Hello
I need to write an application to recognize which USB HID Mouse is using at the moment. At least two mice are connected to the PC at one time. It should work in background and show in the background window or write to file movement positions of currently moving mouse in the system.
My way of thinking is to:
1) create main application (exe or DLL) with window which will:
- detects all Raw Input HID mouses but not regist them yet
- recieve messages from its window and from hooking DLL
- detects in seperate thread which window is currently on top (Foreground)
- if new window is on top call first RegisterRawInputDevices with Handle to new window then call "CreateHook" from DLL to reset Hooks to new thread
Below the code for the thread detecting top most window:
<br />
while (Running) {<br />
Sleep(1000); <br />
hWnd_curr = GetForegroundWindow();<br />
if(hWnd_curr != hWnd_old) {<br />
hWnd_old = hWnd_curr;<br />
GetWindowText(hWnd_curr,window_name,sizeof(window_name));<br />
<br />
Rid[0].hwndTarget = hWnd_curr;
<br />
if(!RegisterRawInputDevices(Rid, 1, sizeof (Rid[0]))) {<br />
_snprintf(logevent,sizeof(logevent),"Register Raw Input Devices FAILED");<br />
Write2File(logevent);<br />
continue;<br />
}<br />
<br />
if(pCreateHook != NULL && (dwThreadId = GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd_curr,&dwProcessId))!=0) <br />
msgHook = pCreateHook(WH_CALLWNDPROC,hwndMain,dwThreadId);<br />
<br />
}<br />
}
Unfortunately I cannot register raw input devices to the other window than the one I created in main program.
2) create a DLL that that be using Global Hooks for all messages from the window that is on top. DLL will contains one external function:
- CreateHook - clears old hook if not NULL and sets new hook for given threadID
in the DLL there is a callback function for collecting hooked messages which are directly sent to main application
static LRESULT CALLBACK msghook(UINT nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {<br />
<br />
if(nCode < 0) {<br />
CallNextHookEx(hook, nCode, wParam, lParam);<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />
<br />
INFO f; <br />
f.code=nCode; <br />
f.hhook=hook; <br />
f.lParam=lParam;<br />
<br />
cwpMessageParams = (PMSG)lParam;<br />
<br />
if(cwpMessageParams->message == WM_INPUT) <br />
SendMessage(mForm, messageCode, (WPARAM)(cwpMessageParams->message), (LPARAM)&f);<br />
<br />
return CallNextHookEx(hook, nCode, wParam, lParam);<br />
}
The second problem with is that this callback never gets WM_INPUT even if raw inputs are register to the window created in main application.
I'm using Win32 in VC++.
Any suggestions? Or maybe my way of thinking is wrong??
How is it possible to get at least the name of currently working mouse??
Thanks for any help

I do not believe you can reliably detect which mouse has produced the input from usermode... ring-3. RegisterRawInputDevices does not work like you are suggesting. You will need to write a filter driver. You need to create a mouse filter driver which is connected to \\Device\\PointerClass0 and \\Device\\PointerClass1 all other pointerclass input devices on the device chain.
You would need to implement some shared memory protected by KeAcquireSpinLock/KeReleaseSemaphore and each time the mouse moves, the filter driver would set this information in the shared memory each time it recieves input. You would need to also write a windows service which polls the driver IOCTL interface at regular intervals and retrieves the mouse currently/last in use. When multiple pointing devices are moving at the same time the resolution will be equal to your polling rate.
Its not a simple task.
Good luck,

Hi,
How can I pass switches in a exe?
|
|
|
|
|
 What do you mean ? You mean command line arguments ? If yes, then simply open the command prompt and add them after the executable name. If that's not what you are looking for, then you should explain more in details.
|
|
|
|
|
Also, from within the Visual Studio IDE, you can go to the project properties in the "Debugging" section
and put your commandline arguments in the "Command Arguments" setting.

I want to enumerate files on specific drive to get total count of files on that drive. Currently i am using only one thread for this but i want to use multiple thread for this so that job get divided into these thread.
Can anyone help me for my problem?

Is there a particular reason to do that ? If your program is not running on a multicore, then this will probably slow down the procedure, as you will incur the cost of thread switching and you'll need to protect some part of it for multi-threaded access (which will also slow down).

Some people think multi-threading would make it run faster ...

Yeah, but some people might be wrong 
|
|
|
|
|
make this multithread is leading into headache, because you'll have to synchronize your threads, so that each thread don't count the same file twice...
synchronized them is certainly going to make your multithread solution slower than a single threaded one...
|
|
|
|
|
yes that is the question that how can i assign the equal task to each thread.
|
|
|
|
|
IMO, using multiple threads to access a physical drive will make things worse.
Imagine the battle between the threads to get the control of the drive, there is only one moveable head on a disk.
|
|
|
|
|
After enumerating the files i want to process on files, in windows there is thread based switching, so if i have multiple thread my work will be fast. what do you think about this.

Of course DlgDirList returns number of folder or files when you use of it on the listbox.

Need help there is nothing wrong with the code that might be some Dll problem what are the dlls can cause a crash when we call MessageBoxIndirect( ) in vc++.
Please suggest me to find the actual problem that crashing the host
Thanks & Regards,
Ramarao.

Did you try to use your debugger to locate the problem more precisely ? Did you check the callstack and inspect the different variables around the crash occurence ?
With so little information, there's not much we can do...

Hi Cedric Moonen,
InitThunk((TMFP) &CExtBox::HookProc, this);
m_hHook = SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CBT, (HOOKPROC) GetThunk(), NULL,GetCurrentThreadId());
ASSERT(m_hHook);
nRes = MessageBoxIndirect(&mp);
if(m_hHook)
UnhookWindowsHookEx(m_hHook);
This is the code part i am using and it was crashing when it calls MessageBoxIndirect().
This code was running from a long time now in fresh version of release this is giving problem. If i use MessageBox( ) then it is working but the function that i am calling is used in somany places so i cannot avoid it.
It is giving the following Application error

Check Listing the Files in a Directory[^] and add the string to list box.

Set the LBS_MULTIPLESEL Style for List Box

ok.. thanks.. i got that..
now another thing that i need to do is to merge the files. say in the listbox there are 5 files. no i need to merge this file and save the merged file in another file name. what needs to be done for this?
how can i save the file names in different variable?

These are very basics, you refer msdn if you are using MFC, CListBox, CFile, CString member functions can be made use.
Chandrasekharanp wrote: say in the listbox there are 5 files
refer CListBox:: ( GetSelCount, GetSelItems, GetText)
Chandrasekharanp wrote: no i need to merge this file and save the merged file in another file name. what needs to be done for this?
Refer reading and writing to file using CFile.
Chandrasekharanp wrote: how can i save the file names in different variable?
from my previous reply the FindFirstFile API fills the WIN32_FIND_DATA it has cFileName member and use CString.
I expect you are not askig for Code for copy paste.

|

no. i don't expect that from u.. at times it happens that u go bonkers...at such situations u send these queries...
anyways thanks yaar.
