I'm going to make your life harder still:
Taxes: Hierarchical Storage Management[^]
This is not something I've ever come across myself - but you're actively looking for edge cases, which I approve of 100%.
But a little easier also. I didn't trust explorer to show every possibility with the Tools | Map Network Drive command, so I looked at "net use /help" at a command prompt, and saw this following bit:
The syntax of this command is:
NET USE
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
[/USER:[domainname\]username]
[/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
[/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
[/SMARTCARD]
[/SAVECRED]
[[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]
....
devicename Assigns a name to connect to the resource or specifies
the device to be disconnected. There are two kinds of
devicenames: disk drives (D: through Z:) and printers
(LPT1: through LPT3:). Type an asterisk instead of a
specific devicename to assign the next available
devicename.
....
So, that implies strongly that volume reparse stuff is only for actual partitions, not network drives.
So GetDriveType will work for you if the path starts with a drive letter.
Hope that helps!

If they managed to successfully label 32 disks on their system (with only 26 letters), why would your code care? Now if it was your code's job to do that labeling, that's a whole other issue.

Because I need to determine if something like 'C:\Drive32' refers to a Dir on the Current Computer, or to a File located on a Share on another computer. GetDiskId() tells me it is on thisone, the Name suggests otherwise!

I tryed to use
AddAceToObjectsSecurityDescriptor()
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa379283%28VS.85%29.aspx[^]
to give certain rights to some generic users on files, directories, etc.
All worked OK until I tryed to use the acronyms
Everyone
Guest
etc.
on system that are localized (German, Finnish, etc.). Is there any alternate solution to
AddAceToObjectsSecurityDescriptor()
on giving rights?
I think that this "names" are aliases for system values (numbers).
Any solution?

Greetings!
I am developing in C++ using MS Visual Studio 2008.
Code for our main application is contained in about 25 separate projects in our main workspace. In addition, we have a few other projects in that workspace because they use some of the same DLLs. I am working on a couple of DLLs that will provide data access services for a major upgrade to the application expected in a few months. I have a small test application for my new DLLs.
The test application and the new DLLs are not in the dependency list for our major application.
I just downloaded code for the major application from source control, set the major application to be the startup project, and rebuilt it. The test application and the new DLLs got built along with everything else!
If VS 2008 does not listen to a project's dependency list, how does it decide which files to compile? Or does the startup project not control what gets built when a user presses F6?
Thank you very much.

Any files was modified will be rebuilt. Other files will not be compiled
There is one thing (happened to me before) you need to check the computer date and time setting is current or not. If not, the VS will build everything in the project every time you try to compile it.

My problem is not that everything in the project gets rebuilt. My problem is that everything in the WORKSPACE is being rebuilt. My main application does not depend on my two new DLLs or my test project. Nonetheless, the three new projects are being built, and I don't know why. Is it because I am using the F6 key to trigger the build, rather than right-clicking on my main project and clicking "Build"?

Are you modifying header files that are included in many files? Then the files that include the header must also be recompiled. You would get memory errors otherwise with MSVC++...

When you downloaded the files from source control, did any of the OBJ, EXE, or DLL files exist? If not, a rebuild would have been needed.
Consider:
CPP --[compile]--> OBJ --[link]--> DLL
or
CPP --[compile]--> OBJ --[link]--> EXE
If any file is newer than the file to its right, a rebuild will occur. The first time you pulled everything from source control, a rebuild would have been expected.

Allow me to emphasize: My problem is related to the WORKSPACE, not to the project. When a project is built, all projects it depends on will be checked first, according to the logic given in the last post. And any projects those projects depend on will be built before them. I understand all of that.
What I am seeing is files being compiled (and throwing errors) when those files are not included in the project I am building, or any projects that project depends on in any way, directly or indirectly. The files are included in the workspace that contains my target project, but they are not included in the target project. I do not understand why files not in or related to the project file are being built.

