Function to send message
Does anyone know which WinAPI function StarCraft uses to send messages to the chat channel listbox? I'm interested in figuring out how to enable unicode chat.

listbox? If you mean the chatbox you could try SetWindowTextW(hWnd, str), WM_SETTEXT, WM_UNICHAR, or WM_KEYDOWN

I know how to send messages myself, I just want to know which function StarCraft uses to send it. The chat channel uses what's called a List Box.
None.

Ah to the message history listbox; that's a much more involved task...
I'd pull up a windowed StarCraft then hook it with Visual Studio's Spy++, find the listbox in the window tree and check its styles...
If it has LBS_HASSTRINGS... then it's a simple matter of LB_ADDSTRING or LB_INSERTSTRING with LPARAM as a pointer to the string (noteworthy that the strings passed could be inside a managed array inside of StarCraft rather than just something done in WinAPI).
If it doesn't have the LBS_HASSTRINGS style then the listbox contains pointers to something for which StarCraft's structs/code might have to be decompiled.

It does have LBS_HASSTRINGS, I'm just trying to figure out how SC passes strings to the listbox so that I could hook the function.
None.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.[2026-7-16. : 6:26 am]
NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.[2026-7-16. : 6:25 am]

not the map, the editor[2026-7-16. : 2:28 am]
Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology[2026-7-15. : 8:51 pm]
NudeRaider -- SymmetrySymmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.[2026-7-15. : 4:10 am]
Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
