Hi,

I'm a rookie to .Net development. I have two VC++
applications, one is an MFC application and another a
VC++.NET managed CONSOLE application. I have to post a
message using Messaging Queues. I broadcast the message
from MFC application using HWND_BROADCAST. Now this event
has to be handled in the managed VC++.NET application.

Can anyone give an idea of how to catch this event
in the VC++.NET managed console application. Or is there a
different approach for this?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
ajju

Hi,

Take a look at Application.AddMessageFilter(), this will enable you to add a
message filter to catch the broadcast message.
Alternatively, you could override the WndProc method of the Form and handle
the message in there.

Hope this helps

Hi,

my managed application is a console application. Can I use these
methods in a Console application, which does not have any form in it.

Regards,
Ajay

Hi,

You can add a hidden form to the console application. And use
Application.Run to start the message loop using an instance of the hidden
form.

Hope this helps
