Hello,
I have to prevent Windows 7 from entering Hibernate mode.
Preventing it to enter SLEEP mode was done by
"SetThreadExecutionState(ES_CONTINUOUS |ES_AWAYMODE_REQUIRED|ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED|ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED);"
but this code doesn't stop windows from entering Hibernation.
what can be done to achieve the above..??

Actually this looks more like preventing the computer from ever leaving it again!

I'm sure you have a good reason, but if a user has configured the computer TO use hibernation, why would you want to circumvent that?

Kiosk software would be one such example.

Yes, you would most definitely not want a kiosk to hibernate. But I don't see how that relates to the OP's request. I understood it to mean he wanted to keep a machine, that is configured TO hibernate, FROM hibernating. A kiosk does not fit that description.

Well, it would certainly make deployment easier... Just load the kiosk software, when running, it makes sure the computer settings don't interrupt it, when not running...works as a regular computer.

the problem arises that the device i m working with stops responding..
so as my client requires this functionality to continue altogether when the system resumes from hibernate.. or he asked that the system should not go into hibernate.. since there is nothing we can do with the device hence stopping the windows from entering hibernate was the best option..

Hi,
Are you making a single call to the SetThreadExecutionState function[^]? The NT kernel tracks how long the user has been idle... by keeping track of the last time the mouse/keyboard has been used or last time it recieved any type of HID input.
When you make that call to SetThreadExecutionState[^]... all it does it set the idle time back to zero. You need to call it over and over again to continuously reset the user idle-count.
I recommend the following:
1.) Make your call to SetThreadExecutionState[^].
2.) Then use the the CallNtPowerInformation function[^] with the SystemPowerInformation index and populate a SYSTEM_POWER_INFORMATION structure[^].
3.) Read the unsigned long SYSTEM_POWER_INFORMATION.TimeRemaining which represents seconds remaining before the user is considered idle and save it.
4.) Begin a window,thread or multimedia timer with a period less than the TimeRemaining you obtained in the previous step.
5.) When your timer fires... call the SetThreadExecutionState function[^] again.
Laptop manufacturers have been known to write device drivers that interfere with preventing hibernation from usermode so your mileage may vary. Preventing hibernation from usermode could be considered a hostile act...
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

That's the client side requirement so this wont be a hostile act..
and this code wont allow window to any state.. system will be continuously ON in windows 7

can't you just disable hibernation from the OS's power settings ?
seems cleaner than trying to do it from an application.

Juts disable it by schemes

how we can change array length in c and c++?
for example: dose the programmer have to dispose the allocated memory and reallocate a new space in memory or the own language do this?
thanks if gimme a good document about it.
I need the answer in design programming language scope.
thanks so much.

Yes.
See here[^] for details about the C++ language.

In C programming language:
If you allocate the array on the stack then you cannot change its size.
On the other hand, if you allocate an array on the heap (using, for instance malloc) then you may change the size calling realloc.
All the above rules hold for C++. However you usually use the new operator for allocating arrays on the heap and new lacks of a reallocating mechanism. Anyway C++ provides, via the STL library, containers[^] that take care about memory reallocation.

Hey man, if it is Microsoft then it is 'the standard'!

The first thing I thought of was realloc(), but then I got a twinge in my side and remembered this.
If you are using C++, consider a container. Your friends will thank you for it.

Unfortunaltely C/C++ does not allow programmer to use something similar to Delphi's setlength procedure, so that array once set length cannot be resized. When u want to resize, u must declare new array with bigger size, copy elements from old to new, delete old array. So therefore STL has some classes-containers, most often used by me is a list (from #include (list))
Read about list, vector, map, check Google

hello
what is difference between these assigning values for "a" and "b" ?
class c1{
int a;
int b;
c1():b(0){
a=3;
}
}
thanks a lot
|

b is assigned first, since class initialising is executed before the constructor body. This is also the only place where you can assign a value to a non-static const or reference member variable.

hi there
can someone say what is the answer of this piece of code
by the way it is so important that why this answer made by the code in Programming language's scope
tnx
union U{
struct S{
shortint x;
shortint y;
}
float f;
long l;
}u1;
u1.S.x=3;
u1.s.y=4;
cout<<f;
cout<<l;
|

The answers will most likely be garbage as the code refers to three different types in the same piece of memory. The float and long values will not have been initialised properly.
