May be you can try as follows:

void Foo()
{
  {
    CComPtr<IStream> m_pStream;
    ::SHCreateStreamOnFileW(...);
  }

  {
   CComPtr<IStream> m_pStream2;
   ::SHCreateStreamOnFileW(...);
  }
}

My Problem is accessing the file because the Stream Created previously doesn't release the file I can't access the file with another stream (even nullifying that stream doesn't cause it to release the file)

In the code segment in my previour post, m_pStream and m_pStream2 are in different scopes (between {}), so the streams will be closed automatically when the scope ends. So, both calls to SHCreateStreamOnFile(...) will be successfull.

User permission problem with MFC

Dear All,

I have developed an application in MFC and it is working fine and creating directories and file in the program files directory when the program is run as administrator. But when the program is run as limited user account, the program cannot write any files in the program files directory.

The same application developed in JAVA seems to be working fine in both Admin user and limited user. When I googled, all articles recommends to create the files under Application Data for all users. But, for me changing this will be a huge task. Is there any other alternative to grant access to the limitied account user from my application.

Many thanks in advance.

Bhanu

check that the work of the Java-App isnt virtualized.

It isnt the right way to create some directories in the prog dir, if it isnt a installation. Better use the user-dirs

If I use the All Users/Application Data/ directory then the files created by Administrator cannot be overwrite by the Limited account user.

Please help me.

user data belongs in the user directorys.

If it are global settings than the admin can also write them in the registry.

Is is an architectual issue Unsure | :~

A dirty hack could be to create an installer for your application, that grants access to everyone to the application folder.

One have to be an administrator to install the application, but then any user can use it.

Hi,

I recommend that you don't use Excel Interop because it has many known issues, especially when used in web applications.

You could check out GemBox.Spreadsheet .NET Excel component for reading and writing XLS, XLSX, CSV, ODS and HTML files.

It is independent of Excel, light on resources and extremely fast.

It also supports advanced scenarios like Excel export/import to DataTable so you can easily bind your Excel files to UI controls with data binding.

Save Excel to ASP.NET stream web demo demonstrates it's usage in web application.

I think you should search for simple socket based application, or try to create some client-server based application before actually jumping in Internet relay chat arena....

Frankly speaking, it will give great help and knowledge to you, once you able to make urself a small chattign application.

CString class holds just a string (array of characters). It doesn't have any color information associated with it.

How are you displaying the string ? As already mentioned by somebody else, CString is just a class containing data and doesn't have any relation with how it will displayed.

What you want is a different color for a word.
You can only disable/enable windows and not words.
Also as Rejeesh said, you cannot do that with a CString alone.
You could use a control similar to a rich edit control and show one word with a different color.

If you are using the string in pDC->TextOut (...) you can do it as well by changing the font color, but you can't do it only depending on words, you will need different strings, so you print one, change the color and then print the next.

this[^] or this[^]may be useful for you as well.

One way to store colour information in a CString is to use HTML tags and then dump the string into a HTML enabled control.

-or-

Use RTF codes and dump into a Rich Edit Control.

Another way to store color information in a CString:

CString strBackground = "Blue";
