Please don't keep repeating your question, i think you are posting it at least the third time. You already got an answer from 3 different people (file assiciations), if this does not give you the solution you are looking for you should try asking differently, preferably giving more detail about what exactly you wish to do. Also mentioning that file associations is not what you want could help avoid getting this same answer over and over again. Good luck...

I believe we had given a solution for this.

do you want to pass the value that is assigned to the radio button to the command button?

if that is the case create an event for the radio button and inside the function assign a value(say .10 which is 10%) to a global variable. Then use this global variable in command button.

Hope this helps you.

Hi all,
I am making an application using vc++, when the process complete I need to boot the machine and at booting time it ask for disk check for FAT32 volume. I dont want that user will see this check disk black screen. So I am trying to check the disk with my code before machine boot.
Is there any win32API or any utility that checks disk so that I can implement it in to my code?

I dont want to use Chkdsk Method of the Win32_LogicalDisk Class.
One more option that I have to execute command chkdsk command on command prompt. But I am looking for any better option.

Thanks
Regards
M Chauhan

There's a reason the OS does this at boot time - when the OS is fully running, the disk is potentially changing all the time, invalidating the check. And what if there's a problem in a loaded file?

Why is the OS doing this all the time? Mine doesn't! And which OS...

There is an application, i sadly can't recall the name, but maybe you can google it up, that will list you what data formats are "contained in a drag-drop operation", so to say (all you have to do is grab an image in your browser and drop it onto the window of this app). You probably won't be able to gain the URL from the FILEDROP format BUT using this app (it's free btw, could be that it is even somewhere here on CodeProject) you could check what other formats the browser gives to you when you drag a picture and one of these might just be what you need. If i can remember the name of this app i will tell you...

p.s.: Are you handling WM_FILEDROP? If so, i recommend you rather use the OLE way, check this[^] article.
And hey, that article uses the proggie i mentioned before, it is called "ClipSpy". What are the odds...

[EDIT]
So i checked it myself dragging from FireFox, the drop contains the URL in many formats, seems like it has CF_TEXT and CF_UNICODETEXT or a format called UniformResourceLocator or UniformResourceLocatorW and some other formats which all contain the URL (http://www.whatever.com/pics/picturename.jpg for example).

[EDIT]
I just checked it with IE too and it seems to contain only UniformResourceLocator for the URL so that's your best bet.

Handing WM_FILEDDROP can only get the local file name,so I want to how can I get the URL or other informations which can help me gain URL from this Message ?
OLE seem can do this,Let's try

Thanks again for your answer.

I'm not sure now if you are asking how to do it or just saying that you will do it that way, but i give some pointers. If you check out that article i have given you you can learn how to make your window a drop target the OLE way. To accept the URL data all you have to do is to look for a different clipboard format than CF_HDROP. Thanks to ClipSpy we now know that what you need is the "UniformResourceLocator" format, you can use RegisterClipboardFormat[^] to gain the identifier for this format and then you should use that ID instead of CF_HDROP. Also thanks to ClipSpy we know that this format seems to be nothing else but a string containing the URL, so if you look at the article again and check out what CMyDropTarget::OnDrop does you should not have too much trouble changing it to gain the string.
Does this all help?

An outline for a solution of your problem:

An image seen in IE is actually a copy of that image stored on your HD, that's the reason you get a local filename. I quickly red the Article. My conclusion is that the writer somehow copies the HTML-page to the clipboard and then this html-page is inspected (because there's the url). You can mimic this behaviour by opening a html-page in IE, Rightclick (in a textarea), select "View source" from the contextmenu. Now it shows the Html-source in Notepad, select Paste to put it on the clipboard. (Inspect the writer's code to find out how he automated this.)

Now it's our turn: your program must inspect the clipboard to get the right URL... This is basicly a search in a textfile, although an Html-parser could help you).

Yes,Rozis,Your solution is right.
I do as Code-o-mat told me this morning and using a CF_DIB format to get ahGlobal ,save it as bitmap and it's work now.
I also find I can do follow as ClipSpy did,Get the image URL(It's seem use a "application/x-moz-file-promise-url" format can let's me get right URL directly without search textfile) first and then add some code to download it ,It's should be work. Wink | ;)

Anyway,thanks Rozis Smile | :)

Edit:
Sorry, "application/x-moz-file-promise-url" can only be get from firefox . it's seem like Rozis said ,If we want to gain the true image's URL across browser we should prase the html by ourself

need a class for generating security file

I have a file, which contains a set of ip addresses, i.e:

123.456.111.222
222.555.111.777
.....

The file will be installed with software together to users' PC.
The file will be updated by auto downloading, so it is independent from software, and IPs can not be written inside C++ code.

I hope users can't see these IPs, so I want to encoding it in a security format, maybe with password or not, and my software can read the file properly.

I think there must be some classes which can help me to do this.

Thanks for any links, comments or ideas - C++ classes are best.

CTime and time zone calculations

28-Jul-09 13:25

I am curious if these operations return the same results:

<br />
	_tzset();<br />
	if (GetTimeZoneInformation(&tzInfo) == TIME_ZONE_ID_STANDARD)<br />
		ctime = new CTime(startTime, 0);<br />
	else<br />
		ctime = new CTime(startTime, 1);<br />
	<br />
	time_t	nTime = (time_t) ctime->GetTime();<br />

and

<br />
	_tzset();<br />
	CTime *ctime = new CTime(startTime, -1);<br />
	time_t	nTime = (time_t) ctime->GetTime();<br />

I cannot guarantee if the host machine will have Time Zone information and/or Daylight Savings time info set on their operating system.

Can anyone tell me one way or the other? Blush | :O

And if they aren't set, maybe there's a reason. Trying to override something that the user has configured is rarely a good idea.

And now below code is in my *.cpp file

if(flag = 1)
{
savedata.push_back(Packet->data)
funcB(savedata); // I am getting error cannot convert parameter 1 from td::vector<_ty> // // to std::vector<_ty>
}
}

int funcB (vector<unsigned char=""> Usedata)
{
}

Please can someone tell me how can I pass vector to an func... and is my vector to vector assignment correct I am not gettign error.... for tht one..
