hi all.

Well, after having a wee bit of spare time.....FINALLY....I have been having a play with a wee idea I wanted to look at for ages.

What I wanted to do, was draw some text on the caption of the active window.

I have a wee app. that outputs some data that I would like displayed on every active forms caption, just to the left of the minimize, maximize and close window.

I have been able to do this. Its actually quite easy.

BUT, what I want to know IS, is there a way to trap the windows messages for that window? i.e. if the form is moved, so I can redraw the text back onto the caption bar.

Can I trap these messges with windows hooks, i.e. create a DLL to do the journalrecord stuff?

 

Thanks,

 

Jeremy Coulter
