PRB: FindText, ReplaceText Hook Function

This article was previously published under Q96135

SYMPTOMS

When adding a hook function to the FindText or ReplaceText common dialog box, the dialog box is not shown. However, the hook function is receiving messages and the dialog box window does exist.

CAUSE

The hook function is returning FALSE after processing the WM_INITDIALOG message.

RESOLUTION

After processing the WM_INITDIALOG message in the hook function, return TRUE. If your hook function is setting the focus to a specific control, and therefore should return FALSE, add the following code:
   case WM_INITDIALOG:

      ...WM_INITDIALOG code...

      SetFocus(hCtrl);
      ShowWindow(hDlg, SW_NORMAL);
      UpdateWindow(hDlg);
      return(FALSE);
This code ensures that the dialog box is visible.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
