Doing math in a VB dll by gone on 08-28-2004 at 11:19 PM

I just started tinkering with Plus! plugins today and I'm writing a ping function,  my side pings the other, the other responds then I want to report the MS it took to respond, but when I try to do math that part just doesn't respond then but if I take the math out it works. Here is what the section looks like.

If sContactName <> MyUserName Then
     PingDelayEnd = GetTickCount
     CurrentPing = False
     PingTime = (PingDelayEnd - PingDelayStart)
     sTextToSend = "Ping Time: 9[" & PingTime & "ms]"
     sText = ""
     ReceiveNotify = True
     Exit Function
Else
     Exit Function
End If

could you explaint that a bit more? and if you post the whole code (both ReceiveNotify and ParseCommand functions) it'd be great. We'd be able to help better.

don't use the  in the string. Instead use the Chr function with the needed code you'll find in the documentation (something like CCColor or similar, i don't remember)
