RE: Basic Questions - LaTeX
Hmm, here is an idea:
  • Generate a random number for each created PNG file, e.g. "845217623.png". This will prevent any writing access trouble.
  • When the PNG is created, create the window and load the image. Store the loaded image's file name in a global object, indexed by the window's handle.
  • When the window is destroyed, the file name is looked up from the global object and the image is deleted.
I think that'll work. I know it's not the most elegant solution, but I'll leave the challenge for you to play around with this idea. :)

As for finding out the position of the chat window, have a look at GetWindowRect (user32). Create a RECT memory structure using Interop.Allocate(), make the function fill it and use the data in the RECT structure to figure out where to place your window.

@matty: Okay, it'll work just fine with the time too. I don't know whether you want to delete those created images after closing the window, so I'll leave my comment untouched just in case. :P
