hi folks,
Does someone know how to read/write files summary properties in C||C++?
I mean the info we get by right clicking and selecting properties then summary...
I tried getting that from the net and msdn without luck.
Any info greatly appreciated,
Remy

These should get you started:
SHGetFileInfo()
CFile::GetStatus()
GetFileAttributes()
GetFileTime()

Thanks David for your fast reply.
But i still didnt find how to do the trick.
Id like to store and retrieve information in the file and i thought i could do that directly.
if i go to the file properties, i see filds like description, origin, title subject content etc. Im trying to find a way to write on these fields.
Any idea?

One solution is SetFileAttributes().

Is there a default color list for Windows application ?
For example, on the "Display Properties" under the Appearance, there's a small popup with 20 default colors; the same thing in Wordpad font dialog , but with a different UI.
Also in Word, there are 40 default colors in the nice popup window.
So, is there a default color list somewhere? not the UI, but the RGB values and names.
What can I search for in MSDN to find that out ?
Thanks.

There are enough similar controls here on cp.com

I'm not looking for a UI, just the color list (RGB value and color names).

That's over 16.7 million colors. I don't think such a list exists! The one's that you do see have just chosen the more common colors to display.

I know that, I just wondering if there's a default SUBSET of 8, 16, or 32 basic colors (name vs. RGB) defined somewhere in the windows API ?

Well, you could search all of the .H files for occurrences of RGB. That'll tell you for sure. Otherwise:
#define RED RGB(255,0,0)
#define WHITE RGB(0,0,0)
#define BLACK RGB(255,255,255)
#define GREEN RGB(0,255,0)
#define BLUE RGB(0,0,255)
#define PURPLE RGB(255,0,255)
#define LTBLUE RGB(0,255,255)
#define YELLOW RGB(255,255,0)
etc...

since there seems to be no default values, I will define them myself!
maybe not using #defines, but something similar
anyway!

This article colour picker cb[^] has a code listing of the common IE colours (about 128) with names and RGB values. You should be able to extract them and use those.

Does anyone know how to get the Display Name (e.g. "Microsoft Word Document") from a given extension (e.g. "doc").
I can't use ShGetFileInfo, because that requires a file you want information for. I won't have a file, just an extention.
Thanks!

Sure you can - just use the SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES flag & the filename can be bogus.

Did you not read all of the documentation? It states:
If the uFlags parameter includes the SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES flag, this parameter does not have to be a valid file name. The function proceeds as if the file exists with the specified name and with the file attributes passed in the dwFileAttributes parameter. This enables you to obtain information about a file type by passing just the extension for pszPath and passing FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL in dwFileAttributes.
That implies that this will work:
SHFILEINFO fi;
CString strExtension;
m_ebExtension.GetWindowText(strExtension);
if (SHGetFileInfo(strExtension, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, &fi, sizeof(fi), SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES | SHGFI_TYPENAME) != 0)
{
m_staticAssocApp.SetWindowText(fi.szTypeName);
}
If you still do not want to use SHGetFileInfo(), try this. It's from the top of my head so you may have to tweak it:
HKEY hKey;
CString strExtension;
TCHAR szValue[128];
LONG lSize;
m_ebExtension.GetWindowText(strExtension);
if (RegOpenKey(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, strExtension, &hKey) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
lSize = sizeof(szValue);
RegQueryValue(hKey, _T(""), szValue, &lSize);
RegCloseKey(hKey);
if (RegOpenKey(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, szValue, &hKey) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
lSize = sizeof(szValue);
RegQueryValue(hKey, _T(""), szValue, &lSize);
RegCloseKey(hKey);
m_staticAssocApp.SetWindowText(szValue);
}
}

Friends,
We use ADO with VC++ in order to deal with database servers. My question is related to recordset object. When we execute certain query of select statement, the recoredset object contains the resultant records. Now please tell me where these records are actually present by default whether client side or server side ?? What happens when we fetch next record from recordset object? I want all records to be present on my client machine so that when i fetch records, there'll be no need to consult back server...how can i do so ???

It depends.
In ADO, you can set the cursor location to be server side or client side cursors. To force a recordset to be client side, do the following before you open the table/select statement etc. Note, this is VB code for swiftness.
rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient
For server side - adUseServer

By default, the recordset objects are present on the server side. When you fetch a record from the recordset object, the data are got from the server via the network. You can let them be present on the client compute by changing the CursorLocation property of the recordset object.
In VC++:
_RecordsetPtr pRs;
pRs.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Recordset));
pRs->CursorLocation = ADOCG::adUseClient; //set the cursor to be client side
pRs->CursorLocation = ADOCG::adUseServer; //server side, the default

Could somebody give me a quick (and hopefully fairly jargon free) summary on how to attach a Microsoft .HLP file to a visual C++ program.
I have created the file using microsoft help workshop but i'm not sure how to attatch it.
How do i add it to the project so that F1 can be pressed and it can be accessed for the help menu??
Thanks

If its an MFC project that was created without help then you should be able to add:
// Global help commands
ON_COMMAND(ID_HELP_FINDER, CMDIFrameWnd::OnHelpFinder)
ON_COMMAND(ID_HELP, CMDIFrameWnd::OnHelp)
ON_COMMAND(ID_CONTEXT_HELP, CMDIFrameWnd::OnContextHelp)
ON_COMMAND(ID_DEFAULT_HELP, CMDIFrameWnd::OnHelpFinder)
to the mainframes message map.
Also check that you have an accelerator key mapped for F1 to ID_HELP

Or you can just use:
BOOL WinHelp(
HWND hWndMain, // handle of window requesting Help
LPCTSTR lpszHelp, // address of directory-path string
UINT uCommand, // type of Help
DWORD dwData // additional data
);
This function did the trick for me a few months ago. Oh by the way, this is just the API function, but I think MFC has this function somewhere. Just search for it.
// Afterall I realized that even my comment lines have bugs

My Windows service app is monitoring process activity on Windows 2000 system. PSAPI is giving me a list of running processes, but I can't obtain full module path for processes running under user account different than System or service's account - process HANDLEs are treated as invalid when they come from another account. I suppose that some security setting is preventing me from doing this, but how can I override it? I've also tried using kernel mode driver for this, but with the same results...
