Helo guys! I am working on a project where I have to get addresses from user interation and then get ahead wih my job. And the addresses I retrive are of the form:
d:\Somefolder\Somfile.something
And _unlink does not work on adresses of these kinds. I have to change it to something that looks like this:
D:\\Somefolder\\Somefile.something
Only then everything works fine.
Can somebody comment.
By the way I am using VS 2002

That's because the character '\' is an escape character. To specify you want the '\' character, you need to duplicate it.

I've created a hook using SetWindowsHookEx() which through the use of WH_SHELL has been able to monitor the creation of all windows.
I've also been trying to use this hook to monitor destruction of windows through the use of HSHELL_WINDOWDESTROYED. The documentation claims that the hook will be called prior to the window being destroyed. It also claims the WPARAM parameter will contain an HWND to the window about to be destroyed. My problem is that the WPARAM is NULL every time my hook gets called and in no way the HWND to the window. Is there something i'm missing?
A side note: HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED and HSHELL_WINDOWDESTROYED is never called by certain windows such as that of a console application however HSHELL_WINDOWACTIVATED is called by the console programs. I've been using this to 'detect' the creation of the console windows. The window is automatically activated when it launches. I still have no method for detecting console application termination.

Hi!
what is the smallest pointer address?
I think a pointer is never 1,2 (or 3)
to example :
void DrawDFText( LPSTR a) <br />
<br />
UINT i = (UINT) a;<br />
<br />
if ( i > 2 ) {<br />
TCHAR szBuf[180];<br />
wsprintf(szBuf, "address:%d ", a ); <br />
OutputDebugString( szBuf );<br />
return;<br />
};<br />
if ( i == 1 ) dothat1;<br />
if ( i == 2 ) dothat2;
it's right?
Regards!

Hi
Theoretically there is no smallest address a pointer can point to. In windows and c++ there is. But there is no need to know that value since you should never test against it. If you get a pointer like "LPSTR pStr" you should only check that its "!= NULL". Any thing else and you should assume that it’s a valid pointer. Its to job of the person giving you the pointer to be sure he gives you a valid one.
Also since this is c++ you really shouldnt use char arrays. Either use STL std::string or MFC CString when you need strings.
If you really want to know about how windows handles the memory and how pointers in it work. I can recomend the following book "Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows" by Jeffrey Richter[^]

Hi Magnus!
many thanks for your answer!
> ... there is no need to know that value since you should never test it
but I must test it,
if I call my Drawtext procedure with 1 should start BeginPaint,
if I call with 2 should start EndPaint,
if NULL it's a error,
otherwise should be draw the text from the pointer,
(the procedure is a DLL procedure, and I can't use too many parameters)
can be the address from one pointer 1 or 2 ?
void __declspec(dllexport) DrawDFText( LPSTR a)<br />
{ ... }<br />
<br />
<br />
and call like:<br />
<br />
DrawDFText(1);<br />
<br />
DrawDFText("line1");<br />
DrawDFText("line2");<br />
...<br />
DrawDFText(2);
Regards!

This is SO bad !!!
Why don't you create a function BeginPaint, EndPaint to do that explicitly ?

Hi!
I know, this is not really pretty, but it's works, and I never find any pointer address less then 1000.
(this is one DLL for my DATAFLEX program, I don't like to export 3 procs, if I can make the same work with a ugly one)
Regards
and sorry my english

There is a trick (a MACRO) found in the library to count the memory offset of the data member from the address of the struct which owns the data member.
It takes a pointer with the address = 0.

Another instance to see the address less than 1000 is something like this way:
class MyTool<br />
{<br />
public:<br />
WORD MergeValue(BYTE hi, BYTE lo) {<br />
WORD wT = hi;<br />
return (wT << 8) | lo;<br />
}<br />
};<br><br />
MyTool* pTool = 0;<br />
WORD v = pTool->MergeValue(0x43, 0x21);<br />

Hi!
thanks!
but this is to complex for me,
I speak from pointers to a string, allocated with new,
I can't imagine that they have address LT 1000, but ...

A pointer should be something like
UINT* pNum = &a;
And, to observe the address of the pointer, you should do this way:
sprintf(szBuf, "address: 0x%p \n", pNum);

Hi!
thanks!
but LPSTR is also a pointer to a null-terminated string
This type is declared in Winnt.h as follows:
typedef CHAR *LPSTR;
void DrawDFText( LPSTR a) <br />
{<br />
<br />
sprintf(szBuf, "address: %d ", a); <br />
<br />
};
works for me...
Regards

hi,
Is there any limitation on maximum number of threads a win32 process can spawn..??
Thanks,
|
|
|
|

nope... no hard limit. But you are going to run out of memory. Default each thread has a 1MB stack... so go from there. Also performance vise is that too many threads running (and doing stuff) you will start to loose so much time in the thread switches that the system will grind to halt.

I don't think (so I'm not sure) there is a limitation to the number of thread an application can spawn. However, each thread need some resources to be maintained and there is a time sharing process which becomes inefficient if you have too many threads.
In brief, having a huge amount a thread will decrease a lot the performances of your app. In general, having so many thread results from a bad design.

Capture the LVN_KEYDOWN message. You can then check to see if the key pressed is the delete key (VK_DELETE). If it is, then call your deletion routine as normal.
For e.g.
void CMyDialog::OnKeydownList(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
LV_KEYDOWN* pLVKeyDow = (LV_KEYDOWN*)pNMHDR;
switch( pLVKeyDow->wVKey )
{
case VK_F2:
ActivateEditing();
break;
case VK_DELETE:
OnDeleteitem();
break;
default:
break;
}
*pResult = 0;
}
