That is completely incomprehensible, so I'll have to go for a very wild guess.
If you make a shortcut file containing a URL (e.g. by dragging the content of the address bar from a browser to the desktop), then you get what is basically a text file; the second line contains
URL=the URL your browser was showing at the time
so some simple read-string-from-file operations can give you the URL string.

Exactly right Luc. However, OP had a .lnk file which contained a URL as the link rather than a file path, but was still not in URL shortcut format, and could not be read via the IShellLink interface. The issue is in the Delphi forum, and I'm not sure why he posted the above message as it still does not contain a resolution as far as I can tell.

OK, I now have read some of that Delphi thread, seems like a bit of a scatterbrain.
BTW, it seems an LNK file isn't text, are you aware of this?

Yes, and that is the problem. A URL link (correctly constructed) is a text file and can be read easily. A .lnk file uses some internal Microsoft (not published) structure, and you can only access its content through the IShellLink interface. The file that the OP has is a 'normal' .lnk file but its path contains a URL, which is illegal. So, you cannot read it as a text file and the IShellLink functions will not give you access to its contents either. Catch 22.

Delete the illegal file and move on, I'd say.

The PostQuitMessage function posts a WM_QUIT message to the threads message queue and returns immediately; the function simply indicates to the system that the thread is requesting to quit at some time in the future.
I want to quit my application so that the application ends immediately and does not go beyond that point. When using the PostQuitMessage(0) the application continues after that line and stops after executing a few functions.
Kindly provide suggestions.

TerminateProcess[^], Though it is not a good suggestion to use this, this might just fit your need here perfectly.

You may wish to use exit()[^].

why not just wait for the thread to quit ?
if (needToQuit)
{
PostQuitMessage
WaitForSingleObject(threadHandle)
quit the main app
}

If you need to quit the application, use Richard's advice, if you need to quit a thread, use TerminateThread (a couple of people suggested) but be aware that doing that creates memory leaks as the threads working memory is not properly deallocated... so you shouldn't do the operation very often and only when its absolutely necessary, in most cases, you can creatively code a solution that allows a thread to properly shutdown... for example if the thread is processing some data, then you can have a control variable that'll stop the processing (within the thread) until WM_QUIT message is processed.

Hi, this is the code:
case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
pt.x = LOWORD(lParam);
pt.y = HIWORD(lParam);
InvalidateRect(hWnd,NULL,TRUE);
break;
case WM_PAINT:
hdc = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
memDC = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc);
SelectObject(memDC,hbmp);
GetObject(bmp, sizeof(bm), &bm);
GetClientRect(hWnd,&rcc);
StretchBlt(hdc,
0,0, rcc.right,rcc.bottom,
memDC,
0,0,bm.bmWidth, bm.bmHeight,
SRCCOPY);
MoveToEx(hdc, pt.x , 0 , NULL);
LineTo(hdc, pt.x, rcc.bottom);
MoveToEx(hdc, 0, pt.y, NULL);
LineTo(hdc, rcc.right, pt.y);
how can i draw lines on mouse move without repainting the background bitmap? There's a way to "fix" the bitmap on background and repaint only lines?
|
|
|
|
|
InvalidateRect(hWnd,NULL,TRUE);
The third parameter tells the system whether to erase the background on the next call to BeginPaint(); change it to FALSE to prevent the erase. You can also trap the WM_ERASEBKGND message and provide your own code to redraw the background however you like.
