auto refresh & pickup listchecker

01-24-2009, 07:35 AM

I use pickup listchecker to host in wine. The fixed 25s auto refresh got a little frustrating. Here's code to tell plc to refresh.

Code:

#include <windows.h>

#include <stdio.h>

static const char PLC_WINDOW_TITLE[] = "pickup.listchecker v1.0.592 (01/07/2008) Winpcap disabled";
static const unsigned PLC_REFRESH_MESSAGE = 0x40F;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	BOOL ret;
	HWND win;

	win = FindWindow(NULL,PLC_WINDOW_TITLE);

	printf("plc wnd: %x\n",win);

	ret = PostMessage(win,PLC_REFRESH_MESSAGE,0,0);

	CloseHandle(win);

	return 0;
}

Binary attached. It's cross compiled with mingw, YMMV.

I embed it in a shell script for autorefreshing:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

while [ 1 ]
do
	./plcref.exe
	sleep 5
done

Joker	Doesn't the /refreshbnet command allow you to refresh manually?

PipeDream	Yes. I'm lazy.
