Great, thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. I should have dug around in MFC a little more before posting.

Yeah, thanks, that's exactly what I ended up doing last night, execpt I used GetCursorPos(), GetWindowRect(), and the PtInRect() function of CRect to check if the cursor position was inside the client rectangle. Thanks for the help. I got it to work without flicker by overriding the OnEraseBackground() method and immediately returning TRUE, which I should have done a while ago, anyway.

Ahhh, thank you very much. I believe this is the answer I was looking for. I had started to suspect that it had something to do with the [oleautomation] tag, but I'm not knowledgeable yet enough to know what I'm doing. Thanks a lot!

Thanks, did you consider also having your chat window being able to stay on top? By the way, I noticed that the chat window didn't have 'close' button. I will wait for 1.0 release. Thanks and good luck! Last Article: Adding VBScript/JScript to C++ App