I have had problems like that after inconsistent timestamps. From my experience the whole process has many subtleties. For instance, if an Obj File gets Rebuilt successfully, it will not nescessarily replace the existing Obj File, if the Existing one has a later Date Stamp, and is the same, but 'May' do so, if it is different. The whole system tends to become totally confused when it finds that time mooved back.
I have seen this type of behaviour where the Source Control Time Stamps are effectively generated by the Local User's Computer.
The Good News is, that if left to it'sw own device, and, if ALL computers are synchronised, it normally resolves within a couple of weeks, all by itself.
Success.

I what to draw a XOR box on a memory DIB,so:
HDC hdc = CreateCompatibleDC(0);// create a DC
HBITMAP hmap=CreateDIBSection(hdc,(BITMAPINFO*)(&bmih),DIB_RGB_COLORS,(void**)(&pBits),NULL,NULL);// create a DIB
SelectObject(hdc,hmap);// select DIB to DC
TextOut(hdc,l,t,"Test String",12);// Draw something
SetROP2(hdc,R2_XORPEN);// set mix mode
Rectangle(hdc,l,t,r,b);// draw box with xor pen,but it not work
and I also test this:
PatBlt(hdc,b,t,w,h,DSTINVERT);// it not work too
Can somebody tell me why?
|

How are you validating that it doesn't work?
|
|
|
|

Thank you for reply!
But I can't see result by the function SetROP2() with XOR mix mode.
I think it must not work well on a memory DC or DIB Section.
The color box I draw, covered rectangle with the pen color.
Thanks again

While it's not a complete answer for you, when debugging this sort of stuff, I cannot exagerate the usefulness of:
Image Viewer Utility[^]
It's an oldie but goldie article, regularly kept up to date by PJ Arends, an elder god of CP.
I would also look at R2_NOT for a real answer.

Thank you reply me
I agree with you,the article is good,but I can't draw lessons from it.
I'm using GDI functions now.
Though MFC functions can resolve my doubts,but far away water can't quench thirst nearby
I think SetROP2 not work well on memory DIB DC,I have tested more time,but none successed,the box I draw just covered the map

Can't get the 'aha, this is the error in your code' but have some questions/remarks:
You use CreateDIBSection() but you could use CreateCompatibleBitmap() also. Did you try that?
It seems there's no pen selected in your DC..
Rozis
|
|
|
|
|
I'm sure have selected a pen,and the cover box's color is same with the pen's color.
CreateCompatibleBitmap() may be a good idea,but it seems that function is not simple to create bitmap in a memory dc.
Thanks Rozis,I'll try it later.
|
|
|
|
|
To help you with that one try something like this:
hMemDC:=CreateCompatibleDC(hdc)
hbitmap:=CreatecompatibleBitmap(hdc,w,h)
hold:=SelectObject(hMemDC,hBitmap)
...
hdc is the DC to your screen
w is width, h is height of the bitmap
And, could you try R2_NOT ??
Good luck
Rozis

I have an OSI model application that receives packets from datalink (via TCP sockets) examines it and send it to network layer to extract the socket information and packet type, etc. and sends to transport layer and then to application layer to send it to another application again via TCP socket for responses.
in my application when a socket goes down, I send a message from datalink to manager class that watches all 4 layers to notify the manager class for socket disconnection and manager class makes a message to send to application layer to notify it to stop receiving messages from 2nd application till the datalink socket is up again. sometimes the socket goes up and down very quickly like there is a glitch for 2-3 sec and in this case I don't want to report any socket disconnection to application layer. to summerize:
in datalink layer:
Socket 1 is down -> send socket status to manager class, Manager class should start a timer and if within 15 seconds the status of the socket remained the same, make the message for socket 1 and send it to application layer. (if the status changed to down and up within 15 seconds do not send any message to application layer)
the problem is my application is always sending and receiving messages and can't pause for a period of time.
How can I add this timer just for the socket down/up message that wouldn't trigger other application's process?
Thanks,
Chan
