I'm not 100% sure, but I think that IShellView will be needed.

Hello does anybody have the Wbemuuid.lib library? I do not have it in my SDK.
If you know a link to the source of this library, please hook it up. or if you have it please email it to me.

Microsoft SDK from Feb 2003 has this, or you can download the XP SP2 one.

Incidentally, did everyone see the note that future SDKs will not work with VC++6 ?
They really are serious about getting people to upgrade, aren't they ? Smile | :)

Menu ID

I'm using the "Microsoft Development Environment 2003" in order to develop an MFC dialog-based application. I have created a new menu and it was given the ID IDR_MENU1, by default.
Is it possible to change the name of this ID by the use of some environment interface feature? I would rather avoid to touch the resource files directly...

of course it is possible, and thanksfully, the resource editor exist for that purpose !!!

just go to the menu properties, check the ID property, and rename it to something more descriptive, like IDR_FILE_MENU for example.

and don't forget to select the menu before you go across its properties...

Restarting the Application

Hi All!
How can I restart my application by API functions?

I Think There is no Direct Way.
One Way Is To Execte Program in A Batch File (.bat or .cmd) And Check The Exit Value of App.
if You want To Restart App from Other App.(i.e. A Service)
You can use TerminateProcess() API And spawn() or Other
Execution Function(Execute(), ....)

if your app is in console mode, main function returns an
integer value, that is placed in errorlevel variable,
that can be check in a bath file

Do you want to restart the application from this application itself?

Yeah I have done that in VB.net many times.

And in VC++ it must be easy too.

Close all open streams, handles, and whatever resources that you are using. Equivalent to shutting down of the application but not really shutting down.

Now start up your application with ShellExecute...

And immediately after that quit your application. It will work.

this is the code for reading the text file which will help you

char temp1[80];
FILE *f;
if ( ( f = fopen("c:\\Log.txt","r") )==NULL)
{
printf("Unable to open file");
return;
}
while(fgets(f,"%s",temp1)!=EOF)
{
printf("%s",temp1);

2 possibilities:

1. You need the complete code, you do not want to give it a try, feel free to send me the description of what you need, and i'll send you an estimation of what it will cost you.

2. You experience problems as every programmer now and then, post what you have already done, explain what the problem is, and we'll help on this forum.

first of all, no way i do that, an i hope nobody will !! we are on this forum to share knowledges, so there is no reason that you get the answer secretly...

well, now, as your question is not very clear, i don't really understand what you're looking for. tell me if this is wrong :

- you code in C (not C++).
- you want to read/write from/into files, but don't know how ?

well, i may be wrong, but did you have a look at the fopen()[^], fclose()[^], fread()[^], fwrite()[^], fscanf()[^], fprintf()[^], fseek()[^] functions ?
there are plenty of them, just have a look on the MSDN...

Our problem is that you have not provided nearly enough details about the file in question. You're going to have to put forth some effort if you expect any reasonable level of help.
