Re: OLE Automation and Window handles

Dan,

Sounds like DYMO. I started playing with a formset, so that the main form
could hanle all the properties and buttons and the "subform" could be used
to draw the preview, got side tracked though and ended up using the IAddIn
interface to view the labels via the DYMO gui. Post back if I'm on the right
track and we can swap stories.
