Re: How to translate applications using resources files

Thank you for replying.
However, I do not want to write an application that supports multiple language for the interface.
I'd just like to build one different version of my app for each language. Maybe it's a bit easier?

Best regards,
Allad

Sorry, I have been on a break.

The simplist approach would be to write your code using the functions prefixed with "_t" (Microsoft specific) to support single-byte, multibyte, and UNICODE character sets, depending on how it is compiled. Then require that their machine requires an OS (NT, Win2000, WinXP+) that supports UNICODE and only compile your code for UNICODE. Then you should be able to create one application that supports all UNICODE supported languages with one program (not including the interface).

If you need to support Win3.1, Win95, Win98, or Millinium Edition then it is to complicated to explain.

Good luck!

PUSER_INFO_3 users;
LPWSTR lp1;
DWORD d1,d2;

DWORD SizeName=sizeof(Name);
GetComputerName(Name,&SizeName);
lp1=A2W (Name);

NetApiBufferAllocate(1024,(LPVOID*)&users);

NetUserEnum(lp1,3,FILTER_NORMAL_ACCOUNT,(LPBYTE*)&users,MAX_PREFERRED_LENGTH, &d1,&d1,NULL );

and also use USES_CONVERSION; in the first code

I hope helpful for you

This example shows the hook of GetModuleHandleW in target process(process where you injected your dll). It works only in 32-bit windows.
If you injected your dll into multithreaded process you must synchronize execution of this code with other threads or program sometimes may crash.

<br />
#define BYTES_COUNT 0x05<br />
<br />
BYTE firstBytes[BYTES_COUNT];<br />
void *pfnGetModuleHandle;<br />
HANDLE __stdcall Handler(HANDLE hModule);<br />
<br />
// Only running process hook<br />
BOOL HookGetModuleHandle()<br />
{<br />
	HANDLE hKernel32;<br />
	DWORD dwOldProtect;<br />
<br />
	hKernel32 = LoadLibrary(_T("kernel32.dll"));<br />
	pfnGetModuleHandle = GetProcAddress((HMODULE)hKernel32, "GetModuleHandleW");<br />
<br />
	if (hKernel32 == NULL || pfnGetModuleHandle == NULL)<br />
	{<br />
		return FALSE;<br />
	}<br />
<br />
	memcpy(&firstBytes, pfnGetModuleHandle, BYTES_COUNT);<br />

My method is better to use, because it never fail, except when application detected and removed hook(very very rarely), but it creates additional problems with synchronization in mt applications and it doesn't work on windows other than 32 bit(without modification).
IAT modification is also good method, but this hook wouldn't work if application directly calls functions(call GetProcAddress to retrieve address of function...). Second method fails more offen than first.
Also you can create a dll that debugs process in which it injected by inserting int3 instructions into functions you want to hook. If number of functions to hook =< 4 you can use hardware breakpoints, setting hardware breakpoints do not require any code modifications.

Some time ago, I download codeproject about use debug process to inject dll, but in win98 all application will happen crash.

Only when application threads are not synchronized and context of current thread(that now hooking function) is switched to other that calls hooked function.

Hello all!
Problem: I am using SQL frm within my C++ code.
Can anyone tell me HOW to change a name of a column of a table (for a MS Access 2000 database)?

Using "ALTER TABLE table_name RENAME COLUMN old_name TO new_name" seems not to work because of syntax failure !

Thanks

You don't need the the type of the column to rename it. This should do the job...

ALTER TABLE Cars RENAME COLUMN Colour TO FormerColour;

Also, CHARACTER VARYING is just a synonym for TEXT if you'd rather use that to keep your queries smaller.

with (my) access 2000. Other idea?

Re: ALTER TABLE

Did you try running it specifically as a DDL query (under the Query/SQL Specific menu)?

If that still doesn't work, then I'm so glad I don't have to use Access anymore. Smile | :)

However, if you must use Access then you could always rename the column using ADOX rather than a SQL statement. Or if all else fails, you could still pull off the same thing by using separate queries like this...

ALTER TABLE Table1 ADD COLUMN New_Col TEXT(255);
UPDATE Table1 SET New_Col = Old_Col;
ALTER TABLE Table1 DROP COLUMN Old_Col;
