Hi folks..
Is there a way to read an exe file's version info, icon etc programatically
using C/C++ ?
e.g How do we read notepad.exe's version info via C/C++ calls?
thanks in advance..

Thanks man..
can this info (gathered via getfileversion,extracticon) be used to set the
version /icon of another exe file programmatically?

Nope, you have to use these api for Programmatically changing resource in other file :-
BeginUpdateResource,UpdateResource and EndUpdateResource.
And Here is article relating to above Api's

Hi,
There has to be a library function that does this? I need to convert a path from say:
C:¥Program Files¥Mozilla Firefox¥firefox.exe
to
C:¥¥"Program Files"¥¥"Mozilla Firefox"¥¥firefox.exe
The reason is I need to pass the full path name to _spawnl
I wrote a simple function to do this, but is there a library function that already does this?
Thanks in advance.

tsss,
no need to do this 
the strings using doubles \\ are because when you code, the single \ is used as the escape characters.
but if you get the path from say an edit box, the \ (written alone) are in the same format.
in brief, you need double back-slashes only in design/coding time...

You know, it's really weird, but with _spawnl I had to do this for it to work otherwise I got all these weird errors.
Anyway, I have just found the wonderful function CreateProcess().
Thanks!

but where did the string you were passing to _spawnl() come from ?
your source code ? or was it an entry the user passed to the program ?
anyway, you can use - for example - this functions :
CString strPath;
<font color=green>
strPath.Replace(<font color=gray>"\\"</font>, <font color=gray>"\\\\"</font>); <font color=green>

have you tried putting the entire path inside double quotes ?
csPath = "\"C:\\what ever\\file.exe\"";
just a thought.. don't know if it'll work or not

Thanks for the answers everyone. I moved to using CreateProcess() which just accepts a path like:
CString path = _T("\"c:\\path with spaces\\file.exe\"");
with _spawnl() I had to put quotes around every path element with spaces in it like so:
CString path = _T("c:\\\"path with spaces\"\\file.exe");

see if SetCapture[^] solves your problem, or else check with hooks[^] if they help.

If you're already drawing a rectangle on the desktop when your app is minimized, then you already have a solution.
Otherwise you could write a system-wide mouse hook.

Hi,
I was wondering if any of you know how to open microsoft word in C++? i need to pass strings out to a template word document to fill in.
Much thanks,
(john.parr@logicacmg.com)
I know the VB script method:
'Used to open word and populate CD label values in a word template'
Dim oWordApp
Dim oWordDoc
Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
If oWordApp Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Couldn't start Word."
Else
oWordApp.visible =true
Set oDoc = oWordApp.Documents.Add("C:\cdtemplate.dot")
with oDoc
.bookmarks("mainTitle1").Range.text="HELLO"
.bookmarks("subTitle1").Range.text="TEST_DATA, PLAN_TEST - 393"
End If

You'll need to use automation. Make a search on the MSDN site (here[^]) about the subject Word automation.
I think once you get the object, the methods will be the same as in VB.

How to Get remote/network printer is installed on LPT port or not?
By manan_be_it
I have got the printers who are Local as well as in network. Now i need only those printers in a network installed on LPT Port only.. do send me full CODE, buddies...

Shucks, assuming you used the EnumPrinters function you are already halfway there!
PRINTER_INFO_2 and PRINTER_INFO_5 have a field that already tells you this:
pPortName
Pointer to a null-terminated string that identifies the port(s) used to transmit data to the printer. If a printer is connected to more than one port, the names of each port must be separated by commas (for example, "LPT1:,LPT2:,LPT3:").
Windows 95/98/Me: This member can specify only one port because multiple ports per printer are not supported.

I think you forgot to include the header file where stringArray is declared in DisplayString.cpp
|
|
|
|
|
// DisplayString - output a character array to
// standard output, the MS-DOS window
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream.h>
// prototype declarations
void displayString(char stringArray[]);
int main(int nArg, char* pszArgs[])
{
char charMyName[] = {'H', 'a', 'n', 's', 'v', 'e', 'e', 'r', 0};
displayString(charMyName);
cout << "\n";
return 0;
}
// displayString - display a character string
// one character at a time
void displayString(char StringArray[])
{
for(int i = 0; stringArray[i] != 0; i++)
{
cout << stringArray[i];
}
}
Could you please tell me what's wrong.... I really cant figure this one out

There is a mismatch between StringArray in the function arguments and stringArray used in the function. Take care of the upper-case of the names.
Change it to:
void displayString(char StringArray[])<br />
{<br />
for(int i = 0; StringArray[i] != 0; i++)<br />
{<br />
cout << StringArray[i];<br />
}<br />
}<br />
