Create A Log

[Fungus]

I'd like to create a log (in an edit box or?)

Like in dup2's patch window, and ImpREC's log window.

How do I go about doing this, I've searched and searched and can find no src on how to do this.

I'd also like to be able to save the log to a file, and be able to scroll the log up and down.

thnx in advance =)

You have to use SendMessage commands. There is a bunch of different ways to use the command. For instance using

invoke SendMessage, eax, LB_ADDSTRING, -1h, offset bufferwhere eax = handle of window, buffer = text to be added

will keep adding lines of text. But there is a lot of different ways to go about doing that. I hope this at least points you in the right direction.

I never used it, but I think I would prefer a simple multiline editbox instead of a listbox.

(ES_AUTOVSCROLL + ES_MULTILINE + WS_VSCROLL)

Then simply using lstrcat for adding text with 13,10 at the end.

Saving the whole stuff will be easier, too, coz you only got 1 string in the end.

Something like:

szInfoText db 'hello',0
sz_13_10 db 13,10,0invoke lstrcat,addr szLog,addr szInfoText
invoke lstrcat,addr szLog,addr sz_13_10
invoke SetDlgItemText,hWnd,IDC_EDITBOX,addr szLog
invoke SendDlgItemMessage,hWnd,IDC_EDITBOX,EM_LINESCROLL,0,7FFFFFFFh; for always seeing the last added line

Tho it might be kinda slow way, if the log's getting really huge...

Here's a crude example of using a list-box to perform the task.
