It is the same as the 'Open' item on the menu if you right click on a file, it uses the default action on that file type.
I have used this on Word documents and Excel spreadsheets.

You may not have VS, but you have the Internet[^].
ShellExecute performs verbs on an object. This can be "open" (verb) abc.zip (object), or "print" zorro.doc - anything that is registered within the local system. Your application need not even know what the application is; and it will automatically use the user's default application. For instance, "edit" readme.txt will laucnh that file in the user's preferred editor for txt file.

i don't see where is the problem... MSDN have an inline web site...
the url for Visual C++ is www.msdn.microsoft.com/visualc
there, search for ShellExecute()[^]...
not so hard to do by yourself isn't it ? :->

My C++ application has to read X amount of files from a directory to parse each one and pick out certain data. The file names of these files are variable and i have no control over them, so i would just want to read every file regardless of name. I would read a file, load it into my XML DOM parser , grab data , then close the file and move on to the next. If there are 50 files in the directory, i want to be able to read all 50 and pull out certain pieces of text from all 50.
Is there a straightforward way to do this using C++ or can anyone point me to some sample code, cause i know there has to be samples on this somewhere.
Thanks..

Try _findfirst, findnext and _findclose.
There are wide version of these functions as well.

What would be an example of how to use these methods if my filename is unknown and i just want to open all files one by one in a specific directory?

Use "*.*" pattern.

If you're using C++ and not C then use a vector instead of an array.

i don't agree. there is not only ONE solution to a problem. vector certainly have some advantages, but they are surely not the best is other cases.
all depends on what you need to do.
vectors are types of lists that are optimized when their size/number of elements vary more than "a few times"...
but they are not the only container to be used ; there is vector, list, stack...

My point was that he should use a data structure class in preference to a raw array. If you don't have any particular requirements then the recommendation is to go for a vector. For example, see the guidance in Josuttis' The C++ Standard Library.

By definition, a vector is an array.

Hi all,
A while back I wrote a series of middleware apps that need to communicate together (simple notifications between themselves); I've done so successfully using mailslots.
Since mailslots "do not ever guarantee successful delivery of messages" (as per MSDN documentation), I made the communication bi-directional--send a message, wait for confirmation, etc. The system's been running for months now without a hitch--according to my logs, not a single message has been dropped during that timeframe (they're typically generated at a rate of maybe a dozen messages per second when the system is busy).
In the process of replacing some third-party software from a now-defunct company (an Exchange plug-in, essentially), I've written an ATL-based SMTP sink to intercept incoming emails, and need to relay notifications using that mailslot system (I'd like not to change the other components if I can help it as it's been working flawlessly). In effect, I'm replacing one DLL out of the few EXEs that make up the whole system. How the rest of the system works is irrelevant.
I have no problem with the sink itself at this point.
It seems however that now that the code to create a mailslot exists and runs within the context of an SMTP sink (and not the third party's standalone EXE), other apps are denied access--when they try to access the existing mailslot to try to write to it, ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED is returned. On the other hand, I have an EXE that also creates a mailslot, and the SMTP sink DLL has no problem writing to that. The problem is that the DLL also creates its own mailslot, and the EXE cannot write to that.
I'm tempted to change permissions of the process hosting my SMTP sink DLL (thus, the SMTP service), however I'm rather uncomfortable with fiddling with additional permissions on a machine that has a static IP address and runs IIS/SMTP.
What it comes down to is this: an EXE running on the machine is denied access to a mailslot that was also created--on the same machine--by a DLL.
What are my options?
(I suspect I will have to clarify this...)

Hello. I have two bitmaps - a gradient and a picture. I want to mix their colors.
I do it this way:
hDC = GetDC( hWnd );<br />
hMemDC = CreateCompatibleDC( hDC );<br />
SelectObject( hMemDC, hGradient );<br />
BitBlt(hDC, 0, 0, gradientInfo.bmWidth, gradientInfo.bmHeight, hMemDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);<br />
SelectObject (hMemDC, hNumbers);<br />
BitBlt(hDC, 0, 0, numbersInfo.bmWidth, gradientInfo.bmHeight, hMemDC, 0, 540, SRCAND);
But the result is terrible. Please tell me how to mix bitmap colors properly. Thank you.

Xaarquath,
Take a look at the "AlphaBlend" function. This is made to do exactly that sort of thing. Essentially, it lets you specify the "opacity" of the image you place in front and blends the two images together accordingly. It functions very much like BitBlt, so you shouldn't have any trouble figuring it out.
