cal state long beach student here...

I'm working on my final project and I'm trying to add an
'always on top' option to the system menu.  All the code
works _except_ for the PeekMessage loop that's supposed
to intercept the SYSCOMMAND message; the loop picks up the
WM_DROPFILES no problem so I'm sort of confused.  Why can't
I read both messages?  I can't even get VB to stop on
a breakpoint set in a Case WM_SYSCOMMAND section.

I've seen a lot in this newsgroup about msgblast.vbx and
I'm going to check that out next, but I'd really like to
avoid adding any VBX's if I can.

If it helps to know, the info I've been using came from
Daniel Appleman's VB programmers guide to the API; you
guys are right, it's a great book.

Thank you, goodbye now, take care....

As i can't afford the book at this time... =( ... could you possible
forward me some information on how to intercept things with the peek
message command? i am looking to trap mouse clicks on the icons in the
system tray... thanks!
