I would be shocked if there wasn't.

I would not think so.

We are launching a browser through the IwebBrowser2 interface ,from an INTERACTIVE windows service (running under 'localsystem' account),and make it navigate to a url.

Are you sure that is the proper solution for your requirements? I am doubtful.

Yes. AFAIK it will remain that way for future versions as well.
*edit* I thought it changed on XP as well - maybe in SP2.

I can't find the whitepaper that recommends setting up a special account for services so one
can better control priveledges if the built-in ones aren't sufficient. Frown | :(

This one may help a
bit though:

I don't have an answer about the redirect, but FYI this scheme won't work in Vista either because services can't display any windows on the user's desktop.

Adding bullets to a list in a dialog

I have come across a heated debate of preventing interactive services in Vista too.
The problem is that if we configure the service under a domain account ;it ceases to be interactive.
The only way a service can be interactive is with 'localsystem' privileges.Am i wrong on this?

FYI - Also,this setup works fine on Xp(Sp2) and 2000.In 2003,a normal navigatino works - but a redirection doesnt.

I am trying to output some bullet points to my dialog. Anyone know how to code this using CString/strings, etc.?

You mean bullet text or are you talking radio buttons?

you mean like ascii codes? How do I insert them into a CString?

goodoljosh19802-Feb-07 5:11

2-Feb-07 5:11

that is, I can't find bullet points in the ASCII chart, if you have the value let me know and I can insert them using the CString::AddChar() function, I think.

Yeah that won't help because they might be FONT specific. Try the Windows Character Map tool since it allows you to set the font.

Can't you just use an asterisk?

Control for capturing key combinations

asterisks look more like bullet holes to me *

Do any of you guys know of a control which allows you to capture key combinations, and then present them in a human readable format? For instance, if I click the control, and then hit Win+F, it'll present Win+F.

OnKeyDown

I'm already investigating various possibilities... The problem with OnKeyDown (if my memory serves me right), I won't get Alt/Ctrl/Shift-keys. I'm currently playing with a thread local keyboard hook. So far, so good. Now I just have to figure out when a keypress ends. (Which isn't as trivial as it may seem it turned out)

That is what I remember as well. I would think down and up might need to be trapped depending on the requirements. I know you can handle it though. Wink | ;)

The thing with hooks is that you can trap pretty much anything, except Win-key combos. No meddling with PreTranslateMessage() required.

But it'll just have to wait until monday. It's 17:15 here now, and that means that I'm out of here!

Hohoho! I did some searching and found CHotKeyCtrl/msctls_hotkey32! I had no idea that such a thing existed as part of Windows.. Thanks mate! I owe you one! Smile | :)

No problemo Smile | :)

The one negative is that the hotkey control doesn't recognize the Windows key - I just checked on Vista and the shell picks up the Windows key and doesn't let the hotkey control see it. Hmmm | :|
