   Just a thought - when you try to start the executables, what do the error/return codes tell you? GetLastError() can tell you a lot in situations like this...

   Are you sure you are passing the correct ACCESS_MASK bit values?

   Peace!

   Again, what error codes are being returned?

   Does the service have the "Allow Service to interact with the Desktop" setting set?

   Peace!

Thanks again,

Getlasterror doesnt return any errorcode..actually the createprocess method succeeds(returns true)...but i havent set 'Allow Service to interact with the Desktop' right..How can i set it programmatically...
Is there any API to do this...and FYI, i am creating a custom desktop in winsta0 windowstation....

mine one is a simple service application where i donot create any user account to run my service (oops!!! i dont know to do that actually).

i think we can use ntrights to give the rights. but for whom should i give the right..can i directly give the service name to set the right..

pls correct me if i am wrong..

   You should use GetWindowsDirectory(...) to get the location of the Windows directory on the target system.

   You should not have to manually set up any environment variables unless other applications you are using specifically depend on them.

ChangeServiceConfig(...) can be used to turn that setting (SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCESS) on and off.

or hits. please anyone can help me atleast to get the problem other than this.

.NET comes up with predefined macros like __FUNCTION__ which can be handy while retrieving the function signatures in a program. Is there a way to get the same functionality in lower versions of VC++?

__FUNCTION__ is a special #define created for you by the compiler. Unless the compiler provides it, there's no way for you to code it, unless you do the following at the start of each function:

void API::Function1()
#undef  __FUNCTION__
#define __FUNCTION__ API::Function1
{
//...
}

void API::Function2()
#undef  __FUNCTION__
#define __FUNCTION__ API::Function2
{
//...
}

void API::Function3()
#undef  __FUNCTION__
#define __FUNCTION__ API::Function3
{
//...
}

which would get really, really old, really, really fast.

Hi,

How can I get the last part ("1") of the file name using strstr or something else ???

char dtSrt[BUF_SIZE] = "C:\\Test\\6.20.1.txt"		
char *pdest;
pdest = strstr(dtSrt,""); // ?????

This will point you to the dot separating the file's name from its extension:

CFile open and create file

I want to lock a file so that another application will not be able to open it. I am using CFile.open method with the flags CFile::modeRead|CFile::shareExclusive. However, after opening the file (and keeping it open) I am able to open the file using the windows api CreateFile function. How can I lock the file so that, the CreateFile function will fail?

I found out the problem. If you use createfile function with dwDesiredAccess flag as 0, then it will not try to open the file. It will only check whether the file exists.

I don't think that is a solution, at least for the problem you posted.
What will happen if another application tries to open your file?

if you can send the file, may be someone can chk it. I don't understand any particular reason for this to be possible. Like i told you window's does force not to write on a file that is being used.. u can get the exact details from the book "Windows Driver Development"
