    Refreshing in C++

    Hey there,

    I am new to C++ and have found a project that I'd like to tackle. I want to make a script that automatically refreshes a page constantly and as fast as possible. I only know how to do console C++ so I'm not sure if this is possible. When I say page, I mean a webpage. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    CougarElite

    I'm not really sure but I think you'd have to obtain a handle to your browser and send it a refresh message. You'll probably have to get an open source browser written in C++ and modify the code. It's not something to do when you're pretty new to C++. But I'm not that experienced, so one of the better coders may have to answer your question.

    Well, you could also obtain the IWebBrowser interface of a running IE instance and ask it to refresh.

    Believe me, you don't want to go there.

    C++ has programs, anyway, not scripts. It's the wrong tool for what you want.

    Why not just send the page a bunch of packets..? If you really want to kill the page.. you could probably come up with a more creative idea...
    Oh my goodness.

    So, what possible legitimate use could this have?

    Sounds more like a stats booster, not a DOS thing.
    Just Google It. √

    You could just stimulate a key press (F5) using keybd_event().
