Make the scrolling stop ...

Eh, Why couldn't you just write a function that locks the chat temporarily ...

That's the solution I decided to go with. But right now I just plan to call LockWindowUpdate (I think that's it) when the chat is locked, then unlock it. I might not be able to do this though, for one, I'm not sure if you're able to select text and copy it if the window is locked (silly me, yes you can).

Also, I don't think I'll be able to add users to the channellist because drawing in the given window will be disabled...

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Something like:

Code Select Expand


LockWindow(rtbChatOutput.hWnd)


Might work, before were you using the dialog's hwnd?
