CreateProcessWithLogonW Function[^]

CreateProcessAsUser() windowstations and desktops[^]

You can also accomplish the same thing without writing code. I run my internet browsers under a limited account by using the runas application[^] which allows a process to be created under an account with restrictive permissions.

Here is how I do it here in my office:
1.) I create a very limited user which has very restricted rights, perhaps I name the account 'LimitedUserName'.
2.) Create a shortcut to Internet Explorer or your favorite insecure application.
3.) Right click the shortcut and in the edit box labeled Target add:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\runas.exe /user:LimitedUserName /SaveCred "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

Now Internet explorer will run as the user 'LimitedUserName' and may be less vunerable to exploits depending on your local user and security policies.

How to recieve a User defined messages in Win32 Console based [MFC supported] application from any other running Exe.

Re: How to recieve a User defined messages in Win32 Console based [MFC supported] application from any other running Exe.

Hi There.

Lets say, I have an exe. that sends a user defined message to my console based application on the basis of the title.

Now, I have to recieve that message in my Win32 Console based application. Just FYI, MFC support is enabled in this application.

Please provide your kind suggestions/pointers, so that I can proceed.

Thanks.

Re: How to recieve a User defined messages in Win32 Console based [MFC supported] application from any other running Exe.

8-Apr-09 19:47

I can very easily do this by implementing WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) function, if the application is Dialog based or MFC Doc View based application.

Another question: Can we implement WindowProc(...) in Win32 Console based application?

Thanks
PanB

Console applications don't have message loops.
You could however create a Window from a console application.

Not able to get you... I Mean, you said "You could however create a Window from a console application". Is that a solution to recieve User defined messages in Console application. If YES, then please provide pointers to impelment the same. Thanks.

Re: How to recieve a User defined messages in Win32 Console based [MFC supported] application from any other running Exe.

8-Apr-09 20:09

Do a CreateWindow from the console application. Now you have to have a WindowProc for the new window.

OR

You can create a thread in the console application that waits on a named event.
From the other EXE you can then set the event.

Re: How to recieve a User defined messages in Win32 Console based [MFC supported] application from any other running Exe.

Sorry Buddy. I am not very good at this.

Let me share the full scenerio with you.

There is an application let's say SENDER that will send a user defined message.
We have another application RECIEVER, a Win32 Console application, that needs to recieve that message and on the basis of that message need to do some processing.

Now, as per your suggestion, lets say I have Created a window using CreateWindow API. After this what should I do OR what am I suppose to do?

In case you need any further information from my side, then please let me know. Thanks.

Re: How to recieve a User defined messages in Win32 Console based [MFC supported] application from any other running Exe.

8-Apr-09 20:36

I recommend the event mechanism rather than sending messages.

Do this in the RECEIVER in a separate thread if needed.

HANDLE hEvent = CreateEvent(0, 0, 0, "MYMESSAGE");
WaitForSingleObject(hEvent, INFINITE);

Do this in the SENDER

HANDLE hEvent = CreateEvent(0, 0, 0, "MYMESSAGE");
SetEvent(hEvent);

8-Apr-09 20:30

Thanks for your help Paresh.
I know, how to send and recieve user defined messages in VC++ MFC based applications i.e., Dialog based/Doc View based application.

My main problem is to recieve user defined message in Win32 console based application. Though sending messages is not a problem. Problem is only to recieve the same.

Thanks

Did you mean, your console base application is running and you want to communicate to that application ?

Are you looking for something like IPC ?

If Yes, Please refer more information on IPC at here[^].

Hi All,
Is there a way we can startup the GDI+ 1.1 version?
If so what changes are required to use GDI+ 1.1?

Thanx.

1/ How did you learn about GDI+ 1.1?
2/ Did you search on microsoft? They probably know a thing or two about it.

I typed "GDI+ 1.1" into their search box, and this was the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.platformsdk.gdi&tid=9fd5c32d-07c6-4777-833c-6b47e1273b95&cat=&lang=&cr=&sloc=&p=1[^]
To take a quote from it:
No, it is not redistributable per EULA of office 2003 and Windows Vista.

So, you'll need to be running on vista, or require users to by O2k3.

Also:
How do I get GDI+ 1.1 to work with my app ?[^]

I have made a GDI+ 1.1 Library up in C#, it even includes full legacy emulation (albeit a bit slower than the using GPU like the GDI+ 1.1 does) for when the client machine is windows XP, you can find it here with full source:
