sorry for not mentioning it earlier, it is from outside the software.
Actually, i want to detect the thread creation for a software (black box)running on windows xp. I want to write a software that could give me the following information for each thread in a process running on windows xp:
1. time of its creation
2. associated function (that was given in the lpStartAddress attribute of CreateThread function)

Thanks

Could you use the Thread32First()/Thread32Next() pair to get a list of threads, and then GetThreadTimes() to get time-related info?

One way is to create the process to be monitored using the CreateProcess[^] function and passing the DEBUG_PROCESS or DEBUG_ONLY_THIS_PROCESS flag (and I'd also add the CREATE_DEFAULT_ERROR_MODE flag) in the dwCreationFlags parameter. Alternatively you could use the DebugActiveProcess[^] function to attach to an active process. To find out how to proceed after this start at the WaitForDebugEvent[^] function.

In my system I have installed windows Vista os. When I entered into Vista, In the Login dialog, User Name and Password textboxes are there. When the Password text box is empty, it is showing "Password" text image. When we entered some character, that Password image had gone and the text which entered is dispalying as *. Here my question is when the Password fields is empty it showing the "Password" text image, whethere it is image or text, how do i get this feature in VC++ 6.0. Awaiting for your reply.

Sets the text that is displayed as the text cue, or tip, in an edit control when the control is empty and does not have focus.

Madhu's answer is correct for VC2003 and on. For VC6, you need to do the following:

Download and install a version of the Windows SDK that is compatible with VC6 AND has WIndows XP features[^]
Use the Edit_SetCueBannerText[^] macro (which you'll get by #including commctrl.h) to set the prompt text in the edit box. Note that the text you pass as the macro's second argument is a wide-string, something like L"Password"

Process that continues after you logoff

Hi !

I'm desperately seeking, not Susan, but a way to spawn a process on my computer which will not be killed when I logoff. Some sort of a background process ...

My customers are using our software and have the ability to launch a very long process (to compute something). I would like to give them the possibility of logging out (e.g. for the week-end).

Any ideas out there will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try windows services; You can find the sample at Creating a Simple Win32 Service in C++[^]

SQL Query In ADO MFC/Visual C++

m_pRS->Open("SELECT Name FROM EmployeeDetails",m_ptrConnection->ConnectionString, adOpenForwardOnly,adLockReadOnly , adCmdText);

This is my SQL query for opening an ADO recordset. Can you give me any idea on how to write a query which takes a value from a edit box and use it in the query. For example:

SELECT Name FROM EmployeeDetails WHERE Name=m_EditBoxValue

How am i supposed to append the remaining part of query.

Thank You In Advance

Re: SQL Query In ADO MFC/Visual C++ [modified]

Use CString's Format function

like

CString strQuery(_T(""));

strQuery.Format(_T("SELECT Name FROM EmployeeDetails WHERE Name='%s'"),m_EditBoxValue);

//then

m_pRS->Open(strQuery,m_ptrConnection->ConnectionString, adOpenForwardOnly,adLockReadOnly , adCmdText);

Rather than building a query string embedding the parameter value (can we say SQL Injection[^]?), I'd suggest you build a parameterised query[^].

For what you want, this would want something like:

// Create Command Object.
       Cmd1.CreateInstance( __uuidof( ADODB::Command ) );
       Cmd1->ActiveConnection = your connection;
       Cmd1->CommandText = _bstr_t(L"SELECT Name FROM EmployeeDetails WHERE Name=?");

       // Create Parameter Object.
       Param1 = Cmd1->CreateParameter( _bstr_t(L""),
                                       ADODB::adVarChar,
                                       ADODB::adParamInput,
                                       -1,
                                       _variant_t(_bstr_t(m_EditBoxValue) );
       Cmd1->Parameters->Append( Param1 );

       // Open Recordset Object.
       m_pRS = Cmd1->Execute( &vtEmpty, &vtEmpty2, ADODB::adCmdText );

To use the LIKE operator, just replace WHERE Name=? with WHERE Name LIKE ?

The Recordset does open but trying to fill the datagrid gives the error.
"Recordset not bookmarkable", I have set the Cursorlocation=adUseClient.
Any ideas.

Hi,
Is anyone familiar with the MAPI embedded attachments? I need to combine a message from my code, and attach an Image inside the message, so it will be visible as an image.
I was able to find an article from Microsoft that is supposed to explain how to do it(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/168903[^], but when I do it Outlook tells me (at the top of the new message) that the attachment was blocked since it unsafe. Does anybody have a clue? A code that does it or what flags / functions can solve it?

Thanks,
Yakobom

All versions of Outlook since Outlook 2000 Service Release 1 (SR1) include a security feature that blocks attachments that might put your computer at risk for viruses or other threats. Although Outlook blocks access to the attachment, the attachment still exists in the e-mail message.

This[^] MSDN article gives more detail on this; no codes.
Look at the Advanced troubleshooting section of the article, I am sure you can do some tweaking with outlook registry entries to Outlook's attachment security behavior locally. Or you can ZIP the image and attach to a mail so that your recipients may not see a security warning.

13-May-09 23:51

First of all, thanks for your quick answer.
I am familiar with the security issue, but I'm afraid my problem is a bit more complex than that - I am able to attach images in the 'regular' way (as an attachment), the problem is only when I try to embed it (so the image will appear as a part of the text). This is why I believe what you suggest cannot help me...
Any other ideas?
