Hello,
I am not a programmer but I need a simple program (assembled C++ code) for the following
Start ProcessX
Set TokenVirtualizationEnabled using SetTokenInformation for processX
Ideally the name of process X (or exact location directory) should be passed over through a parameter. like
this_is_what_I_need.exe /C:\Windows\Programs\Example\processX.exe
or
this_is_what_I_need.exe ProcessX.exe
Thanks in advance

I have data coming in and I store the one byte header in the struct
struct {
unsigned char flags;
unsigned char Checksum;
unsigned short int Sequence;
} PAcket Header
Now I need to read individually First, second, third & fourth bit and than need to read remaining 4 bits from the "flag" byte.
How do I do this. plz help....
THANKS!

This article[^] should help you getting the basics with bit masking.

That article Cedric pointed you at is great, but doesn't cover bit fields, which is what I'd use in your place.
Not by a compiler, so take this with healthy doubt over the exact syntax, but you can read a book, right?
struct {
union
{
unsigned char Byte;
struct {
unsigned char Flag1 : 1;
unsigned char Option1 : 2;
unsigned char Flag2 : 1;
unsigned char Flag3 : 1;
unsigned char Flag4 : 1;
unsigned char Flag5 : 1;
unsigned char Flag6 : 1;
} Bits;
} Flags;
unsigned char Checksum;
unsigned short int Sequence;
} PacketHeader
You can use it like:
PacketHeader packet;
ReadPacketSomehow (packet);
if (packet.Flags.Bits.Flag3)
{
....
}
if (packet.Flags.Bits.Option3 == 3)
{
....
}
Hope that helps you,
Iain.

@ Cedric Moonen - Thanks for the link will look into that...
@ Iain Clarke -- Thats what exactly how I coded and it was working fine.... but than coding standard dosent allow bit fields... so now I have to redo .... and I have very short time to get this thing converted.... (they recommended to use shift and mask... ) 
Sorry forgot to mention earlier that I cant use bit fields.... Please can someone help me with this....
THANKS!!!!

If you can't use bitfields, then the article Cedric pointed you at will tell you all you ever wanted to know about >>, and &.
Certainly more than I'll type as an answer.

I did say I wasn't by a compiler, and the reader should take my answer with a large dose of doubt. Lucky, eh...
I already had to edit it, because I had too many bits (9) to start with...
I've been lurking a while, but the questions were either already ably answered, or I couldn't think of anything polite to reply with. "You couldn't find your arse with elbows, Go get another career" isn't the most helpful answer, and a hint that I should avoid an answer. Don't want to be another Outlaw!

struct PacketHeader ph;
unsigned char firstbit = (ph.flags & 1);
unsigned char secondbit = ((ph.flags >> 1) & 1);
unsigned char thirdbit = ((ph.flags >> 2) & 1);
unsigned char fourthbit = ((ph.flags >> 3) & 1);
unsigned char remaining = (ph.flags >> 4);

what happens with if condition in following code?
int function(int i)
{
printf("inside function");
return 0;
}
int main()
{
if(function)
printf("hi");
else
printf("bye");
}
and output is only
hi
why compiler doesn't complaints about wrong function call?

What is fun in your code? Is that suposed ot be:
if (function) ...
?
If so, then the answer is simple, in your if the address of the function will be checked against zero, and since it is not zero, it will come out as TRUE thus, you get "hi".

yes.. it's
if(function)
and thanx ..I got it.

Your function doesn't get called.
I think you mean:
if (function (1234))
...
But instead you're checking if the pointer to function is not 0, which it isn't, so it counts as true, so you get "hi".

In more detail, a procedural function name in C/C++ is a pointer to a function (a memory address). This is how you can pass one function to another function (like with the CRT qsort() function.) So in your if statement, you are checking whether function exists, which it does. To call a function, you have to use the parentheses syntax, i.e. function(1).

killprocess and startexecute

please explain a bit. i can find good info about the killprocess.

1. CreateProcess[^] or ShellExecute[^]
2. Google is your friend, but look at this[^].

createprocess() can start a process but cannot restart a running process.
|
|
|
|

Sorry, i thought by "restart" you meant that the process got killed/exited by someone else, for example by a user action and you wanted to restart it again.

I just replied to your yesterday's post. Ignore it. Answer me here: What *exactly* are you trying to achieve. Why restart a Win32 Process? Why use both Win32 and MFC? None of this makes sense to me.
We may probably be able to suggest you a much better way of doing it, but only if you explain what are you trying to do.

sorry but i could not find my old question.
i created the win32 c++ application long back when i dont have any idea of mfc. it is working fine.
with mfc, i create a gui which accept the some content and save them in text files. these text files are then used by the win32 application. win32 application runs at startup of windows and it takes the information from the files and starts using it (it is socket application so it will not read the file again until it receives some information for the ip which is saved in the text file).
so i want to restart the win32 application when closing mfc application so that win32 application can use the updated text files.
actually i want to use TerminateProcess() and then start it with CreateProcess() function. but i read that TerminateProcess() can create problem with DLL structure.

How hard is it to add MFC support to the console application and send a message to it so that it reads the new file again in response to the message? I understand you are having a trouble communicating from your MFC app to the console app?

the win32 application is not a console application. i dont know how to communication between the two application can be set.
in vs2008, i used win32 project (not win32 console application) for creating the win32 application. also the header files used are ---
#include <windows.h>
#include <winsock.h>
#include <tchar.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <shlwapi.h>

Does you application contain or create a window. If yes, you can use Window Messaging to communicate between two application, just add common message id between two application, and related function in WndProc function for win32 application and between BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP and END_MESSAGE_MAP for MFC application.
