Did the program ran in Vista?
If not, why?. What error happened?.
Please, give more information about it.

Why you need to compile the DLL again?.
If it runs in XP usually should run in Vista.
However, if you are trying to compile the the DLL and you can't, will help a lot, the messages the compiler throws to understand why. We can't guessing what problem you have.

In C++ i am creating a mutex to guard the writing to a file.
I have 4 threads that call a method in a .dll. The method in that dll, will write to a file when needed. I have a questions surrounding the mutex. First off :
1. Do i use CreateMutex or OpenMutex
2. If i use CreateMutex, can someone guide me on where to find the
attribute list for the 1st parameter.
3. On both Create and Open Murtex, the last parameter 'LPCSTR' is supposed
to be a name of the mutex. Can i just create any name? Should it
be a GUID?
Thanks in advance

If you want only intraprocess synchronisation, IMHO then go for CriticalSection, and don't bother about the Mutex questions.

I used this same concept for writing to another file and had no issues.
Here is what i do:
HANDLE hmutex = OpenMutex(MUTEX_ALL_ACCESS. FALSE, TEXT("2354fg-45gefgg"));
if (NULL != hMUTEX)
{
WaitforSingleObject(hMutex, INFINITE);
Begin writing to file
}
ReleaseMutex(hMutex);
CloseHandle(hMutex);
Looks like the mutex returns null so i never get to write to my file.
Maybe there is something wrong with the name(third parameter)??

OpenMutex get the mutex Handle for an existing mutex. You must have a Mutex Created with CreateMutex. what about Critical section?

LCI wrote: 1. Do i use CreateMutex or OpenMutex
In the thread initializations, use CreateMutex(). If the mutex already exists then you'll get a
handle to it and GetLastError() returns ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS. If it's a new mutex you'll still get
a handle to it.
As others have mentioned, you don't need a named mutex if your threads are all in the same process -
which includes your DLL.

Windows security is beyond the scope of this board, but there is documentation[^]
Pass NULL if in doubt.

You can use a GUID (converted to a character string). Any unique string.
But again, no need for a named mutex if you only have one process - you can use a critical section instead.

Hi all,

Which API i should use for getting this....
Thanks in advance

TCHAR firstChar = yourTCharString[0];

what do you mean by element, may be the first token seperated by delimiters.
Specify exactly what you need.

pls help me to Get the caption of active window...
::GetActiveWindow()->GetWindowText(strCap); //ERROR
error C2039: 'GetWindowTextA' : is not a member of 'HWND__'
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\windef.h(195) : see declaration of 'HWND__'
|

I don't know what exactly are you trying to do. But for the code you've posted I see the following:
GetActiveWindow() return a HWND handle, there are not members functions to access from it. So, after saving your handle like this:
HWND hwnd = GetActiveWindow();
Then you could call GetWindowText like this:
GetWindowText(hwnd, strCap, sizeof(strCap))

Or he can combine them into one:
GetWindowText(GetActiveWindow(), strCap, sizeof(strcap)); That assumes that strcap is a definitive size. The last parameter may need to change if it happens to be a CString or strring or pointer to some buffer.
Good luck.

see this, ::GetActiveWindow()->GetWindowText(strCap); //ERROR
It looks like calling a member function using a class instance, possibly CWnd * (from GetActiveWindow), and :: makes the Global scope rather CWnd.
