Thread: Timer/Loop on Listbox

I need to make a listbox refresh, but cannot get it to work. IDK what's wrong and IDK if I should be using a timer or loop to refresh it. Also, when I read from memory into the listbox, I am currently using LBS_SORT style, but I want it to read into the listbox in order as it is reading it, not alphabetically. Any suggestions? Here's my coding for the listbox:

Code:

//main.cpp
#include <windows.h>    
#include <commctrl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "main.h"


BOOL CALLBACK DoListboxProcess(HWND hDlg, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    HWND hwnd;           
    DWORD pid;
    HANDLE process;

    int x, y, z;
    DWORD iAddress = 0x4BD7AFC6;
    DWORD dummy = 0;
    unsigned char value[512];
    char outvalue[32];

    switch (message) {
        case WM_INITDIALOG:
           
			hwnd=FindWindow(NULL, "Halo");
            SendDlgItemMessage(hDlg, IDC_PLAYERLIST,  LB_RESETCONTENT, 0, 0);
            GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &pid);
            process = OpenProcess(PROCESS_VM_READ
                |PROCESS_VM_WRITE|     
                PROCESS_VM_OPERATION    
                |PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION, 
                FALSE, pid);
            for(x = 0; x < 16;x++)
            {
                ReadProcessMemory(process    // handle to the process
                    ,(void*) iAddress,     // address to start reading
                    (void*) &value,        // address of buffer to place read data
                    sizeof(value)          // number of bytes to read
                    ,&dummy);              // number of bytes read
                z = 0;
                for(y = 10; y < 32; y+=2)
                {
                    outvalue[z++] = value[y];
                }
                outvalue[11] = '\0';
				
				
                SendDlgItemMessage(hDlg, IDC_PLAYERLIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)outvalue);
                iAddress += sizeof value;
			}        
            return (TRUE);
        case WM_COMMAND:


            if (LOWORD(wParam) == IDOK ||LOWORD(wParam)== IDCANCEL  ) {
                EndDialog(hDlg, TRUE);
                return (TRUE);
            }
            break;
    }
    return FALSE;
}
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
       HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
       LPSTR lpszArgs,

{
    InitCommonControls();
    DialogBox(hInstance ,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_LISTBOX) , 0, DoListboxProcess);
    return 0;
}

error C2664: 'SetTimer' : cannot convert parameter 4 from 'const int' to 'void (__stdcall *)(struct HWND__ *,unsigned int,unsigned int,unsigned long)'
Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

Hmm...don't really understand the error.

Try

Code:

SetTimer(hDlg 500, 1000, (TIMERPROC)NULL);

Also, when I read from memory into the listbox, I am currently using LBS_SORT style, but I want it to read into the listbox in order as it is reading it, not alphabetically. Any suggestions?

Remove the LBS_SORT style from the LISTBOX. For example:

LISTBOX IDC_PLAYERLIST,8,6,72,157, LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP

Perfect and perfect! O___o Thanks!

Edit:

Okay, well it works perfectly now, but now I've come to a problem. My program will eventually be 'select a player from the list, then it will open up options to edit that player'. Now, since the timer makes the listbox refresh automatically, once I select the player, after my alloted time, it deselects what I have selected. Not sure how all this will go down since I am in the early stages of my project, but I think am better off using a Refresh Button that will refresh, when I need to refresh it.

I've been trying to research this on my own, but with no luck...

I tried MSDN and google, but nothing good about refreshing...

Any ideas?
