Actually I hooked it with the purpose of hiding a file. But as far as I could see the explorer makes a lot of calls for FindNextFile and it eventually crashes.
How can I hide the file though or how can I fix this pb.
I get the same pb when I hook CreateFile the explorer craseh immediatelly.

on no

of course you don't have to tell us the name of your app. but i thought it might be nice if you could warn us so that we could know in advance which programs are out to subvert our filesystems.

Hey man what is this a programming forum or a good manner forum.
And look at this Chris Losinger guy, the question wasn't addressed to him and it is not about servents. I said if you are willing to help ! Do you kn ow what that means ? As I can see no. Willing means if you want and no one is forcing you. I didn't say you must help me (like others post questions and get answers).
Isn't this a Visual C++ forum. Am I on the wrong website asking how to better hook FindNextFileW ?
If you think you can help and if you want to help I would appreciate that otherwise don't reply comment regarding the "IQ" of my question. For you smart guys it is very easy right? Well I am not like that. I don't need opinios wheter the program is good or bad the program is for me. I am not a hacker or whatever you might think. I am registered on this website for a while and it used to be better much better. Everybody would encourage you to ask whatever to develop your c++ skills, now everyone is treating you like a scum (and you call it evolution )
Now there are only wise guys that come around with opinions
Thank you.

I am new to windows programming, and am using Visual Studio .Net 2003.

I have a standard managed form which contains a number of data entry fields (textboxes, radio buttons etc), and a couple of buttons.

One of the buttons (labelled Save) activates an event handler that calls two functions. The first function will perform some validation on the data entered in the form, and then displays a message on a second smaller form with an OK button. This OK button closes the form. The second function then formats some of the data, and will eventually write it to a file.

How do I stop the second function running until after the OK button on the form displayed by the first function is clicked ? Or, in other words, how do I stop the 2nd function from running until the first is complete.

The program so far is listed below, and the event handler concerned is called collegeForm::buttonSave.

Many thanks

I have been developing my first ActiveX called MyJoy , which will use the Joystick and mouse as pointers. Snips of code in the MyJoyCtrl file is shown below.

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyJoyCtrl, COleControl)
    ON_OLEVERB(AFX_IDS_VERB_PROPERTIES, OnProperties)
    ON_MESSAGE(MM_JOY1MOVE, OnJoy1Move)
    ON_WM_MOUSEMOVE()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

Now I get the MM_JOY1MOVE messages but not the ON_WM_MOUSEMOVE, have I ommited something?

I have like for the Joystick included the OnMouseMove handler.

void CMyJoyCtrl::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
	x_m_pos = point.x;
	y_m_pos = point.y;
	if(capture == VARIANT_FALSE)	// No Joystick operational
	{
		x_pos = x_m_pos;
		y_pos = y_m_pos;
		z_pos = 0;
	}
}

Any suggestions please.

Hi there,
the compiling the following function:

int foo(int a){
int x;
x = 5; // error C2143
int y;
return x;
}

with the following compiler options:

/Od /D "WIN32"
/D "_MBCS" /FD /MTd
/Fp".\Debug/WINZVT.pch"
/Fo".\Debug/"
/Fd".\Debug/"
/FR".\Debug/"
/W0 /nologo /c /ZI /TC

error C2143: Syntaxfehler: Es fehlt ';' vor 'eingeben'
misssing ';'

this code is legal c in my opinion
is anybopy here who can tell me why this fails ?
thanks in advance

ciao Elias

if you are talking about pure C (not C++), ,this not is not valid. you have to declare all the variables before using them...

here, you declare int y; after x = 5;. switch these two lines.

Hello guys ,

I have started studying STL and
I am experiencing following problem , here is my source code :

//...

//Prototype of the function printVector
template <class T>
void printVector(const std::vector< T > &integers2);


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{

    std::vector< int > integers;

    integers.push_back(2);
	
    printVector(integers); //error here : see reference to function template instantiation 'void printVector<int>(const std::vector<_Ty> &)' being compiled

	
    return 0;
}

//Definition of printVector function
template < class T >
void printVector(const std::vector< T > &integers2)
{
	std::vector< T >::const_iterator constIterator;

	for(constIterator = integers2.begin();
	    constIterator != integers2.end; //2 errors here 
	    constIterator++)
	cout<<*constIterator<<' ' ;

}

I am getting 3 errors.

Does anybody have Idea what I am doing wrong ?

PS. I am using Visual Studio 2005

replace end with end()

moreover, next time, don't tell how many error you got, this is worthless. give directly the error messages !!! i'm sure here the compiler might tell you with an clear enough message what was wrong...
