eh, sorry, forgot to reply... it all worked out fine :) Mem leaks found and resolved, thanks a lot for the tip! :)

yeah, I changed all it around... problem is tho, as soon as I change UNICODE,_UNICODE to _MBCS, I get about 5 unresolved externals... I'm using the DLL for native coding with Unreal Script, the script can call to the DLL and uses the core and engine of the game for game-specific functions, apperently those only support unicode... Which is terribly odd, cuz the game runs on ANY windows... - Fahr

FindFirstFileW is the wide-char version of FindFirstFile. somehow, you've made the compiler think it needs be using this version instead of FindFirstFileA (the single-byte version). I'm not the droid you're looking for. ThumbNailer

I think Fahr's problem is similar to my problem.I want to explain more , maybe someone could solve our problem. I wrote a program that someone could choose items from a toolbar and put them on the document by clicking left button of mouse on the view. I considered a CRectTracker variable for each symbol and in the OnDraw function I draw each symbol's tracker's rectangle.And for selecting each symbol which is shown on the page I check if the position of left click of mouse is in the tracker of any of the symbols or not.At the beginning I used CView class but now I want to use CScrollView in order that my program could support scrolling.I changed the base class of my view class to CScrollView and write some lines in its OnInitialUpdate in order to set the size of scrolling.Now I scroll my program but when I put an item on the page and scroll the page , in some places that my item doesn't exist , it seems that its tracker exists and if I move it or delete it or sth else , those changes would be applied on the real item that is somewhere upper than there. I think I should change the coordinates of the CRectTracker variable of my item , but I don't know how. Thanks Azadeh

Also, I stumble upon the following error when I try to define the OnTextReceived function: c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\msntest\stdafx.cpp(23) : error C2084: function 'long __thiscall Messenger::DMsgrObjectEvents::OnTextReceived(struct Messenger::IMsgrIMSession *,struct Messenger::IMsgrUser *,class _bstr_t,class _bs tr_t,short *)' already has a body what am I supposed to do with that? I'm guessing it is redifined or something?? I don't get it... Sorry if I sound too much like a noob, this is all just new to me :P And on another note, can I make it like a class in my classview? It would be a lot easier I think... Thanks, - Fahr
