You will have to do this manually i.e. intercept the message for first scroll bar and then move second scroll bar accordingly. Similarly do this for second scroll bar. -Saurabh

Welllllllllll I got side-tracked and now I am finally getting back to this. I was able to use a kind-of brute force recursive search. Using my example, it goes through and finds ABG5. I have also figured out a way to keep track of that. My question now is, how can I have it remember to go back and continue searching from ABxx to find ABN4 and eventually BFT9? Thanks in advance Pierre

Thank you very much

Thank you very much.... But, I was looking for something that I can write into my own code

If you have a good enough ear to tune a piano then all you need to do is tune an octave somewhere in the middle (and a guitar tuner could help with that) and then tune the other octaves from that. If your ear isn't good enough to do that then your results would be pretty poor anyway, even if you can get the frequencies correct. There's a lot more to piano tuning than just getting a string to sound the right frequency.

If so, is there any way you can use overlapped I/O or soething to make it a bit more event driven instead of trying to fine- tune timeslices of threads? Yes sometimes. I am writing test software. Sometimes I have to wait for another piece of test equimpmen to go through it's boot up self test and I have no way knowing when it is done. I do know that it takes it approximately 300 mSec. So I put a Sleep(350) in my code to wait for it. I have recently found, on some newer/faster PCs that the application isn't waiting long enough...

Or you could just use this[^] one. :) /ravi This is your brain on Celcius Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

You can try deleting the file, but chances are it will be in use and it won't be that easy to delete it. Using AdAware or a similar scanner is the way to go. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ

Its hard to say. Nothing in the code you've shown sticks out as a potential problem. Your best bet is to start commenting out code in your application code (not the dll) to get to a point where absolutely everything "works" (that is, no memory problems), and then to slowly umcomment blocks until you see the problem. With these types of issues, sometimes that is the only way to track it down.

Those are sliders.... They give input to the application... they don't report anything... And, to be honest, they don't look like thermometers at all Regards Pierre

Almost... You'll need to use -nHeight, otherwise the height is specified in points, not pixels. Ryan "Punctuality is only a virtue for those who aren't smart enough to think of good excuses for being late" John Nichol "Point Of Impact"
