To do that correctly takes quite a bit of know-how. It is not as simple as just filling a file with one pass of random data (which, BTW, is more secure than using just zeros because the bit patterns are different) and then deleting the file.
Without even getting into issues like how magnetic media works and how "underlying" bit patterns can be recoverable using really expensive equipment (see: Peter Gutmann's paper on this[^]), simple things like the OS cache, and disk cache will interfere greatly.
For example, just because you wrote 1MB of data in code does not mean that it has made its way to disk (yet). It could hang around in the OS cache, and then in the disk cache. If you write the same file location multiple times (i.e. you were trying multiple write passes with different random data like you should), the disk might not get any of the writes except the last one.
You really need to research how caches work in your target OS as well as on disk drives, and then how modern magnetic storage works before going down this path. Tip - you will at least have to learn about which different bit patterns to write and how many times they need to be put on the media.
Why do I know this? Because I have written "secure deletion" software before, and debunked other so-called secure deletion programs as part of for-hire research (quite a few years ago and no, I cannot say the company). Today's drives may work a lot different than the ones I worked with before, so things may be even more difficult these days.
I will say that much of the "security" software out there do nothing more than offer a false sense of security.

I think he is making a copy at some point, and then deleting the original... Still doesn't make sense though. Why not just modify that same file?

No, It is not making any copy, I checked the file content throuh file system.

Hi Experts,
How to use _commit(int fd)?
what is mean by fd-file descriptor?
Is there any example?

file descriptor returned by api's like _open();
pther wrote: How to use _commit(int fd)?
int fd = _open( "sample.txt", _O_RDWR);
... write something to file.
_commit(fd);
"The _commit function forces the operating system to write the file associated with fd to disk. This call ensures that the specified file is flushed immediately, not at the operating system's discretion." from msdn;

[add] are you looking for CRichEditCtrl::LimitText[^]? [/add]

Handle the WM_PASTE command and covert the font size to required size.

i am using SendMessage(WM_PASTE,(WPARAM)0,(LPARAM)0); command but my issue is how i set the font size.

It doesn't matter how the text is being pasted. You just need to add an appropriate handler to your control and write your code to format the text there.

I am using the appropriate handler but i dont find any message handler to set the size .EM_SETFONTSIZE doesnt work "error C2065: 'EM_SETFONTSIZE' : undeclared identifier"
Do you have any clue.

You should find the handler of the rich edit control for the PASTE message, and then use the member function(s) of the rich edit control with which you could do formatting.

Have you tried handling WM_PASTE for your control? Have a look at the members[^] of CRichEditCtrl, which may help you to set the format of the text which is being pasted.

try handlling CRichEditCtrl::Paste , there you could manipulate data before actually putting on editcontrol

i m properly handle it but the issue is different.do you have any message handler or api so that its font size should be fixed??

Hey Shilpi,
I'm fiddling between two different machines (on my development machine, the internet is temporarily not working). You could use SetDefaultCharFormat[^] to set the default character format of your rich edit control. Any text entered would be according to the format you've specified with this call.

ADD L before string
HRSRC hResLoad = FindResource(AfxGetResourceHandle(),MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_IDR_EXE_EXEEXTRACTOR),L"IDR_EXE");

I have one more problem....
CString m_FName;
LPCSTR data = (LPCSTR)LockResource(hResData);
CString strFName = m_FName + data;
third line gives error
error C2679: binary '+' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'LPCSTR' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
