:-( As I was not a good student in VC++ also, so I don't have any idea of 
what API he has used for this.  But I will try to find some API for this 
thing in MSDN..

THX a lot for this. I have a standard Python distro but I have searched for 
win32all and have downloaded it. And will try to find out the way to do the 
same thing in Python( first how to call a windows API in Python :-).
