hi guys, i wrote a simple chat program based on something a dude wrote on MSDN, after some time learning about everything lol cf and evb, im well on my way, its working, and im probibly going to change everything over to messageing queue and i get the picture that thats where messageing stuff is heading, great, my only problem is i want something that will display an icon for users like msn, ok my thoughts, i found like an advance imagebox control in vb, but pocketpc is missing alot of the draw stuff it needs so thats no good.

second, maybe write a html document and load it up, im problem with this is maybe speed issues and refreshes n stuff.

Third, never done anything like this befor, but possibly draw the text and image directly onto the form gdi style? and redraw it when needed?

there are just my first thoughts, like i said this is my first attemt at pocketpc dev, its 2003 se btw guys, im writeing in whitbey, any ideas, pointers, help would be really appreciated, thanks guys
