You can start an application using CreateProcess.
If you plan to run the process from a service, you may need to use CreateProcessAsUser or CreateProcessWithLogonW or CreateProcessWithTokenW instead.
To monitor a process there are several functions available like GetProcessMemoryInfo, InitializeProcessForWsWatch, GetProcessIoCounters, QueryProcessCycleTime etc.
To kill a process, you can use the TerminateProcess function, but this is not recommended as this is an unconditional termination. Instead you must have some sort of built in mechanism in the process for it to terminate itself. This could be by sending a message or by setting an event if you want to control it from a service.

INT* pInt = new int ;
LPVOID pVoid = pInt ;
delete pVoid ;
will pVoid(object) be deleted cleanly as "delete pInt" does? I am a little worried since there's no way to indicate the object size.

With "basic" types it might work.
With doing this with a "real" classes it will not call the class destructor and will lead to memory leaks

I'm pretty sure it'll work with standard types, and for classes, it's undefined behavior. So it should be avoided anyway.

delete will try to call the destructor of the object that the pointer is pointing to, and then deallocate the memory associated (by calling operator delete for that object). If you cast the type away to void, then there's no destructor associated, and as a result, all the memory will not be de-allocated properly.
I also do not understand why would you need to do such a thing.

I use lParam of LVITEM to hold some struct address like CREATESTRUCT, PAINTSTRUCT, I new/malloc blocks of memory for them. When the listview control is about to destroy. I want to delete/free the lParam which points to a struct object. Because the object is dynamically allocated, I cannot determine its exact type. so I wish I could do the lazy job, simply delete/free the pVoid expecting that wouldn't cause too much trouble.All of windows structures don't have constructors.

this seems like a good place for an abstract base class with a virtual destructor and a derived class for each of the types you want to pass around.
or, you could do it with a simple struct:
struct cMyStruct
{
typedef enum {eInt=0, eDouble, eCreateStruct, ePaintStruct} eTypeID;
void *pData;
eTypeID typeID;
cleanUp()
{
switch (typeID)
{
case eInt:
{
int *p = (int *)pData;
delete p;
pData = NULL;
}
break;
etc...
}
}
};
just pass that around, initialized properly, of course.

So the items in the listview "point to" different types of data? If that's the case, wrap the data and the type in a struct like:
struct data_and_type
{
int type;
PVOID data;
};
data_and_type *dt = new data_and_type;
dt->type = 0;
dt->data = (CREATESTRUCT *) new CREATESTRUCT;
SetItemData(..., (DWORD) dt);Now when you are ready to delete:
dt = (data_and_type *) GetItemData();
if (dt->type == 0)
{
CREATESTRUCT *cs = (CREATESTRUCT *) dt->data;
delete cs;
}
else if (dt->type == 1)

Yes. I had not typed enough this morning and was simply trying to meet my quota.

Are you sayiny you can't even tell what method you used to allocate memory? In that case you must make sure that you are calling the proper destruction method, i. e. either free() or delete (or, maybe delete [] ?). I fyou don't take care of that and use the wrong method, your program will crash at runtime.
Wherever you get the pointer from, you must add a release() method there that takes care of the proper destruction and deallocation. This most probably will involve virtual destructors in case of classes, or some other method of indirection.

Hi all,
I have one parent dialog where in OnPaint Function i am drawing some rectangles.
On that dialog i am opening one more child dialog,
I am making that child dialog as modeless,so that i can move that dialog
I want to keep the modless dialog active even when i click on the parent dialog,so that i can move rectangles.
OnLButtonDown i need to redraw the rectangles and even keep the dialog visible.
But when i click the Mouse LButtonDown,my child dialog is getting dissappeared
void Test::OnLButtonDown(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
CRect rcClient(170,414,170,415);
LeafDialog::GetClientRect(&rcClient);
if((xp<415 && xp >140) && (yp>100))
{
InvalidateRect(rcClient,false);
LeafB[0]=100;
LaefA[0] = 100;
}
}
On Test View i am creating dialog
void CTestView::OnLoadImage()
{
CBitmapimage* dlgbmp;
dlgbmp = new CBitmapimage;
dlgbmp->Create(IDD_DIALOG1,this);
dlgbmp->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
}
Can anyone tell me what can i do so that even i can move the image and redraw on the parent dialog when clicked on the rectangle
Thanks
Sharan

It sounds like the modless child dialog needs to have the HWND_TOPMOST position in the tab order so it never gets to go behind its parent window.
See the SetWindowPos function for details. You may have to be careful in its use as the modless window should not sit in top most mode when you application does not have focus.
If you vote me down, my score will only get lower

"UnitTest" is on the VC's main menu,I want to use itto test my C++ code, but I am not familiar with its mechanism.
I wrote a little code expecting to learn how it works.But seems not work.
here's my code
class myClass
{
private:
int m_i ;
public:
myClass( int i ):m_i(i){ }
BOOL EQ( int i )
{
if( m_i == i )
return TRUE ;
else
return FALSE ;
}
} ;
int main()
{
myClass mc( 10 ) ;
}
I click "new UnitTest", go through a few steps,when trying click the checkbox besides my project name, there's always a msg reporting unsuccessful "Unknown virtual address 0".
Waiting for help...

I haven't used the tool myself, but isn't there a startup guide to make us understanding the procedure to be followed.
Also, you can refer the articles on MSDN and I sure you will find more than one that will guide you further.

Certainly good advice, but I have to say it may not be easy to find useful material: I've faced almost the same problem, and my searches turned up tons of Tools for Unit-Testing or Tutorials for using such tools, but virtually nothing about how to set up a unit test in the first place! 
Maybe an explicit search at specific sites such as MSDN or various technical forums might help - I haven't tried that yet.

Yeah, I searched lot, still haven't found too much helpful materials.I think I should give up using it since it related tightly with netFramework.Someone says C++ test is one of the best UnitTest tool, I'll have a try.

|

Indeed. I've been spending the last hour to find something more useful, and have all but given up. At the moment I'm digesting the entries on Unit testing that I've found on Wikipedia, just to be make sure I fully understand the concepts. Maybe that's a good place for you to look too?

Thanks, Stefan. I'll take a look.I love Wiki too. It was the place that taught me how to do the matrix multiplication.Hoho

This might help: Unit-Testing Native C++ with Visual Studio[^]
By using the Unit Testing framework in Visual Studio, then you should automatically get the ability to see code coverage (Though it requires one of the expensive Visual Studio Editions)
