ACLs[^]? Disks are objects, you can set ACLs on them, I believe.

If you need to do something with the device driver, then you probably need an appropriate IOCTL[^]

Or maybe this article[^] is of relevance?

that article explains the procedure for changing access through registry keys. it will fails if we have more than one usb device plugged in to the machine.

i want to use win32 api to change the access of usb device driver through vc++ application.

can you please explain me how can modify the acl of the volume stack of the usb device to make it read only

or is there any setupDi... function which makes a usb driver to read only

What you want is not achieved by adjusting the USB driver.

Stuart is right. You need to learn how to use ACL's if you want to control access to the files and folders on the USB drive.

Since you are wanting to control access to the device, an Access Control List/Entry will help.

You can get the current cursor position in screen coordinates using GetCursorPos[^].
You can then convert that to window relative coordinates using ScreenToClient[^].

Hello,

I want to create a static library using .net 2008 Framework 3.5 and export a function.
In order to call this function from a vc6 enviroment what project type I should use on the .net Enviroment and how should I call this function from vc6 application?
I would appreciate if you could send me a short code of both sides(.net,vc6) Smile

Thanks in advance...

Converto long to char []

Hello!

I am using a C51 compiler for a microcontroller (so not visual studio)

I am trying to convert a long int variable to a char*, using C-specific functions (no atoi and the rest)

long Value="1234";
char String[15];
sprintf(String,"%d",Value);

This puts in "String" the value "0".

If I make Value of type integer, it works. What seems to be the problem ?
Are there any (other) functions to help me do this ?

Where can I find the source code for ltoa and the family, to declare it ?

Thanks,
Shpid3r

try:

sprintf(String,"%ld",Value);

(that's a lowercase "L" - for "long")

How does this even compile ? You are trying to assign a string (yes, "1234" is actually a string) to a long. You should at least get a warning here...
Try without the double quotes:

long Value = 1234;

Of course it won`t compile with them Smile | :)

COM Object Released But DLL Still In Memory

15-Jul-09 4:16

Just FYI - I'm guessing that (unlike VC++), the C51 compiler has 16-bit ints, which are smaller than longs? And that the C51 is a big-endian chip? WHich would explain the zero result.

Hi,

I have a program that uses a COM object. At somepoint I try to release the object. After I do the release process, I can see using Process Explorer that the ActiveX DLL is still in memory.

My code is below. Am I doing something wrong? Why is the DLL still in memory?
ComReleaseTest.DLL is a test VB ActiveX DLL I wrote to debug this problem. It does nothing - all it has is one test sub which I am not even calling.

<br />
#include "stdafx.h"<br />
<br />
#import "..\ProductTree\winpos\drv32\ComReleaseTest.dll" no_namespace<br />
<br />
_CComReleaseTestPtr m_Srv;<br />
<br />
int Close();<br />
void ReleaseObject();<br />
<br />
int main(int argc, char* argv[])<br />
{<br />
	HRESULT hResult;<br />
<br />
	try<br />
	{	<br />
		if ( TRUE )<br />
		{<br />
			hResult = CoInitialize( NULL );<br />
<br />
			if ( hResult != S_OK )<br />
			{<br />
				return 1;<br />
			}<br />
		}<br />
<br />
		HRESULT hr = m_Srv.CreateInstance(__uuidof( CComReleaseTest ), NULL, CLSCTX_ALL);<br />
		if (FAILED(hr))<br />
			_com_issue_error(hr);<br />
    }<br />
	catch(_com_error& e)<br />
	{<br />
		return (1);<br />
    }<br />
<br />
	Close();<br />
<br />
	return (0);<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
int Close()<br />
{<br />
	long Result = 0;<br />
<br />
	if ( m_Srv != NULL )<br />
    {<br />
		TRY<br />
		{<br />
			ReleaseObject();<br />
		}<br />
		CATCH_ALL(e)<br />
		{<br />
			TCHAR sError[255];<br />
			e->GetErrorMessage(sError,255);<br />
		}<br />
		END_CATCH_ALL<br />
	}<br />
<br />
	return ( (short)Result );<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
void ReleaseObject()<br />
{<br />
<br />
	// Disconnect from VB ActiveX<br />
	try<br />
	{<br />
		m_Srv.Release();<br />
	}<br />
	catch(_com_error& e)<br />
	{<br />
	   //<br />
	}<br />
<br />
	free(m_Srv);<br />
	m_Srv.Detach();<br />
	<br />
<br />
	m_Srv = NULL;<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />

The reason I am trying to track this is that I have anotehr program that at somepoint calls an InstallShield 5.5 setup. This setup.exe hangs at 99% and I found that if my program does not call a certain ActiveX then there is no problem with the setup.exe. So I am trying to release that ActiveX before calling setup.exe, but the COM DLL just stays in memory!
