The Program files folder.
|
|
|
|

The problem is that the program files folder can be on several drives. I have MS office installed on my D drive and the installer created a program files folder by default. You'd have to search all fixed drives to make sure that it does not exists on any of them.

Have you tried looking at the SHGetFolderPath(), SHGetFolderLocation(), SH* functions?

Im trying to setup my app so that when a user right clicks on a associated file type then selects "run with myApp" itll open my app passing the files full path. Ive tried getCommandLine() and directly accessing m_lpCmdLine but both of these return the short file name.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not certain how do do exactly what you want, but couldn't you call GetLongPathName function once you know the short filename and convert it to the long name?
|
|
|
|
|
Unless he's calling a "short file name" just the "file name" as in x.exe. I've seen this that sometimes you get a full path in the command line and sometimes you just get the exe name.
If you want to get the path to the current executable, which is what you want? You don't want to trust the command line.
To get the path to the location of the exectuable (or DLL) use "GetModuleFileName" or "GetModuleFileNameEx". Those should get you the path to the executable.

Thank you very much! GetLongPathName was exactly what i needed.
Just out of curiosity, do you have any idea why id be getting a short filename? I manually setup the registry so that when someone right clicked on the file type it ran my program and passed the file as a parameter. Whenever my program would get the command line data itd be in the form:
<long path="" as="" i="" specified="" in="" the="" registry=""> <short path="" of="" the="" file="" selected="">
and by short path i mean the old school dos type w/ ~'s in the path

Glad the workaround worked for you. I'm sorry I don't know the proper way to do this...I haven't done any shell programming at all. I did find this article on the codeguru; not that I recommend or endorse the codeguru in any way - seeing that I'm a loyal codeproject user:

Hi, I'm currently using Visual Studio .NET 7.0. But some of the new projects I download are made for just 7.1, and I was wondering if it was possible to update 7.0 to 7.1 in the first place?
Thanks

You'll get much more favorable responses by providing only relevant code. No one likes spending their time wading through code that is not part of the problem.
How are you verifying that ThreadFunc() is not being called?

I am putting the Break Point in the ThreadFunc() but it is not going to that function.

On the BOOL bSuccess = TRUE statement, I assume? If so, could it be possible that the primary thread is terminating before the secondary thread has had a chance to start up?

I want to write one function in which I want to pass Computer Domain, Account Name, Password and absolute path of any one directory or file. From this four parameters I want to find out whether the entered user has privileges to get content of given file or directory or he is impersonating other user or such things...
Can any one help me ...Any function that you think will be helpful to me or any link which contain such similar example or any material to read ...plz I m waiting eagrly for it..
Thanking You

You want to do this on NTFS?
Security is a big pain, but this is what I think you have to do.
First, you need to get the security descriptor (The DACL is what you want I think) of the file. You can do this with "GetFileSecurity".
Then you need to have an access token of the client. If this is an RPC call, the user has already called in this context. You can call like "ImpersonateUser()" and then get the user's token with GetToken or something I forget the function, and you can then use one of the "AccessCheck" functions to check if that user has access. You can also call "LogonUser" since you have the password and username to get the user's token I believe. Those are the functions I'm pretty sure you want to look into.

Hi,
I am trying to implement a 'Help' file/dialogue (the standard Microsoft kind with the purple book in the L-hand corner). I have so far used the MFC Application Wizard, and selected that I do want a 'Help file' before beginning (the initialization process where you select whether or not you want ActiveX support, comments in your code, whether your app is multiple documents or dialogue-based etc.)
I understand that the text in the Help file is located in AfxDlg.rtf
When you choose to add a Help file to your application (my application is dialogue-based with buttons), the MFC Wizard automatically adds a 'Help' button to your Dialogue Box GUI. When you click the 'Help' button, it supposedly loads 'AfxDlg.rtf' (a text file that says #<<your app="">> Help Index
<<write a="" topic="" here="" that="" discusses="" your="" application's="" main="" dialog="">>).
But, my problem is: after I edit AfxDlg.rtf, when I click the Help button,
it is the same 'original' document (the document with the original #<<your app="">> Help Index <<write a="" topic="" here="" ...),="" and="" it="" doesn't="" even="" seem="" to="" recognize="" my="" changes="" (i="" changed="" afxdlg.rtf="" read="" #<<my="" app="">> Help Index ...); Does anyone know how to make the changes to AfxDlg.rtf get recognized? Or how to add on to the Help file? Is it a matter of linking?
Or editing a certain header file?
Thanks alot for your time.
Regards,

If the help SDK is installed correctly on your mahcine, and your MFC project built correctly originally, then each time you 'rebuild all' your Help file should be recompiled into the HLP file. The Help system does not load RTF files, it loads files 'compiled' into an HLP file. You should have an HPJ - help project file - that controls the building, and if you look, it should be part of your project, along with a couple other files related to help. Watch the build output window for something about 'microsoft windows help compiler' to go by, if it is missing, then your help file is not being recompiled as part of your project.

I'm using VC6 and creating a dialog in a DLL. I'm trying to add the Web Browser (ActiveX) Control to the dialog. I do this and a CWebBrowser2 class is automatically created for me. I use class wizard to add it as a member variable. But when I execute the code, the dialog will not show up. If I take the control out, it works. And if I try it in a dialog in an EXE, it works. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm writing an app and connects a computer to another peice of hardware via the serial port. I've got everything working however while writing my comm port settings to the registry, I found that I do not know how to determine what the flow control setting is set to. Has anyone worked with the flow control settings and know what from the DCB structure I'm suppsed to use that dertmines that?
Thanks

The documentation for the DCB structure did not help answer that question for you? Please explain how/why it is not sufficient.

it does not directly tell you whether it is xon/xoff or hardware or none. Not sure what in the DCB I need to look to determine what the user has set that setting for.
