Using API of Windows 8.1
Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2014 08:47 PM

Hi Fivewinners,

I saw this video of a Brazilian app and all the messages are using Windows 8 API. Could we have this in Fivewin? If yes, how? If not, how to implement it?

Thanks in advance,

Kleyber,

Unless you built a Windows 8 real application you won't be able to use those APIs, sorry it is a Windows 8 limitation (quite absurd, I agree).

I don't know of any workaround to bypass this Windows 8 restriction

regards, saludos

Antonio Mart.

So, there is a light at the end of the tunnel? In my case, I'm only interested on the Windows messages.

Kleyber,

What specific Windows 8.1 messages do you need to use ?

Antonio,

When I use:

  • MsgRun()
  • MsgInfo(), etc...

I would like to have the same format as Windows 8.1 has. For sure, only to work under Windows 8.1.
