Is it possible to write a universal driver to trap the software interrupts alone.
(Any class/API supporting it?)

Simple Win32 Console App question...

Hey Guys ..

I'm running a Win32 Console UDP Server/Client application. I want to run my server update function inside my main loop while also checking for key input. All I need to check for is if a single key has been pressed.

The kicker is I need a way to continue on with the update without pausing for user input. When the user hits 't' for toggle it calls a function that closes the socket and reopens it as a server or client.

Here's what I have now, but as I said I need something that doesn't wait for user input.

Update()
{
char toggle;

toggle = cin.get()

if(toggle == 't')
{
ToggleMode();
}

// get all the packets we can
while(ReceiveData());

// Send all the data to the clients
SendData();

return true;
}

Thanks in advance!

Have a look at _kbhit()

Do I have to be using the CRT libraries for this?

I tried including <conio.h> but when I do:

if(_kbhit())
{ToggleMode()}

It never gets into the true condition hen I press any key on the key board.

Any help?

Yes. _kbhit is a C run-time function. Look it up in MSDN for some sample code.

How to use CreateProcessAsUser?!

Hi!

I've had some trouble with the CreateProcessAsUser function. I want to start a process with Admin privileges - respectevily which requires Admin privileges - within an application lunched by an account without having any rights.
So far so good. In using the LogonUser function I was able to get a hadle to the previously specified user which could be used for the CreateProcessAsUser function. But it won't work!!! Everytime I try to start a process I get the same error (1314). I've set out to do a search in the www and it seems there are a lot more people having the same problem. As I understand it the user account creating the new process must have a set of special privileges enabled. But how to assign those, since I still haven't any rights for it. I just want to implement a kind of the "RunAs" offered by Windows.
Is there a simple way of doing such a thing?

Thanks in advance

To enable a privilege, you can use code from this SDK article[^].

However, I think your trouble is that you need privileges that even an administrator does not have. The closest account that does have the privilege you're going to get is the service account. If you can create a service, use that.

That said, you should strongly consider using CreateProcessWithLogonW instead. It was specifically created to overcome the troubles with CreateProcessAsUser. It works by delegating to the "Secondary Logon" service.

What operating system are you using? CreateProcessAsUser was changed in WinXP so that SeTcbPrivilege is no longer required.

hi,

i'm trying to teach myself c++ (using mfc), i've just got a quick question. i'm not new to the vs enviorment, i've used it for c# programs.

i am running windows xp sp2 (home edition) with the newest version of the .net framework. i am using visual studio 2002.

when i place a 'rich edit 2.0 control' onto my form, the program won't run. when i remove the control, it runs.

As with all common controls, you have to call the right init function to get them loaded and their window classes registered.
MFC has AfxInitRichEdit() which is the function to call in your situation.

Printing Combinations

Hi,
Let me explain using a very simple example: finding all combinations of 2
from a set of 6 letters {A, B, C, D, E, F}. The first combination is AB and the
last is EF
The total number of possible combinations is: n!/(r!(n-r)!)=6!/(2!(6-2)!)=15
combinations
Let me show you all the combinations first:
AB
AC
AD
AE
AF
BC
BD
BE
BF
CD
CE
CF
DE
DF
EF

I want to print all the comibinations..........

Regards
James

You know the algorithm because you just did it manually. Two nested loops, one going from A to E, the other going from one letter after the first loop's letter to F. In each iteration of the inner loop, print out the current letters for both loops.

Creating a directory and copying files

Does anybody know how to copy files or create directory for a windows environment.

I only know how to use the create and copy methods in a .net framework.

Thanks

Depending on how complex your operation is, you can use CreateDirectory(), SHCreateDirectoryEx(), CopyFile(), and SHFileOperation()

SetWindowTheme - How does it work?

peburkle18-Feb-06 8:03

18-Feb-06 8:03

Hi all. I´m trying to use the API method SetWindowTheme() to completly ride my application from XP theme. My application has custom caption bar and border, and it looks strange when the XP theme is set. But nothing happens when I call this method.

My code:

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
...

SetWindowTheme(this->m_hWnd, NULL, NULL );

return 0;
}

This should work? Please, anyone can help me?

Re: SetWindowTheme - How does it work?

Michael Dunn18-Feb-06 9:41

Michael Dunn

From the docs:

When pszSubAppName and pszSubIdList are NULL, the theme manager removes the previously applied associations. To prevent visual styles from being applied to a specified window, pass an empty string, (L""), which will not match any section entries.

How can i use many modal dialog without main Window

I have class A:CWinApp then call many dialog.Domodal() without main windows.Because we not assign value for m_pMainWnd so that dialog is no longer modal dialog.

Re: How can i use many modal dialog without main Window

Gary R. Wheeler19-Feb-06 4:32

19-Feb-06 4:32

You can't have more than one modal dialog at a time; that's what it means for a dialog to be modal. It takes over the message loop for the application while it is displayed, and control doesn't return to the primary window until the modal dialog closes.

If you want to have multiple dialogs opened simultaneously by an application, you will need to make them modeless. Instead of calling DoModal(), call Create() and ShowWindow().
