My goal is to be able to say when a user clicks a Word toolbar button to be able to "know" what that button was. So that I might provide some feedback or something. Regards, Radu.

You wouldn't want to in any case, because GetMessage *removes* the messages from the queue. If you COULD get them, then Word WOULDN'T get them, and the display would be screwed up. It IS possible to monitor the message queue for another application by creating a Windows hook, using SetWindowsHookEx. The WH_CALLWNDPROC or WH_GETMESSAGE hooks might do what you want. This can't be done from Python, because this actually does inject the code directly into other processes. What are you trying to accomplish? There isn't really very much of interest in a window message queue. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 ___________________________________________________________ Want ideas for reducing your carbon footprint?
