How to get a device's firmware Serial Number?

You know,the API function GetVolumeInformation()would get a serial number of a device.
But the number is variable,and is not be writen by the productor,so it can be writen again and again.
I want to encrypt some files using the devices firmware serial number.
Some one would like to tell me how to get such information?
Thanks.

GOOD LUCK.

look at the documentation of the design specifications,
if there is no api, the firmware development team should encode
a firmware function program to pass the handle higher layer

I'm an ugly guy, have't used CImageList before.
I've viewed some code use CImageList like this.

First declare class members:

CImageList m_imlListCtrl;
CListCtrl  m_list;

then

BOOL CMyDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
  CImageList imlStack;
  imlStack.Create(code);
  imlStack.Add(theApp.LoadIcon(IDI_A));
  imlStack.Add(theApp.LoadIcon(IDI_B));

  m_list.SetImageList(&imlStack);
  m_imlListCtrl.DeleteImageList();
  m_imlListCtrl.Attach(imlStack.Detach());
}

why not

m_imlListCtrl.DeleteImageList();
m_imlListCtrl.Attach(imlStack.Detach());
m_list.SetImageList(&m_imlListCtrl);

DO TELL ME. or give me some article guides.

Why not like this.

m_imlListCtrl.DeleteImageList();  <br />
m_imlListCtrl.Create(code);  <br />
m_imlListCtrl.Add(theApp.LoadIcon(IDI_A));  <br />
m_imlListCtrl.Add(theApp.LoadIcon(IDI_B));<br />
m_list.SetImageList(&m_imlListCtrl);

The second method you proposed is also ok. but why are you creating a local CImageList object CImageList imlStack; ?

Except icon you can add your bitmap.

CBitmap bmp;
bmp.LoadBitmap(IDB_MYBITMAP);
pmyImageList->Add(&bmp, RGB(0, 0, 0));

TO Naveen.R

I'm not familar to CImageList at all.
The code I posted is the source code in EMULE. I'm curious too why use the stack imagelist to set the imagelist of the CListCtrl, while not like your codes.

TO Hamid.

Can load 2 bitmaps like this:

<br />
CBitmap bmp;<br />
bmp.LoadBitmap(IDB_MYBITMAP);<br />
m_iml.Add(&bmp, RGB(0, 0, 0));<br />
<br />
bmp.LoadBitmap(IDB_MYBITMAP2);<br />
m_iml.Add(&bmp, RGB(0, 0, 0));<br />

But why two bitmaps you can use more files anyway I think my answer was incorrect you use of Bold for font.;P

Hi All,
I am using VC++ win32 application in VS 2005.I have created one project as win32 and now I want to add one another project which is omnithread into same solution.I want to make it as static library.

How can I use omnithread.h,nt.h and nt.cpp files in this project.And what my project settings I have to change?Please suggest me.I tried this by reading the Readme.Win32 but I did not get success.

Can anyone test the application making new project with including other project as omnithread and use this project's classes into the ohter project in the same solution. You can download these files from the below link.

http://www.koders.com/cpp/fidB630376C86E504519D0CBF450C0AA4358CFC3915.aspx?s=omnithread.h[^]

If you get any idea or any suggetion then reply me.
Thanks in Advace.

Hmmm, where to start.

Simple answer:
#include "omnithread.h"
And add nt.cpp to your project.

Longer answer:
If you're struggling to include a header, then threads may be overly ambitious.

Bit Longer answer:
Is there a reason you're not asking on www.koders.com where the files are from? I know that *I'm* not going to make a dummy project, download those files, work out what they're about, test it, then tell you. That's the sort of thing you PAY people for.

Iain.

Concatenating CString with hex value

Hi all,

Anybody know, please, how i can concatenate CString with hex values?

<br />
CString message = _T("Hello");<br />
unsigned char HexPrepend[] = { 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x4 };<br />

So in memory result should be:

<br />
0102030448656C6C6F<br />

Regards,
L.

you can use the %x to put it in the CString variable. Ex. message.Format("%x",HexPrepend[0])

thats fine,
but what memory are you referring to here.
if it is the CStrings memory, based on what Llasus has suggested, here is the clearer version.
message.Format("%02x%02x%02x%02x%s",HexPrepend[0],HexPrepend[1],HexPrepend[2],HexPrepend[3],mesage);

is that what you are exactly looking for?

if you change the unsigned char to simply char, the below mehod will be easy.

CString message = _T("Hello");<br />
unsigned char HexPrepend[] = { 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x4 };<br />
CString csNewMsg( HexPrepend, 4 );// You should specify 4 here because, only 4 characters need to be copied from the HexPrepend. other wise it will try to copy the charaters untill it finds a null character.<br />
csNewMsg += message;

CString message = _T("Hello");<br />
unsigned char HexPrepend[] = { 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x4 };<br />
TCHAR tcMsg[100];<br />
memcpy( tcMsg, HexPrepend, 4 );<br />
memcpy( tcMsg + 4, message.operator LPCTSTR(), 5 );

You are joking right! No!

Well if you know the size of the array as shown then:

CString message;
message.Format("%s%x%x%x%x","Hello", HexPrepend[0], HexPrepend[1], HexPrepend[2], HexPrepend[3]);

That’s bad C++ (MS thing), but good C.

I could give u a dozen other examples, but I am not in the mood and a little research (very little) will answer your question.
