What do you mean, you "get" that from the server? How are you receiving that text? yes that is what i get from the server when i connect, via recv (s, buffer,bufferSize, 0); Are you sending the appropriate messages to connect to the server, as per the IRC protocol? not sure, according to this all you have to do is send commands like NICK name etc, once you are connected, but it doesn't seem to be working. http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/rfc.html

using a socket I'm connecting to an irc server, when i do i get: NOTICE AUTH :*** Processing connection to efnet.demon.co.uk NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname... NOTICE AUTH :*** Checking Ident NOTICE AUTH :*** Found your hostname NOTICE AUTH :*** Got Ident response this is all i get no welcome message, no matter what i send through this socket i don't get any response. then after a while i get: ERROR :Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (Connection timed out) thanks

im following this article here not quite getting it to work :( http://www.codeproject.com/internet/beginningtcp\_cpp.asp Listening for connection code: int ListenOnPort(int portno, HWND hwnd) { SOCKET s; WSADATA w; int error = WSAStartup (0x0202, &w); // Fill in WSA info if (error) { return false; //For some reason we couldn't start Winsock } if (w.wVersion != 0x0202) //Wrong Winsock version? { WSACleanup (); return false; } SOCKADDR_IN addr; // The address structure for a TCP socket addr.sin_family = AF_INET; // Address family addr.sin_port = htons (portno); // Assign port to this socket //Accept a connection from any IP using INADDR_ANY //You could pass inet_addr("0.0.0.0") instead to accomplish the //same thing.

take a guess :)

i can imaging this being a cool advert :) animal awareness or something ...

i agree with J.Dunlap, is like running onto the road to see the criminal race away only to get nocked over by some random car. the criminal bares no responsibility, i dont think.

dont know any articles but these might help some code in c++ and c# :) good luck

thank you mark :)

no change..

:laugh: Thank You ps have you any idea how to load and use .klc files done with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator

i cleaned it up alot due to experimenting lol but this is it. CODE

hi mark, im using "WH_GETMESSAGE" one of the options here and i should be dealing with this GetMsgProc Function right? obviously not since is not working :sigh: what tells you that im dealing with "keyboard hook proc", more importantly how do i fix it. im practicing to write a dll so i want to get my head around this hooking business. Thank You

im trying to get the WM_CHAR message and this set up is not doing it. i have an edit text box in my window and all im getting is the keydown message when i type to it. LRESULT CALLBACK GetMsgProc(int code, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam){ if(code == HC_ACTION){ MSG* pMsg = (MSG*)lParam; if(pMsg->message == WM_CHAR){ int i=0; i = i +10;//test for WM_CHAR breakpoint } } return CallNextHookEx(g_KeybdHook, code, wParam, lParam); } hook in main: g_KeybdHook = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_GETMESSAGE, GetMsgProc, 0,GetCurrentThreadId()); thanks

oh cool function :omg:

#include #include #include using namespace std; int main(void){ string bi = "1010"; //binary int result= 0; for (int i = 0; i< bi.size(); i++){ if (bi[i] == '1'){ result += pow((double)2,(double)bi.size()-i)/2; } } cout << result << endl; return 0; } that should work

creating scrollbar.... case WM_CREATE: sb1 = CreateWindowEx( 0L, // no extended styles "SCROLLBAR", // scroll bar control class (LPSTR) NULL, // text for window title bar WS_CHILD | SBS_HORZ | WS_VISIBLE, // scroll bar styles 50, // horizontal position 20, // vertical position 200, // width of the scroll bar 100, // default height hwnd, // handle to main window (HMENU) NULL, // no menu for a scroll bar hInst, // instance owning this window (LPVOID) NULL // pointer not needed ); ............. and then in the message loop: //------------------------------------------------- case WM_HSCROLL:{ int xNewPos; // new position switch (LOWORD(wParam)) { // User clicked the shaft left of the scroll box. case SB_PAGEUP: xNewPos = xCurrentScroll - 50; break; // User clicked the shaft right of the scroll box. case SB_PAGEDOWN: xNewPos = xCurrentScroll + 50; break; // User clicked the left arrow. case SB_LINEUP: xNewPos = xCurrentScroll - 5; break; // User clicked the right arrow. case SB_LINEDOWN: xNewPos = xCurrentScroll + 5; break; // User dragged the scroll box. case SB_THUMBPOSITION: xNewPos = HIWORD(wParam); break; default: xNewPos = xCurrentScroll; }; if (xNewPos == xCurrentScroll) break; xCurrentScroll = xNewPos; si.cbSize = sizeof(si); si.fMask = SIF_RANGE | SIF_PAGE | SIF_POS ; si.nMax = 300; si.nMin = 0; si.nPage = 4; si.nPos = xCurrentScroll; SetScrollInfo(sb1, SB_HORZ, &si, true); InvalidateRect( hwnd, NULL, TRUE ); } //-------------------------------------- the new one shows over the old one. i.e the scrollbar with the height of 100 which i set up shows over the one with the default height, and dont update. The old one does update when i press the on the new. visual example, from the code above this happens. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/lamefif/scrollbar.jpg[^] many thanks
