Steps:
1: Get a copy of Windows Driver Kit V6001.
2: Install Windows Driver Kit.
3: You get lots of sample code in the hard disk.
BTW, there is no MFC in device driver code.

HI ,
im using UrlDownloadtofile() to download some files ...but the issue is if the file is present im able to download file(With return value S_OK) ...but if the server is not accessible ie (some issue with IIS or any other..) or if the file is not present im not getting the exact return value from UrlDownloadtofile to specify to user whether it is server issue or File not present...in MSDN it was given that if the return value is INET_E_DOWNLOAD_FAILURE then file is not present in the server but...im getting some junk value like -2146697210...when the file is not present in the server or server is not accessible....
So please let me know how can i notify user what is the exact problem....

As per the documentation, this function will return, either of the following values,
S_OK - 0
E_OUTOFMEMORY - 0x80000002
INET_E_DOWNLOAD_FAILURE - 0x800C0008
and from the error code you've given the value is negative which means that you're taking this values to a signed variable like int.
The actual return type is HRESULT and the values are defined with unsigned hexadecimal. Please compare it with INET_E_DOWNLOAD_FAILURE, S_OK or E_OUTOFMEMORY to know whether it has succeeded or not.
The error code you've given is close to INET_E_DOWNLOAD_FAILURE value. Please compare against it.

Have you tried:
if (GetActiveWindow() == GetDesktopWindow())

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply. I tried using the GetForeGroundWindow but that didn't work.
thanks

Assuming you meant GetForegroundWindow(), I don't recall suggesting it.
Anyway, what does it return? Have you compared that window handle with those in Spy++?

Hi David,
I tried by using GetActiveWindow() but MSDN says
"The GetActiveWindow function retrieves the window handle to the active window attached to the calling thread's message queue." . So i am getting NULL when my application's window is not the current window.
Do u have any suggestion?.
thanks.

How do i write to a text file with out erasing the previous data on the same text file
Dercio@C++
|
|

You should write it in append mode.
like in C++,
include<fstream>
std::ofstream ofs("mtfile.txt",ios::app);
ofs<<"Hi";
ofs.close()
ios::app says it's append mode. But just a question, Do you have a C++ book on hand?

In the fopen function set the mode parameter to "a" or "a+"

why do we sometimes need to pass by reference, a parameter of a function
Dercio@C++
|
|
|
|

1.Passing by parameter ensures, you don't create multiple copies.
2.As you don't make copies, it saves memory and be faster.
3.When you change something to the reference, it would mean you are changing the actual object. So serves the purpose.
4. The same can be done using pointers, but reference are better in many ways. The major advantage is that you dont need to check for NULL every time.

Hello Dercio,
1) To avoid creating unnecessary temporary copy of variable while calling functions.
2) More user friendly method than pointers to get data back from functions. For instance
void GetString( CString& Value )
{
Value = "I've changed the value.";
}
...
CString csString;
GetString( csString );
Regards,
Jijo.

I will answer that question for you if you will answer my question.
Q: Why do people sometimes need to ask questions in internet forums for which there are massive amounts of existing information on the internet and in books which they could choose to read?
