Custom Control - Handles?

micieb

Hello everyone,

i have the next issue:

"C/SIDE supports COM technologies in two ways: using custom controls (OCXs) and as an automation controller. This support has a few limitations:
Only non-visual controls are supported. This means that a control cannot be used to add graphical elements to a C/SIDE object (you cannot, for example, add a third-party control to a form). The control can, however, display information and interact with the user in a window of its own."
:shock:
But i have found examples where it is possible to get the focus of a subform etc.... and put a control on it. Mostly these examples are in C++. My question is if there's anybody who has a simple example how he managed to do this? Maybe a source code entry?

Greetings.

You just need to fid out the window handle of the correct window within NAV. There was some example on the forum, try to find it out.
