But this still does not fix your problem as far as I can see. It is still not possible to get the information out of the .lnk file. Or have I missed some extra information?

That is completely incomprehensible, so I'll have to go for a very wild guess.

If you make a shortcut file containing a URL (e.g. by dragging the content of the address bar from a browser to the desktop), then you get what is basically a text file; the second line contains

URL=the URL your browser was showing at the time

so some simple read-string-from-file operations can give you the URL string.

Exactly right Luc. However, OP had a .lnk file which contained a URL as the link rather than a file path, but was still not in URL shortcut format, and could not be read via the IShellLink interface. The issue is in the Delphi forum, and I'm not sure why he posted the above message as it still does not contain a resolution as far as I can tell.

OK, I now have read some of that Delphi thread, seems like a bit of a scatterbrain.
BTW, it seems an LNK file isn't text, are you aware of this?

Yes, and that is the problem. A URL link (correctly constructed) is a text file and can be read easily. A .lnk file uses some internal Microsoft (not published) structure, and you can only access its content through the IShellLink interface. The file that the OP has is a 'normal' .lnk file but its path contains a URL, which is illegal. So, you cannot read it as a text file and the IShellLink functions will not give you access to its contents either. Catch 22.

Delete the illegal file and move on, I'd say.

Sorry for the mess but i felt
That the matter is important so i open one more
message to explain to all discussion.

To clarify

or
http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3905048/Re-html-string-in-lnk-file.aspx[^]

1. the link file having http://.. CANNOT be read and get the string http://
2. Reading the .lnk with hex editor shows it is legal link file
3. The link file was made by an installer but the problem is general to ALL links with html://....

So the problem give me a big professional curiosity
Microsoft dose it why cannot we?

How to quit an application immediately without executing the next line of code

The PostQuitMessage function posts a WM_QUIT message to the threads message queue and returns immediately; the function simply indicates to the system that the thread is requesting to quit at some time in the future.

I want to quit my application so that the application ends immediately and does not go beyond that point. When using the PostQuitMessage(0) the application continues after that line and stops after executing a few functions.

Kindly provide suggestions.

I agree with anshuman, however terminateprocess api is not recommended, as it compromise with application data.. read more here :-http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686714%28v=vs.85%29.aspx[^]

why not just wait for the thread to quit ?

if (needToQuit)
{
  PostQuitMessage
  WaitForSingleObject(threadHandle)
  quit the main app
}

If you need to quit the application, use Richard's advice, if you need to quit a thread, use TerminateThread (a couple of people suggested) but be aware that doing that creates memory leaks as the threads working memory is not properly deallocated... so you shouldn't do the operation very often and only when its absolutely necessary, in most cases, you can creatively code a solution that allows a thread to properly shutdown... for example if the thread is processing some data, then you can have a control variable that'll stop the processing (within the thread) until WM_QUIT message is processed.

The program running in xp is no problem ,bu in Win7 ,it doesn't use the CreateRemoteThread to inject a dll to other process.

if I use the administrator to run,is also failed !

It's there any where to do this in Win7/Vista ? Poke tongue | ;-P

I found this note: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3625827/It-dont-work-on-64bit-win7-system.aspx[^]

[win32]Draw on a background bitmap

Hi, this is the code:

case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
pt.x = LOWORD(lParam);
pt.y = HIWORD(lParam);
InvalidateRect(hWnd,NULL,TRUE);
break;

case WM_PAINT:
hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);

memDC = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);

SelectObject(memDC,hbmp);

GetObject(bmp, sizeof(bm), &bm);

GetClientRect(hWnd,&rcc);
			
StretchBlt(hdc, 
0,0, rcc.right,rcc.bottom,
memDC, 
0,0,bm.bmWidth, bm.bmHeight, 
SRCCOPY);

//onMouseMove
MoveToEx(hdc, pt.x , 0 , NULL); 
LineTo(hdc, pt.x, rcc.bottom); 
MoveToEx(hdc, 0, pt.y, NULL); 
LineTo(hdc, rcc.right, pt.y);

how can i draw lines on mouse move without repainting the background bitmap? There's a way to "fix" the bitmap on background and repaint only lines?

InvalidateRect(hWnd,NULL,TRUE);

The third parameter tells the system whether to erase the background on the next call to BeginPaint(); change it to FALSE to prevent the erase. You can also trap the WM_ERASEBKGND message and provide your own code to redraw the background however you like.
