Progress / OE Handle and MS-Windows Handle

[Joel W Winston]

Good Day Everybody.

Could someone tell me a way of mapping the Progress / OE handle to MS-Windows handle.

The reason I ask is - I am using SPY++ (MS-Visual Studio tool) to identify windows in my OpenEdge application and would like to trace that erring window in OpenEdge.

But I am not able to map the handle from SPY++ and the Handle provided by OpenEdge.

Does startup parameter "opaque" has something to do in this direction.

Please let me know if someone has faced a situation like this.

Thanks
Joel

Does Spy++ give you the PID of the process that owns the thread that owns the window?

Yes it does Rob.

If you know the PID of the OE session that created the window then you can attach to that session with the OE debugger and step through your code. That assumes you have a development license, you have the application source code, and you have enabled OE for debugging (proDebugEnable -enable-all).
