Hi,  

  Has anyone experience of integrating a third party application with Forms   4.5 under Windows 3.1 using ORA_FFI, where an external DLL transfers data   from the third party application back to Oracle Forms in an asynchronous   manner ie. if data is available some external event is generated which   causes Forms to retreive the data.    

  Specifically I'm attempting to use a window handle and an item handle from a   Forms Window, sending these to a DLL and then listening for activity in the   third party application. The DLL dispatches the data back to the Form via a   windows message queue, which generates an Forms trigger.  

  Appears to work fine until you attach a menu module to the Form.

  Any ideas why this is happening ?

Kind Regards,
