Well, thanks, I tried every possible casting, this one must have slipped
under the carpet.
============================================================
I still have some questions to go, if you would be so kind.

Why doesn't the function 'BringWindowToFront(HWND)' (and others from same
group) don't do anything when called inside a dll-function but DO work when
called in an application?

//My DLL
static HWND GhWnd;

//called first
void __export MySetHandle(HWND hWnd)
{
    GhWnd=hWnd;
}
//on mouse button down
LRESULT CALLBACK __export GetMsgProc(int code,WPARAM,wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{
    if(wParam==WM_LBUTTONDOWN)
    {
        Beep();                                            //it really beeps
        BringWindowToTop(GhWnd);        //does not do anything
    }
}

greetings,

Henk
