SetWindowData() is your friend. It allows you to store data against the Window Handle. When you create the window, call SetWindowHandle and stash your REALobject instance reference in there. You can use GetWindowData to retrieve your REALobject instance from the HWND passed to the WndProc. -- Kind regards, James Milne _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
