30-Aug-07 0:31

Does anybody know how to obtain a unique ID number for:
1) Windows version running
2) HDD
3) Motherboard
4) Processor

I am coding in c++. Please do not include anwers referring to other languages.

Take a screwdriver, take away the side of your PC's case and look inside ( may need a torch for the last step ).

Mmmm...what a comedian! I wish I could follow your advice but unfortunately I have a laptop and no torch is necessary.
Therefore we all hand it back to you, so you can make better use of it.

Harry Potter, could you please not waste our bytes, bandwidth and time?

Create Registry Key using C++

I couldn't find any class on how to create my own registry key and set its value using C++.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm - "registry C++" returns any amount of codeproject articles.

...none of which gives an explanantion on how to create a key and assign it a value if you are coding in Visual C++ (win32 console application), I am afraid! Confused | :confused:

Are you asking for C-Sharp? (written as C#) Or for C? Confused | :confused:

This one[^] and the one KarstenK provided are C++.

Have you entertained the notion that it might be the user rather than the tool (that is not working)?

Why have you overlooked the registry API?

Re: Problem while switching from debugging mode to release mode

30-Aug-07 0:18

Hi,

My project is working correctly in debug mode. My project is to draw a diagram after importing the corresponding files. And while i select some colors and select an item in the footprintlist in the dialog bar, the corresponding will be reflected in the drawing. this is going on fine in debug mode. But in release mode the drawing is as such. But after selecting the colors, and giving redraw, the primitives are getting drawn in some other location. How to solve this?

With Regards,
Sangeetha.

May be you have left some variables uninitialized. why dont you try debugging...

Hi Naveen,

I learnt one article to debug even in release mode. i tried it. While am debugging and then seeing the output it is correct in release mode also. But without debugging in release mode, the output is not as expected. But its different.
And i tried your suggestion also. The same problem still exists.

With Regards,
Sangeetha.

Re: Problem while switching from debugging mode to release mode

30-Aug-07 0:41

I hardly doubt this is because of some uninitialized varaiables. Are you using CRect or some thing like that? Paste the code. I will try to find.
