If you lose an IM window's focus, and move another window over it, the window doesn't repaint and no longer scrolls.

This problem probably lies in the GetText API call...

    I don't think this is a problem with AIMLog. I believe that I have experienced this since downloading AIM 4.2.1107. You might try using AIMLog with earlier versions of AIM which may be found at ftp://ftp.aol.com/aimgen/73010 and see if it still happens.

    You're right, with AIM 4.2.2144 (Oct. 2), this bug occurs in IM Images connections WITHOUT AIMLog running. However, in normal conversations, it only occurs while AIMLog is running and it is reverted once you close AIMLog.

    The newest beta of AIM (4.2.2179) fixed this problem. I recommend downloading it.

    I am running AIM version 4.3.2188 and AIMLog version 0.5 (recompiled to fix the runtime 380 bug), and this problem is still happening here. It has happened on every computer I've tested it on, and no new version of AIM has fixed it. It can't just be me, because I have tested it on 3 different computers (two running win2k and one running windows 98).

    I tried to write an AIM logger program a few months ago myself and ran into the same problem... anyone figure anything out??? I'm getting ready to do some debugging/subclassing on the aim.exe process to do the logging, but I really didn't want to resort to that. ;-) Oh yeah, I also emailed AIM tech support with a feature request to ask if they were ever going to put in plugin support. Someone actually responded and he said they were working on it right now. So, sometime this next year we may be able to write a plugin and access AIM's memory space without "hacking" it. :-)

    I don't think the problem occurs anymore with aim 5+ . but if
    for any reason it does... *cough* SendMessage
    (AIMConvoBoxWnd,WM_VSCROLL,wparam,lparam) *cough*

    If you feel so obligated to use WM_GETTEXT to pull out
    crucial log information, Who says you can't use
    WM_VSCROLL to make sure the vertical scroll bar
    behaves :P
