Hi Steve,
Thanks for your response.
When I downloaded this package it did not have any 'res\Tracker.rc2'.
But when I try to run this package it certainly asks for it.
Is the file missing from the package?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your help. I too think that a file is missing from the package. But there is no such comment on the page where this package is released. There are only +ve comments.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards

Is there a way to make an output such as
<code>Cout << "your message here" << endl;</code>
look as if it were being slowly typed out instead of just poping up instantly? like perhaps putting a pause between each letter? I know my post is a little grey,Thanks for your time!

Output one letter at a time with a call to Sleep() inbetween each leter.
cout << 'y';
Sleep(50);
cout << 'o';
Sleep(50);
...
cout << endl;<pre>

If you want this behaviour on more places, you should create a new output stream that accepts strings like your example and internally pauses between outputting each letter. The basic idea is the following:
class StdOutWithPause
{
public:
StdOutWithPause& operator << (const char* pszArg)
{
for( int i = 0; i < strlen(pszArg); i++ )
{ std::cout << pszArg[i]; Sleep(100); }
return *this;
}
};

We have a need to change the title bar of our SDI application. I have successfully used the Dundas Ultimate Toolbox 9 COXCaptionPainter and COXCaptionInfo classes to achieve this. I have resolved issues I faced with title bar changing back to Windows style look when the application window loses focus or is partially covered by another window etc. The one problem I am now wrestling with is while displaying modal windows such as the "About box" or "File Open". In these situations, the parent SDI window title goes back to its native Windows style look! Since the parent message loop does not execute when a modal window is displayed, how can I ensure the parent title bar is painted correctly? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ganesh

hiho@ll
what i'm interested in:
zonealarm opens a window if a "unkown" app wants to access the internet and asks if this app is allowed to do this
spybot does the same for the registry. if a app wants change the registry a window is opened to ask the user if this is allowed
btw: i'm not only interested in how do zonealarm and spybot know such stuff (that a app wants to change something), how can zonealarm or spybot can decide if the app is allowed or not? how can zonealarm control what the other apps are allowed to do?
how does such stuff work?
does it work for everything? (control of hardware and every software e.g. check if a specific function of a dll should be called?) is it a hook? if yes, how do they work? (a hint should do it)
thx@ll

Not exactly what you want, but I think it will show you how to control process creation system-wide, using hooks. Clickety

RegNotifyChangeKeyValue() is one possibility.

I would think large parts of such programs (ZoneAlarm) would run in ring 0 - essentially a driver. Programs like FileMon and RegMon from SysInternals[^] work like this.

thx guys
seems like a lot of work
but i think driver programming is a good hint

Hello,
I'm developing under Visual Studio 2005. I read that Unicode support has been made the default in Visual Studio 2005. And I can't compile anything.
All usual API functions I use, expect char* pointer. When I pass them a wchar_t* pointer, i get a compiler error.
When I try to cast from wchar_t* to char* I get an error all the same.
Please, can somebody help?
Thanks

check the size of the wchar_t value (i.e. check what sizeof(wchar_t) returns. In the past it was the same as an unsigned short. But I have heard that it is now no longer that by default. There should be some setting to turn that back on somewhere in the project C++ settings.

If you're using MFC, a simple way to do it is by using CStringA:
<br />
wchar_t* pBlah = L"blah";<br />
CStringA strAnsi(pBlah);<br />
CallAPI(strAnsi);<br />
If you're not using MFC, there's a handful of ways of doing it. The common Win32 routine is WideCharToMultiByte.
BTW, which APIs are you calling that expect a char*?

Actually I'm using MFC and your trick is very clever.
Thanks for replying.

If you're using MFC8, there's a better trick: CW2A() (there's actually a bunch of conversion classes, which you'll find the MSDN help)

These were introduced with VS 2002 IIRC - they are certainly in VS 2003.

I've read the MSDN page on WideCharToMultibyte. However, I can't figure out how to properly do the conversion. WCharToMutibyte has lots of conversion flags and I'm not very used to code pages and so
on.
Can you please tell me how to convert a simple wide char string pointer to usual one byte char pointer?
Thanks,

Sounds like the easy out would be to simply change to an ANSI build.

I've tried but I don't know which option to enable under the project settings in VC++ 2005.
Can you help?

I use MSVC6. He's how I do it:
1. Select "Project->Settings...".
2. Select "C/C++" tab.
3. In the "Category" combo select "General".
4. In the "Preprocessor definitions" edit remove "UNICODE" and "_UNICODE" and add "_MBCS".
Hopefully you can adapt these steps to 2005.

Thanks for your post.
However, I'd like to enable support for ANSI rather than Mutibyte characters.
Which compiler flag should I use instead of "_MBCS"?

Allad
