But I was hoping the code in the dll could somehow register interest in WM_MOVE/WM_SIZE messages for another window, and whenever that window changed positions, the code in the dll would be notified so it could take some action. I.E. Even if I did not control the calling code. I can, certainly, tell the 'user' that they need to pass on Message receipts, but I was wondering if I could 'automagically' do that. Thanks Jeff Kish
