Jase Jennings wrote: I cannot implement a copy constructor for IHTMLElementCollectionPtr's This requirement seems to rule out ANY STL container, as all of these rely on copying. But IHTMLElementCollectionPtr is a smart-pointer to something COM-ish IIRC? So it most probably already has a copy-constructor and reference counting? If not, you can use the BOOSTlibrary and its shared_ptr-template, which can make any pointer into a reference-counting smart-pointer that is fully STL-capable. My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

Thanks for your reply. The article you linked me too has helped me fix the problem. I'm not well acquainted with namespace's, and the article showed me you can exclude symbols as follows : #import < mshtml.tlb > named_guids no_namespace exclude("UINT_PTR", "tagLOGFONTW") // Internet Explorer 5 Thanks again for you help.

Have a look at LB_SETTOPINDEX / CListBox::SetTopIndex. These should help you. Or you could simply send the listbox WM_VSCROLL messages. Iain Clarke.

oh, sorry! Then your only option is to try and connect to some site. Say try connecting to yahoo.com port 80 and if you can connect, you are online, else you are not. Of course there is a danger that yahoo is down. so try two other sites too just to be safe. Try say, microsoft.com and then try google.com Nish p.s. sorry if this is a really stupid idea, but I see no other way.

How did you manage to get an evaluation of Boundschecker? James Spibey I love the word naked, it's brilliant isn't it, 'naked'. When I was a kid I used to write the word naked on a bit of paper hundreds of times and rub my face in it - Jeff, Coupling, BBC2

Take a look at GlobalMemoryStatus(). With this function you can get all the information you need about memory :)

NuMega BoundsChecker; http://www.numega.com They do provide an evaluation version, though not as a direct download. Definately worth a try, as is their TrueTime profiling app.

I have, and whats more i quoted it in my code example. It is the third method i have displayed. It isn't a very reliable method. Any other ideas?
