I dont know if this question is valid for this forum. is there a way to open a server application by invoking it through a web client? basically i have lots of mp3s on my server that are accessed through the network on client pcs. what i am wondering is there should be a way to click the mp3 link on my client web_page that opens and plays it on media player on the server station. the intent is not to play on client pc but on the server where mp3s reside. anyone has idea or code on how to achieve this?

:( How can one select a line in Richtextbox and then search of string in it? I have rtb that loads a code file having functions and subs.. i am trying to search for keyword 'function' ignoring the comment lines. i am using find method but it returns that keyword in commented lines too. If i can go line by line then i can look whether the current line is comment or not using instr function.. dont know how to navigate line by line... if someone can write a piece of code that does that- it would be great!! thanks in advance

:confused: Is there a way to create outlining in a richtextbox or textbox? i am working on developing code editor and would really wish to have such funtionality incorporated... ;) collapsing a function or expanding is an excellent idea... any idea on how we can do such thing inside richtextbox?:confused:

i use 3D GameStudio... It has C support too. definitely c++ rules but Gamestudio may cater your needs...

Thanks a lot!! works great.

I have a listbox on the side of a richtextbox. Listbox displays the line numbers of the richtextbox content. Is there a way to invoke programmatically scrolling of listbox when i vertically scroll richtextbox and vice versa? basically i want to show scrolling of numbers while i scroll richtextbox and also vice versa...

yes i have seen those standard rtf conventions... how do i use it?

I am planning to incorporate formatting while writing to Richtextbox.
