after finding Iczelion's tutorials and playing around i have found 50 cool was to crash my computer.
I have also spent some time taking a tutorial and tinkering it a bit.
I have writen this little program which shows the number of running task on a system.
it works but is there a better way to get the refresh working?
at the moment i am doing this in the message loop and it works.
.ELSEIF uMsg==WM_TIMER
invoke InvalidateRect,hWnd,NULL,TRUE
.ELSEIF uMsg==WM_CREATE
invoke SetTimer,hWnd,1,5,NULL
i would like comment and sugestions from anyone.
full code attached in the zip.
Remember even a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.......

robsonde,
if you need a fast refresh you can try with a GAME LOOP:
MessageLoop pseudo:
call PeekMessage (instade of GetMessage)
call TranslateMessage
call DispatchMessageA
call GameLoop1 (so it run always !)
jmp MessageLoop
hope it help
bye A

Well that could be good but I dont need fast as such.
I want it to not flicker.
I will also take any comments about the rest of the code.
I am sure I have found the worst way to to most things :-)

Afternoon, robsonde.
If you don't want it to flicker so much, then don't update it every 5 milli-seconds:grin:
Try
and see how it goes.
Cheers,

Try
invoke SetTimer,hWnd,1,1000,NULL ; update once every secondand see how it goes.

thanks Scronty.
it works better now...
RTFM :-)
I thought I had it at half a second.
