Take a look at the Process32First()/Process32Next() pair.

Terminating process, especially processes you didn't even write, is asking for trouble. Here's a quote from MSDN:
"The TerminateProcess function is used to unconditionally cause a process to exit. The state of global data maintained by dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) may be compromised if TerminateProcess is used"

The fact that terminating a process is not safe is obvious if you think about it: The process may be in the middle of doing something like updating a file and suddenly it's killed without getting a chance to do any cleanup. This could quite obviously lead to data corruption for example. TerminateProcess is meant as a last resort like when like you have to kill a misbehaving and non-responsive process with task manager.

I want to run the application when no other applications in the computer are using the Internet.So I want to know when the "Internet is available" AND "other applications are not using the bandwidth".

Windows has some background transfer services. They made the stuff used to download windows updates in the background available to developers.

If your local network supports quality of service packets set your application to use a low QOS value and then just flood the network.

What do you want to know exactly ? If the program can auto-translate these words for you ? Then no, this is of course not feasible (it is a compiler, not a translator). If you want to add multilanguage support to your app, you need to manage that yourself (load the strings from a specific resource depending of the language for example).

This is not done automatically.
You have several options to do that: design a dialog for each language you need, xml with the messages/labels, external software that manage the strings, table strings, ...

You can do it with the MC(Message Compiler) where u should have the other lang strings with you. Otherwise this is not possible

If you are looking to roll your own solution, use the FindFirstFile()/FindNextFile() pair. The size of each file is contained in the WIN32_FIND_DATA structure.

Getting a user's full name in a domain

Hi all,

I try to get the full name of a user in my Windows 2003 Active Directory.
I tried to use NetGetUserInfo(), but receive the error-code 1113. MSDN states, that I may have not sufficient rights to query a user's full name, but I cannot find, where to set the rights in my active directory.
Since my application should also work with Windows 2000 domains and even NT-domains, I don't want to use the functions for ADS-containers (I also have never programmed them before and I don't know enough about them Frown | :(

)

So is there any possibility to get a user's full name when I know his login-name and the name of the domain?

greets

You could also use GetUserNameEx function, with the NameDisplay flag. It should work just fine.

I tried GetUserNameEx(), but I can only get information about the currently logged in user. I need information about all the other domain users. I have a table with login-names and I want to display the realnames of these people because it is much more readable.

Any help here?
