I think you did not get my point. I tried using a few api intercepting tools and I dont find windows explorer calling CreateProcess here. That is why I am wondering how it launches control panel?
Any shell experts around here?
thanks

Probably because it uses Control_RunDLL() instead.

It's a function used to run Control Panel applets.

It's not advertised (that much, anyway). Look in shell32.dll.

Can you not just move the .cpl files out of the way?

then I cannot open control panel either, right?, when my app is not running.
thanks

When your application closes, just move the .cpl files back to their rightful spot. Obviously this won't work if your application terminates abnormally.
Why are you wanting to restrict access to Control Panel when your application is running?

how do i pass command line argument in MFC? 
regards,
Rookie
|
|

Pass when and where ?
are you wanting to process the command line argument from within the application ?
if so, have a look at CCommandLineInfo and ParseCommandLine which should be placed in the InitInstance method ( I think they are placed there by default by the wizard when you create an application ).
are you wanting to add arguments to the executable when you launch it ?
if so, you can use the command tool ( dos shell ) to add arguments to the program name ( i'm not familiar with the format of the argument ).

thanks,i just tried CCommandLineInfo, but it returned nothing may be i've done wrong.
i just want to execute like,
myapp.exe "username","passwd"
then catch ihese inside the application.
in C , in the main() function ,we use argc and argv[] right?
in MFC ?

how about GetCommandLine();

"An MFC application will typically create a local instance of this class in the InitInstance function of its application object. This object is then passed to CWinApp::ParseCommandLine, which repeatedly calls ParseParam to fill the CCommandLineInfo object. The CCommandLineInfo object is then passed to CWinApp::ProcessShellCommand to handle the command-line arguments and flags."

Uhm.... no you are not. One smart thing you did was join CP  It is all about learning.

You can pass arguments to the application your are running in the IDE by going to the project settings menu -> debug Tab -> program arguments edit box.

Is there any tool to view the windows messages sent and received by an application?

Not really a C++ question, but I'm sure guys have answers anyway. I'm trying to render a video stream in WPF. By video, I don't mean a video file that WPF can just play, I'm talking about a stream of bytes and frames decoded and ready to blit to screen. Does anyone know what the technology of choice for doing the rendering is in the new world of WinFX? I want my video stream to happily coexist with all the WPF stuff in a single window - so I can transparently overlay buttons etc. on top. It seems that using DirectX rendering currently causes the Vista Window Mnager to deactivate all special effects, such as glass. What should I be doing? Is this likely to be a problem that will go away in future builds?

Does anyone know how to get a full path to a program registered under windows for a certain file extension?
For example: if a given file extension is .xls how is it possible to find Microsoft Excel executable file path to run the xls file ?
Any other ways except scanning registry? Any windows API's?

Just run Exel (through ShellExecute() for example). It is registered, so the system s knows already where it is

You can use AssocQueryString() or FindExecutable().
