Re: How to get current user's SID

1-Feb-06 18:36

Does anyone knows the APIs to use to obtain the current user's SID?

thanks!

By SID, I mean the key under HKEY_USERS writing to which is equivalent of writing to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. There are multiple of keys under HKEY_USERS, which one maps to the current user's HKEY_CURRENT_USER?

thanks!

WM_CLOSE to Desktop

I get the "Shut down windows" dialog when I press Alt+F4 on the desktop, with all the other application windows minimized. To do this programmatically, which window is this that I should send WM_CLOSE to?

thanks!

I think it should be "Progman".

Yeah it acts as the parent for the desktop.

Yeah this works...

HWND hprg = ::FindWindow(_T("Progman"), NULL);
::SendMessage(hprg, WM_CLOSE, 0,0);

You can use spy++ to find that out.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a C++ class hierarchy tool? I need to document and analyze the structure of a large application.

Thanks,
Royce

You could try Doxygen.

Hi, Windows don't come with a "make" utility and I have just downloaded this project with makefile I need to compile. Any pointer? Thanks.

Cannot size window using STARTUPINFO

Visual studio comes with a tool called "nmake".

I would like my newly window to open up with the given sizes. The following code maximizes the window when it gets created. Why doesn't it work? Thanks!

STARTUPINFO stStartUpInfo;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pProcessInfo;

memset(&stStartUpInfo, 0, sizeof(STARTUPINFO));
stStartUpInfo.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);
stStartUpInfo.dwFlags = STARTF_USESIZE;

CreateProcess(NULL, CmdLine, NULL, NULL, FALSE, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
NULL, NULL, &stStartUpInfo, &pProcessInfo);

Look like the following is missing:
stStartUpInfo.wShowWindow = SW_MAXIMIZE;

Your code looks like it would show the window hidden as it memsets the struct to zero and 0 is SW_HIDE.

The window does show up but it's maximized. That's not what I want. I want the window size to be set to what I defined for dwXSize and dwYSize .

Stephen Hewitt1-Feb-06 14:14

1-Feb-06 14:14

Try this:

STARTUPINFO si;
ZeroMemory(&si, sizeof(si));
si.cb sizeof(si);
si.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW | STARTF_USEPOSITION | STARTF_USESIZE;
si.wShowWindow = SW_SHOWNORMAL;
si.dwX = 0;
si.dwY = 0;
si.dwXSize = 100;
si.dwYSize = 100;

It still maximizes the window. Ryan (below) mentioned that application can ignore the STARTUPINFO struct if it wants to. So is there no way around this?
