Hello,
If an ostream is open and a write operation completed, then a flush called, is the data 100% committed to disk or is there a delay?
Cheers,

The data is 100% commited to disk.

While stream flushes *its own* buffer, the OS can cache the data. Is there any requirement on standard file streams which makes them call API like ::FlushFileBuffers on close? I did quick grep and was unable to find fflush/_commit/FlushFileBuffer calls in C runtime sources for fstream.

flushing an iostream causes a call to sync for the managed streambuf object. Dinkumware's doc for basic_filebuf (here[^]) state that basic_filebuf::sync calls in turn to fflush. Of course, the ultimate test is to check it directly on the source code, but alas I don't have my Visual Studio handy right now.

can anybody plz help me with locking the PC ...thru Bios or any other way so that nobody can access it...It should not detect any Hard Disk. (dont tell me bios password since it can be cracked with jumper settings). I need to lock a PC anyhow bcoz when i go away to home from my PC somebody else come and start working on that.
If I change Windows 2000 password then they will format the Hard Disk and start working again.
IF I keep a BIOS password then they can crack it by changing jumper settings.
what i need that computer should be hanged and nobody can easily guess that what might have happened to the computer...why it was not working?

Sounds fishy....
How exactly would you restore the computer so that 'you could start working again'?

If he puts a password they format??? what use then?? Dont they have other machines??
Fishy to me too!

there is NO solution if someone can open your PC case.
The best solution is bios password and padlock on the case.
|
|
|
|
|
Our Dell laptops (I have an Inspiron 8100) have hard-disk-based passwords.
If you don't know the password, the harddisk won't start to spin. This is not resettable by jumpers.
Of course they can always replace the hard disk.
Enjoy life, this is not a rehearsal !!!

Hi
I have to add some extra information to this files (it's going to be digital signature of the document), but I don't know how to start (I heard that this files are connected with OLE but I don't know anything about OLE). After adding the signature to the file of course I must be able to read only the document part of the file. I have also encountered another problem, Excel files is changing in one place after being opened (at the end of the file, in the record beginning with "Root Entry"). Is this will be ok to omit this few changing bytes in order to signature doc and verify the signature (I don't know what this few bytes stands for)? I don't expect to have one solution for Excel and Word (but it would be nice of course), but is there a chance that one solution(one code) will work in Office 97 and 2000 (it would be great)? Thanks in advance for any help.
greetings

You're dreaming of an imaginary world where you can take whatever file format you want, and modify it on will. Let's get back to earth mate!

You exxagerate a bit. This is possible (I have seen application which is doing exactly what I want to do in MsOffice). Office docs are stored in a kind of a filesystem (this is connected somehow with OLE) and all I have to do is to read and write properly in this filesystem (probably using OLE in some way).

Again, if you add anything to the core file format, then it must mean something to the associated application : what do you think Excel will say if you add your binary stuff in it ? GPF!
Ok, just to give a hint : Office documents are compound documents (ole storage). They use IStorage/IStream. Because IStorage acts like a folder, and IStream like a file, you could add internal folders inside a given compound document (then use DocFile viewer, one of the tools of VisualC++6.0 to see them). That's the only common thing between all office file formats. And of course, don't even dare to open such a modified document in Office.

That's what is on my mind! I just didn't know how to make it(I will try using IStorage/IStream). I don't think that any Office application will be confused when I add another folder to the file (for example Word should read it's own folder without looking for nothing else!), but this is only my presumption  . DocFile viewer seems to be very useful at the moment, if you have any other hints (especially about using IStorage/IStream, but of course I should dig in MSDN for myself and I will do it surely)I would be very grateful. Thanks for help

Internals are documented in MSDN release 98 (yes, everything has been removed since then).

>I wouldn't bet socks on that.
But you should, try this site:
http://www.softpile.com/Utilities/Encryption/Review_05296_index.html
I mentioned about this software before and I found out that this program works just like I expected (it adds file with digital signature into document and Office has nothing to do with this because it just omit it).

I heard about it before but I haven't checked it yet, so far I found some info on the web (I hope that MSDN is more comprehensible).

Ok, I've tested this shareware and indeed it creates a separate IStorage in the Excel files I have tested.
But this program is useless :
- when it comes to signing a document, this separate storage makes it prone to erasure, or intentional cloneage. In other words, if someone wants to bypass or spoof the signatures, he just needs a 10-line tool that either destroys or clones this IStorage.
- when it comes to encrypting a document, it creates a totally separate document, which does not load anymore in Excel. This feature is thus nothing more relevant than a password-protected zip file.

Hi
I gave you this link just to give an example that putting something inside Office files is reasonable, I don't mean that this program is good (actually it sucks, not only because of silly encrypting, I can give you more reasons why ), but I don't agree with you in one issue (about signing the doc in such way). Firstly show me the way of signing the doc that will be resistant to destroying the signature (teoretically it is possible but in this case it's not, if you don't agree I can elaborate my opinion). Secondly I don't see any sense in cloning the signatures. What would you do with such signature? Put in another document? I don't see your point (can you give some details?).

Watermarking. (for instance in pictures).

That's aimed at spoofing documents, just like if you would mimic the signature of your mum for any signed paper you had to return to people at school. Seriously, spoofing is a great business. I am looking forward such tools would be licensed by national public administrations or the like, I would make a lot of $$$.

Hi
>Watermarking. (for instance in pictures).
Ok, but what if I will destroy picture? Seriously I mean that there is always possibility that someone will destroy the signature. The one thing we can is that we can find out that someone has destroyed or messed in the signature (for example digital signature with message recovery)
>just like if you would mimic the signature of your mum for any signed paper >you had to return to people at school.
Can you forge digital signature? I bet you won't (and probably nobody at the moment). Of course I mean "modern" digital signature. For example we take some document, put it through some hash function (for example SHA1), encode result of hash function using RSA (with private key of the signer) and put together encoded hash and document. Now everybody can verify the signature, just by making hash from document, decoding encoded hash (with public key of the signer) and comparing this two hashes. If they are different signature is forged. It was simple example, real algorithms are more complex.

I need to implement a COM object (using ATL) which will have a property that is a collection. Anybody got a tutorial of how to do that?

It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a very long time to say, and to listen to.
