[i]...and Also im wondering why..... i get the text from AIM AOL Messenger and my program takes out the HTML Tags of the text and when i t sees <BR> it puts a CHR$(13).. isn't that enter..... cause in my text box it shows a box instead

can someone help!@?> [/B]
My best guess is that AIM strips the html from the response of the WM_GETTEXT message (which is probably what you're doing)

If you use winsock to get the text (don't try this at home...) you'll get the full html.

I haven't written any apps to interact with AIM so I'm not completely sure that's what the problem is.

If I ever write an AIM program, it'll be a client as well.
