HTTP doesn't have (as standard) the concepts required to support file finding. Instead, you probably need the server to return a file list when you GET http://server/test/ (many HTTP servers can give directory listings when you access a directory). Then you can filter that file list to work out which files you want to retrieve from the server.

Stuart,

Thanks much for the quick suggestion..I agree that the way server sending the list of files would be better and will proceed in that way..

Appreciating..

Thanks,

There is no MFC class for searching on HTTP servers because HTTP does not support the direct file manipulation required for searches. Can you use CFtpFileFind()?

I think its better try to find elements on the we sites(for example Buttons,Images,Labels,...).

Hi David, Hamid,

Thanks much for your responses and suggestions..just made logic like the server finds the list of files from the folder and sending the list to the client with a delimeter then the activex use it..

Thanks,

head file including problem

there is no direct way to do so, as website doesn't provide this due to security reason. there is other way around, you can create a dummy page on server, which search files for you and retrun you teh list when ever you call that page...? hope i am not missing something here!

HI all,

i m added my application in startup ,but its blocked in case od UAC enabled,
becoz application needs run as admin permission to execute.

At startup time its have not admin permission and than its blocked.

please tell me how can i run in strtup with admin permissions.

Noticing that when include <fstream> ,ifstream can be introducd like
ifstream source(fileName);

After checking the <fstream> file in nodepad,i can find no class ifstream.
Then <fstream> includes other head files,I check them one by one recursively
but find nothing.

From MSDN,A type basic_ifstream specialized on char template parameters.
typedef basic_ifstream<char,> > ifstream;
and the required head file is <fstream>

Then i was confused.

Thanks for your reply.

not exactely sure what your problem is ...

I usually :-

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

if Im using an ifstream

..... does that help ?

Re: head file including problem

25-Apr-09 2:24

thank for your concern.
I know it can be used like this ,as what you said.
BUT the question is i have reviewed <fstream> source code,
finding no declaration as what MSDN said:
typedef basic_ifstream<char,> > ifstream;
and even there is no "ifstream" appeared.
and i wonder why. Confused | :confused:

You must have been looking at the wrong source code. In my Visual Studio installation, the definition of the typedef ifstream is in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include\iosfwd, while the definition of basic_ifstream is in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include\fstream.

i am trying to adapt
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/AudioConfigurationManager.aspx to work under vista sp2.

Having it all running except for the interaction with the applet's button's
using i can't get it to supply me with information.

This code part gives me a headache:

ZeroMemory(&lvItem,sizeof(LVITEM));
ZeroMemory(&lState,0,sizeof(LVITEM));
ZeroMemory(&item,512);
defaultButton = handAcq->findChildWindow(appletWindow,BUTTON,DEFAULT_BUTTON);
listView = handAcq->findChildWindow(appletWindow,COMBO_BOX,NULL);
GetWindowThreadProcessId(listView,&procID);
HANDLE lView=OpenProcess(PROCESS_VM_OPERATION|PROCESS_VM_READ|PROCESS_VM_WRITE|PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION,false,procID);
if (lView)
{
LVITEM *_lvi=(LVITEM*)VirtualAllocEx(lView, NULL, sizeof(LVITEM),MEM_COMMIT,
PAGE_READWRITE);
char *_item=(char*)VirtualAllocEx(lView, NULL, 512, MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE);
lvi.cchTextMax=512;
lvi.pszText=_item;

_lvi->stateMask= (UINT)-1;
_lvi->mask=LVIF_STATE;

if (applyButton && defaultButton) //found buttons
{
// THIS DOESN'T WORK, RETURNS AN EMPTY lvitem STRUCTURE
SendMessage(listView, LVM_GETITEMSTATE, (WPARAM)0, (LPARAM)_lvi);
ReadProcessMemory(lView, _lvi, &lState, sizeof(LVITEM), NULL);

// THIS WORKS AND RETURNS THE ITEM NAMES
SendMessage(listView, LVM_GETITEMTEXT, (WPARAM)0, (LPARAM)_lvi);
ReadProcessMemory(lView, _item, item, 512, NULL);
}

There are no errors, just ignores any interaction with the applet other then retrieving strings.

What am i doing wrong?

Hi,

The other day I just figured out the Vista has different interface for accessing mixers (volume controls) because of new security restrictions it only allow your application to see stuff in your level,

In other words - you can only set / select the audio channel that your application is using,

Look at this:
IAudioEndpointVolume Interface[^]

Tnx for the input, i've already given up on using the Directx SDK. That's why i took the workaround, by calling the sound applet and just manipulating the message queue. I want to toggle the Realtek HD Audio between the speaker and digital output by code. Just read the itemstrings, see if they have a image state mask and move the cursor to the other one and push the setdefault button.

The kludge given by http://www.codeproject.com/Members/odlumb for xp works in xp, just under vista the applet doesn't respond

Something called 'defaultButton' is a list view? Either you've got the wrong control, or your naming convention is...very, very odd! Smile | :)

Judging by the call afterwards, you've got the wrong control

Looking in your original code, you attempt to initialise the LVITEM @ _lvi using these two lines:

_lvi->stateMask= (UINT)-1;
_lvi->mask=LVIF_STATE;

but that memory is in a different process! I think you need to use WriteProcessMemory to do that?

I just tried your code and my process crashed, probably because the address that _lvi refers to wasn't allocated in my progrm (but it is in yours?).

bingo! needed just a fresh eye. Been at it for more then a week now. Started with directx to find out the obvious and finally hooked up with this kludge.

Works fine now. I'll upload the finished code when done as an addition to the XP version. Added commandline switches for toggling

extern usage problem

linux_xjtu24-Apr-09 23:27

24-Apr-09 23:27

when i review <iostream> showing somewhat like this,
namespace std {
extern istream cin;
extern ostream cout;
extern ostream cerr;
extern ostream clog;

extern wistream wcin;
extern wostream wcout;
extern wostream wcerr;
extern wostream wclog;
};

Such globals like cin,cout,cerr are considered to be defined in other files accoring to "extern" keyword.But I have not got where they are defined from MSDN. Confused | :confused:

So i wonder if they are defined in just <iostream> ,although with extern keyword included.

Thanks very much for your reply.Appreciating. Rose | [Rose]

They are defined in the C++ runtime library, which automatically gets linked in if you compile and link C++ code.
