so I wrote a program in c# to keep rerolling character stats in a baldurs gate 2 window after finding them in memory and adding them up, and it works fine, except for one part of it..

I have an output box (created using a RichTextBox in a form) that shows how many times it's rerolled, current stats, best roll so far, etc but it doesn't work properly.

the program simulates mouse clicks on the reroll button and for some reason it will work and update and display the form for a short time and then the title bar of the form will turn that sort of faded blue like it lost focus and it won't display anything until the program is finished running.

I've tried using the form methods Show, BringToFront, Activate, SetTopLevel(true) setting TopMost=true and Focus, basically anything likely sounding, even right in the main loop but it still happens regularly some 5-10 seconds into running the program.

tl;dr I need a way of making a form in c# display and update when it's not focused, or to somehow keep focus while still letting me click another application? gah

VHDL is fuckin gay. Seriously, what a bunch of fucking BOLLOCKS. I had to take a course where we used VHDL and all I learned was that VHDL is a piece of shite.

Why didnt those chavs at VHDL implement a DSL in The Algorithmic Language Scheme. It would have been way more extensible, and cause less headaches for REAL scientists, not those fake ass engineers that think they run the world.
