Hi
Does anyone knows how can I get the list of applications that appears when you try to open a file with a unregistered extension?
Thanks in advance
Sebastian

Sorry, I reread your question and realised I pointed you to the wrong location. For the "open with" list, open regedit and navigate to HKEY_USERS. You will see a few unique id strings which makes it hard to give you a specific location. Use the search feature and search for "openwithlist", it should bring up a list of file extensions and details for each program to use.

The problem, is that I dont have an specific extension to look for.
Maybe I could check all the file extensions, and get all the exe files
filter the duplicated ones, and that will give me all the apps list.
I hoped Microsoft already have some kind of funtion to do that.
Thanks a lot mate  , I think I have a lot of work to do

no, all the open with's relate to each file type. So really you must know the file extension in order to know how to open the file. There is no such tool capable of doing what you want.
If you are trying to build a list of every instance of an "open with", you will need to parse each users account since one extension may not always be the same. Ie, I use UltrEdit for .txt files, but my wife uses Notepad (YuKK!!).

I needed a list of the main computer applications to authorize or deny the access of the application to a real time encripted disk.

I wouldn't rely on all the applications requiring access to be listed in the registry. For your type of application I would be more inclined to halt the process and prompt the user before allowing access, your own app can then store it's own list. Something similar to how a firewall works.

I found the solution to my problem.
To get a list of all the installed apps like the one you see when you select "Open With" after trying to execute a file with an unregistered extension.
You need to list the contents of the following registry key
Hope it helps someone in the future 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
Windows
CurrentVersion
App Paths

Hey,
I've a Application with a CFromView dervied class with a couple of CEdit controls. I store the Pointer (CWnd*) of the Control (retrieved with GetDlgItem(...)) in an Array on a second TopLevel Dialog. This dialog has a listbox where you can choose the edit controls. If the user select an item on the listbox, i want to set the focus to the control in my CFormview.
CWnd *pEditControl = arrayEditControls[2];
But when I call pEditControl->SetFocus() I get an exception...Why?

GetDlgItem() returns a temporary pointer that should not be stored. Store the window handle instead.

Ok, but when nothing happens with my CFormView (Controls) why is my (stored) pointer invalid. I thought the CWnd* is valid as long as the window exits.
Is the a better way to restore my CWnd* as the following:
<br />
CWnd test;<br />
test.Attach(m_hWnd);
...
test.Detach()<br />

Yes, but if you are only talking about a few edit controls, why not just store the CEdit object itself?

Do you mean a pointer to CEdit - Object? (the CEdit Object itself is located in my CFormView class). I thought CEdit is dervied from CWnd and thats why I originally stored the CWnd* pointer...
What do you think about my previous question?

The problem you are having is that GetDlgItem actually returns a CTempWnd* pointer.
MFC keeps a map of all the windows that are created. It maps CWnd objects to HWND handles making it very fast for MFC to find a CWnd given an HWND. When you have a window that is not created via CWnd::Create (your dialog controls in this instance), those windows are not include in the map. If GetDlgItem finds the window you want in the map it will return that CWnd* pointer, if not it will create a CTempWnd* pointer that you can use as a CWnd, but it is not added to the map. When that CTempWnd* pointer goes out of scope the CWnd object (as opposed to the HWND handle it wraps and the window it points to) is destroyed. If you save that pointer for later use it will just point to garbage.
That is why the docs for GetDlgItem state:
The returned pointer may be temporary and should not be stored for later use.

Just an FYI, that is not entirely true... I am fairly certain that if you use CWnd::SubclassWindow(...) or CWnd::Attach(...) to associate a CWnd-based object with an HWND and then call CWnd::GetDlgItem(...) for that particular HWND's control ID, you will get a pointer to that particular CWnd object, and not a temporary CTempWnd pointer.
Peace!

Does anyone have a basic reference for working with a DLL in a VC++ program? For example, suppose I have Sample.DLL which contains function Setup(int, int). I presume I have to do something to link the DLL to my program? Include? Do I just use Setup(int, int) in my program? Do I have to declare it in my program? Qualify it? (What if another DLL also contains Sample(int, int)?)
I'm looking for an article like, "Getting Started With A DLL." Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thanks. Many of those articles are perfect for someone beginning to work with DLL's.

With Visio 2003 Pro there is an option to design (under) File -> New -> Windows XP User Interface option.
Is it possible to import this 'dialog' into a Visual Studio 2005 MFC C++ application. This would allow someone to design the GUI away from the target project; i.e. GUI design in Viso and implementation in Visual Studio.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this message.
Cheers,
Andy.

Does Visio export a format that VS can understand?
