One more thing, Visual C++ 2008 has some built in wizard stuff to assist with the security section so this is getting easier as they move forward.

Thanks,
I am using VS 2005 which has the following format:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>
<assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' manifestVersion='1.0'>
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*' />
    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
      <assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.VC80.CRT' version='8.0.50608.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b' />

    </dependentAssembly>
  </dependency>
</assembly>

should my Manifest look like this to take care of my problem?

I'm thinking something like this (with "requireAdministrator" if desired)

<ms_asmv2:trustInfo xmlns:ms_asmv2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
<ms_asmv2:security>
<ms_asmv2:requestedPrivileges>
<ms_asmv2:requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker">
</ms_asmv2:requestedExecutionLevel>
</ms_asmv2:requestedPrivileges>
</ms_asmv2:security>
</ms_asmv2:trustInfo>

I just meant that for some security manifests, you'll want
<ms_asmv2:requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker">

and other apps you'll want "requireAdministrator" instead "asInvoker".

problem creating a colored icon

I'm creating some colored icons for a list view control, but the colors displayed on vista differ from the colors displayed on XP , or Vista 64 . Do you have any ideas? The colors are the same , but they repeat faster in the list
although the formula is the same: RGB( (p*12 + 128) % 256, (p*12+ 64) % 256 , (p*12) % 256 );

m_cImageList.Create(16, 16, ILC_COLOR32|ILC_MASK, 1, 1);
COLORREF cl = RGB( (p*12 + 128) % 256, (p*12+ 64) % 256 , (p*12) % 256 );
colors[p] = cl;

// AND mask - monochrome - determines which pixels get drawn

for( int j=0; j<32; j++ )
{
AND[j] =0;
}
// XOR mask - 32bpp ARGB - determines the pixel values

for( int k=0; k<256; k++ )
{

XOR[k] = cl;
}

icon = ::CreateIcon(NULL,16,16,1,32,AND,(BYTE*)XOR);
pDlg->m_cImageList.Add( icon );
DestroyIcon( icon );

pDlg->m_listFolders.SetImageList(&pDlg->m_cImageList, LVSIL_SMALL);

You say the colours differ, then you say they are the same. How are you determining that the colours differ?

Windows Api / Control Visible

Is it possible to know if a control (label) is visible or not using WinApi?

We have to plug into our app with a custom application and need to know if a certain label is visible or not. I know you can show/not show it, but how to know what the state is?

thanks !

There is the obscurely named IsWindowVisible...

It only tells you the visible flag state though - if a parent is hidden, this is too, etc.

So you did not find the WS_VISIBLE style?

No, you took the path of least resistance. An act that becomes addictive for most people and surely results in calamity for a software developer. Something we witness here in these forums, e v e r y s i n g l e d a y.

Good luck, you're going to need it.

In addition to what the other members said, IsWindowVisible[^] will return TRUE if your dialog has the WS_VISIBLE style. If your window is behind another window and not actually visible you will still recieve TRUE.

You can get around this by calling GetClipBox[^] which will return NULLREGION if your window is being completely clipped by another window. In Windows Vista GetClipBox will not return NULLREGION if DWM[^] is enabled because Aero performs blending/transparency effects.

Unless you have not written a serializable class, then you should not bother about where to serialize your serializable-class subclasses instances unless serialization is meant to depend on some stuffs.A test rule is to wonder if it's OK to call serialization code from within the serializable-class subclass destructor.

Urgent help for creating outlook pst programatically

ranu79198519-Nov-08 0:39

ranu791985

19-Nov-08 0:39

Hi all,

I need to create a pst file programatically using MAPI.
I tried it using oom but that pst is not crateing correctly.

Also tried following mapi code :-

CComPtr pMsgSvcAdmin;
ULONG ulFlags;
HRESULT hr;
hr = MAPIInitialize(NULL);
if (S_OK == hr)
{
hr = MAPIAdminProfiles(0, &m_pProfAdmin);

}
if( IsBadWritePtr(lRet, sizeof(LONG)) )
{
hr = E_INVALIDARG;
}
else
{
ulFlags = 0;
ulFlags |= fMapiUnicode;
hr = m_pProfAdmin->AdminServices(_T("exch_Destination"), NULL, NULL, ulFlags,&pMsgSvcAdmin);
if(S_OK == hr)
{
hr = pMsgSvcAdmin->CreateMsgService(_T("MSUPST MS"), _T("My PST File"), NULL, ulFlags);
}
}

but no luck, CreateMsgService is giving MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND

any pointer would be helpful
thanks
