That's a great suggestion. Do you have in mind any messages in particular that need strings?
I think this could be implemented by enclosing the strings in double quotes to differentiate the from numbers. For example, "100" would be the string 100 rather than a number. However, if the value is inside a variable, it would be harder to make this work. Obviously anything non-numeric would be treated as a string, but how to differentiate between a pure-numeric variable and one containing a string... maybe an optional prefix character such as * in front of wParam and lParam. |

i think corrupt meant strings for message names only... like using 'wm_command' directly. but do wparam and lparam accept strings too?

I meant what Chris thought I meant . I also like the idea of using 'WM_COMMAND' as it's easier to remember but it's not really necessary. Yes, in some messages strings are acepted.

I did... but for some reason I seem to be drawing a blank on what they were at the moment   .

A prefix sounds ok to me... *%myvar% |
