Could somebody e-mail on how to create groups and items in Program Manager? Will it also work in Windows 95? Please email me with this information and possibly examples. Thanks. email: Chris_Watson_at_ATLMAIL@burlington.marcam.com

You have to establish a DDE conversation with PROGMAN. It is not trivial. I suggest "Windows 3.1: A Developers Guide", Jeffrey M. Richter, M&T Books. It covers this and other useful tricks and comes with a disk. Kevin

I guess you can also connect to API DLL and use the 2 following functions : + CreateProgManGroup (or sth like that...) + CreateProgManItem I did it pretty easily inVB3, but I guess TPW does the same...

Thanks. >email: Chris_Watson_at_ATLMAIL@burlington.marcam.com Well, I don't have time to get you the exact details...but you can add/edit groups in windows by editing the ".ini" file in windows directory. It is in ASCII text format so your program could very easily manipulate the file. Good Luck ! Syed

This solution won't work with Win95 as the original poster wanted, because Windows after 3.11 uses the registry database to store stuff that used to be in the .ini files. What you need to do is some DDE with the program manager (or whatever shell is loaded). Send it a 'ddeCreateGroup' message or somesuch. Your compiler's documentation should have a reference. If not, go to Microsoft's ftp site (they don't have all the files on their web site yet) and look in their software library: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com >Good Luck ! >Syed /* Eric Kenslow - kenslowe@sparky.oit.osshe.edu * Oregon Institute of Technology, Klamath Falls, OR */
