John Thanks but I have the want return, vertical scroll and AutoVScroll set and the text does not scroll. I snapshot the text already in the Edit Box (if any) with GetDlgItemText(hWnd, IDC_EDIT3,textBuff,1024), then add the new text to it and use SetWindowText(hWnd,IDC_EDIT3 ,textBuff) to display the text to IDC_EDIT3. The Vertical Scroll Bar is being updated (it changes size) but I cannot move it and the text is not scrolling down. Any other ideas ? Thx G. Weideman

You may find that the features you're trying to use aren't available on the platform you're targetting. Ensure you've selected the right platform. Alternatively, the functions you're trying to use may not even exist on CE. For example, system has never been present. Use the Windows function CreateProcess instead. iostream.h is obsolete and non-standard anyway; you should be using the newer standard <iostream> header. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Did you add the appropriate entry to DoDataExchange()? This is something that ClassWizard would do for you. "The pointy end goes in the other man." - Antonio Banderas (Zorro, 1998)

pMyApp = (CMyWinApp*)AfxGetApp(); and there is also pMyWnd = (CMyWnd*)AfxGetMainWnd(); Or just keep it global or "delivere" it into as function parameter.
