Hi dudes!
Well I need to make a "windows kind task bar" to handle 2 or more programs using windows messaging.
The idea is that one program launchs the programs and give to them some paramateres that serves to comunicate between programs, only it can be posible acces the aplications trought the "task bar".
I declared some windows messages with WindowsMessageRegister() SDK function and next declared a windows message callback function for every one of the messages registered,. i use this functions for switch from the program handler or "task bar" to the program selectionated.
The task bar has to be always active and only switches when the user selects one program to switch to.
I us
e the "lParam" to send the number of the program to switch to, send a message that indicates to the application to activate and, finally, Broadcast the message with SendMessage() SDK function, the other applications catchs the message and compares "lParam",just one of the applications has to bring active depending of the value of lParam, i made this using "MakeApplicationActive()" function of labwindows library.
I make the "task bar program" switch to the selected program but i can make the selected program switch back to the "task bar program" and make this the active application, i tried to send a message from the application to the "task bar" for tell this to bring active using "MakeApplicationActive()" function, but it doesn`t work, just happen that the "task bar" appears 1 second and backs to the applicaction selected.
?How i can perform this operation?
To everyOne guys, thanks!!!!
