The issue arises because there is no Windows-system API to support hooking into other programs tray icons. So PowerPro, like every other tray substitute, has to cheat and hook into the message stream coming to the tray window itself (the one on the task bar) and filter out tool tip messages which it receives. The tool tips in these messages will use Unicode if the program sending them is a Unicode-using program and PowerPro knows this by using the IsUnicodeWindow system function on the source of the message. If the window is unicode, the tool tip is translated to single byte character with WideCharToMultiByte, using cp_acp (ie system default) code page. Possibly this fails for reasons I don't understand with your setup. I don't know much about code pages and how they function on non- English systems. For active windows, PowerPro uses the built in Windows call WM_GETTEXT to get the window text,and, as part of this call, the Windows sytem takes care of translating from Unicode to single byte characters, if needed. The only way I know to check for unicode is to run the system api IsUnicodeWindow on a window from the program; however, it may be that there are utilities out there that can derive this information from the exe. > > -- > Best wishes, > Slawomir Nowaczyk > ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) > > War doesn't determine who's right, war determines who's left. > ------------------------ Yahoo!
