Re: About Dialog Box : Plz Help Urgent - C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards

I've written a service and it can't access mapped network drives. Why?

I have referred to the FAQ but the answer does not solve the problem actually...
Below is my code of creating srevice:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SC_HANDLE hService =
::CreateService(
handle, // handle to SCM database
servicename.c_str(), // name of the service to install
servicename.c_str(), // name that is displayed on SCM
SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS, // can be accessed only by administrators
SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, // service runs its own process
SERVICE_AUTO_START, // started by SCM when StartService() is called
SERVICE_ERROR_IGNORE, // error logged but service started
ss, // pathname of the executable
NULL, // service does not belong to any group
NULL, // service does not use a tag
NULL, // requires NtLmsSp and EventLog service to be running
".\\Administrator", // user name to log on
"s" // password
);

Where are these words displayed ? Drawn by yourself on the client area of a window, in an edit box, ... ??

For the first case, simply create a timer and at each time it fires, redraw the the window and put the text at another position.

use Getwindowrect, ScreentoClient then use MoveWindow using the rect. if u've placed the text in a control. or use CDC::TextOut(x,y,string)..

eg:
int x=100,y=100;

{

this->GetWindowDC()->TextOut(x,y,"codeproject");
x+=10;
}

OK.
Handle the OnEraseBkgnd() like this:
.... OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC)
{
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);
pDC->FillSolidRect(&rect,RGB(255,0,0));
return TRUE;
}
The events list for a dialog box does not normally display this message to be handled in VC6. You need to change the "Filter for messages.." combo box to "Window".
Now the background will be bright Red.
To change the foreground, do you mean Static text etc?
Then you will need to subclass the CStatic, and handle its painting yourself. You can find many CStatic samples here on CP.

this is this.

there's no need to be so hurrying, because if anyone knows the answer, or if anyone want to answer you, you will stay in the same state.

moreover, you seem so hurry that i doubt you googled your problem, or even searched CodeProject for that.

my plotting application draws data in a window 400 pixels high 600 pxl wide.....x axis represents seconds(1 sec=2 pixel) how to scale the y-axis to plot larger values larger than 400,

thanks

Hello,

The following formula will help you to determine the amount of y - value amounts per pixel you need to plot your largest value:

ValuesPerPixel = Height / (MaxValue /* + spacing */)

You must wonder why to add a spacing. This is because you don't want too look that your graph goes out of the screen. You want to top to be clearly visible.

Hope this helps.

Hi All

I am willing to take the back up of registry (Key, Subkeys & Data) to other place(it may be hard disk, CD\DVD, LAN or any other media). also restore it to any specified location.

How will I do this?

What is the path where registry entries are stored?

Please Reply.

Thanks & Regards.

Your explorer may not show it by default unless you set to view hidden and system files through folder options-View

Infact now I am able to read & enumerate all the sub keys and also data value.

Now the problem is that how could I save it to a file (as regedit editor shows) and again restore it to its original location?

Please reply.

Use RegSaveKey() and RegRestoreKey() for this.

Of course. What did you expect with Windows 2000 Pro? Those other .dat files you referenced are for Windows 9x and Me.

Funny you should ask. I just read such a magazine article just a few weeks ago that went into painful detail how the registry was laid out. Unfortunately, I can't find that magazine. I've looked through all of my magazines and my browser history but I can't find it. That's so aggravating. Frown | :(

If I stumble across it in the future, I'll let you know.

Windows Service with network access

Anonymous14-Sep-05 0:05

14-Sep-05 0:05

I am creating a service which tries to access some files on a remote computer.
But seems my service has not right to access the files.

Can anybody suggest a method to solve this problem or give me some sample to refer to?

thanks in advance~

By default any service is registered to run as a special user called "SYSTEM", but this user does not have access to network resource. So you can register your service to run as a different user when you create it using CreateService(). the following two parameters of the function will do the trick I guess.
LPCTSTR lpServiceStartName,
LPCTSTR lpPassword

Otherwise you can manually change the user name after its created also using SCM->"Your Service"->Properties->Log on->This Account.
