Did you try modifying the code as I mentioned yesterday?

WinExec("test.bat");
Sleep("5000");//Attach foreground window thread
//to our thread
AttachThreadInput(
    GetWindowThreadProcessId(
        ::GetForegroundWindow(),NULL),
    GetCurrentThreadId(),TRUE);

MessageBox("sdosn"....);
//Detach the attached thread
AttachThreadInput(
    GetWindowThreadProcessId(
        ::GetForegroundWindow(),NULL),
    GetCurrentThreadId(),FALSE);

Did you read the link I gave you yesterday?

Actually in windows XP or later only a thread that own the current active foreground window has the privilege to set another window in foreground. So i guess when you create another process, your application loose the foreground window property

Are you using MFC? You could use the CFileFind class.

CFileFind ff;
BOOL res = ff.FindFile(_T("C:\\*.*")); //Or specify extension *.ini or file name (C:\\test.ini)

while(res)
{
    res = ff.FindNextFile();
    if (!ff.IsDots() && !ff.IsDirectory())
    {
        //Do Somthing with found file
        //Justed edited post with next lines
        TCHAR szTmpPath[MAX_PATH];
        _stprintf(szTmpPath, ff.GetFilePath());
    }
}

Ok this is a bit dirty, and untested code. But I have used something similar

void myFindFile(szPath)
{
	CFileFind ff;
        HANDLE hFindFile;
	
	CString path = szPath;
	if(path.Right(1) != "\\")
		path += "\\";

	path += "*.*";

	BOOL res = ff.FindFile(path);
	
	while(res)
	{
		res = ff.FindNextFile();
		if (!ff.IsDots() && !ff.IsDirectory())
		{
			if(_tcsstr(ff.GetFileName(), _T("test.ini")))
			{
				//Found your file
			}
		}
		else if (!ff.IsDots() && ff.IsDirectory())
		{
			path = ff.GetFilePath();
			myFindFile(path);
		}
	}
}

Basically pass the starting point to this function

myFindFile(_T("D:"))

This function will search for every file on that given path, plus inside each folder the while loop is where you look for the specific file.

Hope it helps.

Hey all,

I have written a utility to remove printer drivers from a system, but the only problem I have come across is refreshing the printer and faxes folder. The driver is removed properly but the printer icon stays in the folder view until I press F5 (to refresh the folder).

I have tried using SHChangeNotify but can't seem to get it working.. Sigh | :sigh:

Any help is appreciated.

You cannot insert data into a file on disk.
You will need to create a new file, delete the old file and then rename the new file to the old filename.

By reading the data into some sort of data structure. Add to that data structure as necessary. Write the data structure to disk. Use Superman's suggestion for the rest.

When you click inside an edit control, the control first receives WM_SETFOCUS message and then receives the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message. Since you're highlighting in the set focus, when the button down message is received, the highlight is lost.

To achieve this, you need to derive your own class from CEdit, handle the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message inside your class and subclass the edit control with your class.

The CAnimateCtrl class only understands AVI files and not GIF files.
GIF Animation Control[^] is a custom control derived from CStatic for showing animated GIFs.

Try to simply return TRUE to prevent expanding.

//CTreeCtrl m_tree;
NMTREEVIEW* pnmtv = (NMTREEVIEW*) pNMHDR;
		
	HTREEITEM item = pnmtv->itemNew.hItem; 
	
	if ( pnmtv->action == TVE_EXPAND )
	{
		if(m_tree.GetCheck(item)==0)
		{
			return TRUE;
		}
	}
