Actually, in this case, I would like to defend Vista. It just tries and fills up available physical memory with programs that you consecutively use (XP does not do that, so there's plenty of free available memory shown up in the task manager) so that the next time you open the program, it is opened fast. A pretty good idea if you ask me.

Yes, it is good, if you've a lot of bloated-garbage-collected-applications...
Just kidding, you're right, but, I suppose this is not a new idea, Linux applications had sticky bits since a long time.

When a Windows process exits all its resources get freed automatically, including memory, whatever its programming language or technology is.

Making cleanup is fundamental task the wise C/C++ programmer.
That said, when a process is terminated, the OS frees automatically the allocated memory.

hi all，
i wrote several lines to set up a wide pen and use this pen draw lines and arcs to a screen and printer. on the screen the line width is ok, but on the screen the line is still thin with the width of zero.
static HPEN PC_hPen;
PC_hPen = CreatePen (PS_SOLID,2, RGB (255, 0, 0)) ;
SelectObject (PChdc, PC_hPen) ;
MoveToEx ( handle_dc, 1, 1, NULL) ;
LineTo ( handle_dc, 10,10 ) ;

on the printer the width is still zero, sorry.

If the underlined 'screen' means 'printer' then you possibly are not aware that printers, as general rule, have more more more resolution than screens.
I.e. you need a very thick pen to notice the difference.

Such a comparison makes poor sense.
A better one would be between MFC and QT. That said, let me google that for you.

QT is a cross-platform framework, which means you can compile the same code for different platforms. But, MFC/Visual C++ is specific to Windows platform.

And a lot of developers find it, as framework, better than MFC, but shhhhhhhhhh, don't tell Rajesh!

Hello:
I want to open a URL from a Visual C++ application in a default browser. This URL has a '#' character as following : file:///C:/Mydocument.html#_MySegment
I'm using the following instruction:
ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "file:///C:/Mydocument.html#_MySegment", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
The result is that the document is opened but it doesn't go to the mark "_MySegment".
Any help will be very appreciate.
Thanks in advanced!

Looking at this page[^] shows that ShellExecute parses the string you pass it to work out how to open it. I guess that file: protocol URLs are parsed like that to work out what file type you're passing it, and that ShellExecute just passes the filename to the browser.
I would suggest you use FindExecutable[^] to get the application associated with your HTML file and use that with ShellExecute or CreateProcess, explicitly passing your URL as a command-line parameter.

Thanks a lot for the help.
But also if I write in a command window:
start file:///c:\myDocument.html#_myMark
I have the same problem. It doesn't open the document at the mark position.
Thanks for the help!!!!

Yes, because start uses ShellExecute or ShellExecuteEx.
However, if you use FindExecutable with the filename of your HTML file, you get back the executable that is registered to handle the open verb. You can then use that with ShellExecute.
For example, FindExecutable (when called on an HTML file) gives this for me (it's Google Chrome):
C:\Documents and Settings\my-user-id\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
So, you can do something like this:
LPCTSTR url = "file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/u404261/Desktop/a.html#plop";
TCHAR path[32768] = {0};
DWORD nChars;
if (SUCCEEDED(PathCreateFromUrl(url, path, &nChars, 0)))
{
TCHAR execName[32768] = {0};
if ((int)FindExecutable(path, "c:\\", execName) > 32)
ShellExecute(0, "open", execName, url, "c:\\", SW_SHOWNORMAL);
}
We use PathCreateFromUrl to get a Windows path from the URL, as that's what FindExecutable acts on.

Hi any one plese help me
i am using GetVolumeInformation in my code for comressing some files and folder.
the used code is below
CString strDir = _T("D:\\CompressionTest");
TCHAR volBuff[256];
LPTSTR lpVolumeNameBuffer = volBuff;
DWORD nVolumeNameSize = 256;
LPDWORD lpVolumeSerialNumber;
LPDWORD lpMaximumComponentLength;
LPDWORD lpFileSystemFlags = 0;
TCHAR sysFileBuff[256];
LPTSTR lpFileSystemNameBuffer = sysFileBuff;
DWORD nFileSystemNameSize = 256;
if(!GetVolumeInformation(strDir,lpVolumeNameBuffer,nVolumeNameSize,lpVolumeSerialNumber,
lpMaximumComponentLength,lpFileSystemFlags,lpFileSystemNameBuffer,nFileSystemNameSize))
{
CHAR szBuf[80];
DWORD dw = GetLastError();
sprintf(szBuf, "failed: GetLastError returned %u\n",dw);
MessageBox(NULL, szBuf, "Error", MB_OK);
ExitProcess(dw);
}
plese inform me if i am doing any mistakes

you are missing a trailing "\"
For eg:
CString strDir = _T("D:\\CompressionTest\\");
Error code 123 indicates:
From MSDN:
ERROR_INVALID_NAME
123 (0x7B)
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

i tried trailing "\" like below
CString strDir = _T("D:\\CompressionTest\");
then its giving compilation error
D:\AcqUT\TestZip\TestZip.cpp(27) : error C2001: newline in constant
D:\AcqUT\TestZip\TestZip.cpp(27) : fatal error C1057: unexpected end of file in macro expansion
while using trailing '\'
CString strDir = _T("D:\\CompressionTest'\'");
no compilation error but mentioned problem was not resolved

you need to use a "\\" in the end _T("D:\\CompressionTest\\"); otherwise you are putting a escape sequence
You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.
