The private function __getHWndFromixWindow() allows you to get to the internal windows handle from your NewEra graphical objects. From there it is possible to do just about anything. The clik manual has some examples of how to integrate c and C++ code into NewEra and how to get windows handles and instances. What version of NewEra are you running (I have assumed that you are on a Microsoft platform) ? There are slightly different calls to the SDK depending on which OS you are running. The clik manual along with a good windows programming book, e.g. Charles Petzold's Programming Window's 95, should get you well on the way. Dalton
