How to Modify a Commercial Windows Application to Start an other Application
Regarding the Win3.11 app you speak about. It can be done with a technique
called Cross-task Subclassing. You'll have to do research on this
yourself. It is very involved.
Threads to look at can be found at:
MSDN: Kyle Marsh Safe Subclassing
Desaware, Inc. Dan Appleman has written about Cross Task Subclassing using
the SpyWorks application that Desaware offers, with examples.
