ah ok :P
yes i tried PostMessage(WM_VSCROLL, SB_BOTTOM, 0); and SendMessage(WM_VSCROLL, SB_BOTTOM, 0);
they do not work right if i dont add an Invalidate() after that but even after i do.. they cause the annoying flicker problem which i said at my first post
your last solution doesnt work.. funny i can see the scrollbar flickering up and down but no change to the text area. lol.
thanks again

I recreated the problem in Wordpad, as you mentioned before, and created a program to send window messages to it to fix it. And this is what worked for me. You can send these messages from within your own program where necessary. I only made a seperate app, because I couldn't just rewrite wordpad :-P
::SendMessage(HandleOfRichEditControl, WM_VSCROLL, SB_LINEDOWN, 0);
::SendMessage(HandleOfRichEditControl, WM_VSCROLL, SB_ENDSCROLL, 0);
The one with ENDSCROLL may not be needed, but it is sent after LINEDOWN when I press the down arrow on the scroll bar. So it may be needed for more accurate emulation of the user pressing it. Who knows.

ah sorry for the late reply.. yeah it works.. same goes for SB_BOTTOM but the problem is it creates some flicker.. you could see the lines going up and then down very fast.. i just need to find a way to scroll it down and not have that flicker.. thats all and i have no idea..
thanks

It should only flicker as you're resizing, which shouldn't be that big of a deal? If it's flickering all time you probably have the scrolling code in the wrong place.
A lot of controls flicker during resize AFAIK. You should be able to search up ways around that. I think it involves drawing the dialog off-screen and then repainting it on-screen, like a double buffer. I'm sure there are other ways too. I just know that you'll be able to find something.

that flicker is because the rich edit always scrolls the caret into view.. which is a scroll by line.. to get rid of that flickering i would have to disable that rich edit "feature" i dont think you understood what i meant by flickering.. its not the standard light flickering.. its a very bad flicker which can be very annoying on slower pc's, it moves the whole text up one line then down.. this is very noticeable.. i tried many ways.. like ignoring WM_PAINT while resizing but didnt make any change.. i got no idea

Have you tried SetSel to move the caret to the end of the text, so this way it doesn't have to scroll it into position.
SetSel, I think that's the name, should take 2 parameters, the first selected character and the last selected character. If they are the same, then it just moves the caret to that position.
Should be something like...
int Length = GetLength();
SetSel(Length, Length);
SetSel may even have a third bool parameter too that tells it whether to scroll to the newly selected text.
Using SetSel and telling it to scroll to the newly selected text may even fix the other scrolling problem. Good Luck.

thanks, SetSel only has 2 parameters.. anyway i meant even if the selection was at the end of the text it still tries to scroll it in its way (like line by line) which causes the flicker, when i try to force it stay down it first goes up one line and then down
i hope this made sense.. if not please tell me and ill explain again :P
if there was a way to slow down the PC a lot or just the application you could see it very clearly whats happening lol
btw i dont think i have said this before.. but if you look at MSN Messenger you will see that it doesnt have any flickering problem and im pretty sure it uses the rich edit control.. but yea its made by microsoft so they know the rich edit's secret lol
but theres also GameSpy Arcade.. which works without a problem i dunno how they do it.. all i see is that they put in a custom scrollbar.. but i dont see how that helped this is because of auto vscroll, actually really check this out.. remove the auto vscroll property and it will never flicker.. you have to remove vertical scroll as well..

I have a windows client application, which I want to use to communicate with a server application running on a different machine in the same LAN. To make it user friendly, instead of asking the user to input the host IP addres of the server to the client application, I want the client application to do a query in the LAN, and find out what the candidate server's IP address is, and all the user has to do is to confirm that that's the one to communicate with.
I have no clue how I can get this done. Any hint would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

This[^] control will provide the source code to determine the list of visible servers on the LAN.

ravi, Thank you for the link.
but the server I am thinking of is not a generic server. It's just an application which runs on another computer, but serves as server in a client/server software.
maybe I can use broadcast function, but is there any better way to implement it?
for example, D-Link has a network storage adapter DNS-120. It has a built-in FTP server, so files can be accessed over the internet, when the disk is connected to this adapter. It has an application called "Easy Search", which is to easily locate DNS-120 units for configuration.
What I want is similar to this "Easy Search", that is, click a button on this "Easy Search" application, it will return the IP addresses of my "DNS-120" units in the same LAN.
English is not first language, so I hope I made myself a bit more clear now.
Thank you for any hint!

Discovery mechanisms such as this (and license severs) work by listening on a specific port. The server code needs to support a ping/ack request, in which case, all you need to do is ping the specific port on all visible servers in your LAN. The ones that respond are eligible candidates for your client.
The ping/ack support can be made more useful if the server is smart enough to return additional information (eg: load, etc.) which would make it easier for your clients to select the appropriate one.
Hope this helps!

PS: Your English is fine.

thank you very much, ravi.
now I understand the principle. Is there any tutorial material I can read to learn more? I'm pretty new to the network programming. what I have done is limited to very basic stuff, such as one-to-one send/recv applciation.
thanks again!

Use NetServerEnum() for this.
Once you can successfully enumerate through all machines in your LAN, then you can go about "pinging" their ports.

I am trying to create a "Wife is coming" button. The present process of deleting the brower history, temporary internet files, cookies, etc has too many clicks and is too time comsuming (considering the wife is coming and will go straight to the history to find evidence of my porn surfing -- yeah, i'll say it; i'm whipped).
Anyway, I need a 1-click solution. I already know how to create an icon in the internet explorer task bar that will run a .exe or .vbs file using regedit.exe. Now I need a file to run that will do what Internet Explorer does when it deletes the cache, history, etc that I can link to the icon in the registry.
I know that when I click the "Delete All" button in IE7, the rundll.exe process turns on for a few seconds until the cache is clear, then ends when it is finished. What I need to know is what .dll is being run to delete the cache and can I create a .vbs file that can do the same thing?
Any help I can get is greatly appreciated.

That's almost what I am looking for, however, what I really need is a .vbs or .bat file that will use rundll.exe to do everything. Is this possible? How does IE7 delete it's history/cache? I am almost certain it uses rundll.exe. I just don't know which .dll it uses. (possibly wininet.dll or occache.dll???) Even if I knew which .dll is used, I need the correct code to make the .dll delete everything I want it to delete.

Honestly, I would look for a program called CCleaner
It basically is a secure "wife is coming" button. You can just have it erase once instead of the DoD 15 times or w/e it is, that'll make it faster.
If you were looking to make your own for the challenge tho, I really don't know; I'm just suggesting something that's already out there.

Use GetSystemTime(), or time().

Use printf(), or cout.
