Deleting files with invalid file names. Franky Braem25-Jun-01 10:00 Franky Braem 25-Jun-01 10:00  While I was debugging a new version of SAWZip I create some files with invalid filenames. The filename was pointing to an invalid memory block. The name of the file looks like this &çàçàééjkl. I tried to delete them with Explorer and with the command-box but they both say I'm trying to delete an invalid file. I also tried to delete the entire directory. But that doens't work either. How can I get rid of them? Re: Deleting files with invalid file names.

Franky Braem25-Jun-01 20:02 Franky Braem 25-Jun-01 20:02  The problem is that it's not possible to know what the name of the file is. Maybe I've to try findfirst, findnext, ... There are some files with only spaces in the name and I can't delete them either. Re: Deleting files with invalid file names. Michael Dunn25-Jun-01 10:25 Michael Dunn 25-Jun-01 10:25  Odd that the OS let you create such a file in the first place. I'd try running ScanDisk, Norton Disk Doctor, or whatever disk repair tool you have. Those should find the invalid filename and correct it. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ #include "buffy_sig" Re: Deleting files with invalid file names. Franky Braem25-Jun-01 20:05 Franky Braem 25-Jun-01 20:05  Yes it's weird that the OS allows creating files with invalid names. I used the CreateDirectory and CreateFile api. It's even possible to create a file with a name that only contains spaces. I'll try to run scandisk this evening and I hope I get rid of these stupid files. Interface questions Jake Palmer25-Jun-01 9:09 Jake Palmer 25-Jun-01 9:09  I want to create an IAVIStream object - somehow this works to make a local variable but I cannot make a member variable of this type. I'm guessing that this is because I'm dealing with an interface, not a class. Does this mean that I must make a wrapper class or something, or a class that implements the interface somehow? (interfaces in java = good; in visual c++ = evil).;P I don't know why they didn't write AVIStream as a class. I'm trying not to get into any of this ATL ActiveX interface nonsense, but I have no idea if that is possible. I guess there's a question in here somewhere...is reading and writing an AVI file impossibly difficult, or am I just impossibly lost?

Stephen Kellett26-Jun-01 2:31 Stephen Kellett 26-Jun-01 2:31  There is an example in the platform SDK called processViewer (I think). This tells you which threads are running. I had a brief look at this a few months back. Gets the info by querying the performance counters and/or the registry if I remember correctly.

Starting an exe without a console window Kenny Demers25-Jun-01 7:58 Kenny Demers 25-Jun-01 7:58  Hi: I am using the C++ CreateProcess() method to start up an executable. I pass the CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag into the dwCreationFlags paramter to disable having a console window appear. It works fine in Windows 2000. But (as the documentation specifies) this does not work when my program runs under Windows 95. Does anyone know how to disable a console window from being displayed in Windows 95. As an alternative, does anyone know how I would disable a user's ability to close the console window that comes up once the java program starts running. Thanks, Kenny Demers Re: Starting an exe without a console window 25-Jun-01 8:59 25-Jun-01 8:59  You have to make use of the STARTUPINFO parameter. Make sure these flags are set: STARTUPINFO si; ... si.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW; si.wShowWindow = SW_HIDE; ... and then use that structure in your CreateProcess call.

Jack Mott25-Jun-01 5:17 Jack Mott 25-Jun-01 5:17  I'm working on an activex control that will sit in a webpage. I'm looking to add icons to me TreeView and am having trouble getting an ImageList set up. So far I've done this: CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ImageList, NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,IID_IImageList,(void** &m_ImageList); CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ListImages, NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,IID_IImages,(void**)&m_Images); Since I see that an ImageList needs the Image collection put into it, but then the Image Collection needs Images put into it and I have no idea how to set that up. Anyone have any tips or links? -Jack Mott jackm@scalablesoftware.com PROCENUMPROC 25-Jun-01 5:07 25-Jun-01 5:07  In Microsoft's example for creating a list of processes, they use a datatype call ed "PROCENUMPROC"... I was wondering whether this is an actual datatype or something they created for that example and didn't specify.

Try using one of the documented Win32 fucntions for semaphores. Or there are a few books on undocumented stuff (one from the Systems Internals guys and another from someone I can't remember).
