Hi,
I have an application which uses 3 custom DLL. I want to create an additional DLL with method which sets the path of the temporary files created (from the application as well as the other DLLs) to a specified path rather than the system temp file path. If this method of the new DLL is not called in the application, the application can use the system temp path for creating temporary files.
I tried using '_putenv()' for setting the environment variable 'TMP' with the new path for temp files, in my new DLL and then calling it from my application. But this does not change the path where the temp files from the DLL are created. It is affecting only the temporary files created from the application. I use the GetTempPath() API to get the temp path.
Is there any other method to change the temporary file path. I need the new temp path to affect the methods of all the DLLs.
Pls help.
Thanks
Vini

The only way I know of is to update the values in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment key.

If you are using MFC, check out the CRecordset and CDatabase classes.

Hi,
If you are using MFC, then u can use the following code to connect to access database.
<code>
BOOL CMyDatabaseTesting::ConnectToDatabase()
{
if(!m_pdb)
m_pdb = new CDatabase;
CString StrConnectString;
try
{
//Two Methods of connecting
//1. Through the database path as described below
//2. Using DSN, i.e, "DSN=szDSN;UID=szUsername;PWD=szPassword;
StrConnectString.Format("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=%s;UID=%s;PWD=%s",strDBPath/*Contains the database path*/, "Admin",szPassword/*Password of database (fi any)*/);
m_pdb->OpenEx(StrConnectString,CDatabase::noOdbcDialog);
}
catch(CDBException *e)
{
if(e->m_strError.Find("Login failed") != -1)
{
MessageBox(0, e->m_strError, "Error1", MB_OK);
return FALSE;
}
else if((e->m_strError.Find("Server user id") != -1)
&& (e->m_strError.Find("is not a valid user in database") != -1))
{
MessageBox(0, e->m_strError, "Error2", MB_OK);
return FALSE;
}
else if(e->m_strError.Find("Data source name not found and no default driver specified") != -1)
{
MessageBox(0, e->m_strError, "Error3", MB_OK);
e->Delete();
if(m_pdb)
{
if(m_pdb->IsOpen())
m_pdb->Close();
delete m_pdb;
m_pdb = NULL;
}
return FALSE;
}
else
{
//Database related error
MessageBox(0, e->m_strError, "Database Error", MB_OK);
return FALSE;
}
if(m_pdb)
{
if(m_pdb->IsOpen())
m_pdb->Close();
delete m_pdb;
m_pdb = NULL;
}
e->Delete();
return FALSE;
}
return TRUE;
}
</code>
Where m_pdb is a pointer to CDatabase. Also don't forget to include <afxdb.h> in stdafx.h file. That's it, you are connect to the database.
Enjoy...

Please help me.
Thank you very much.

Hi Merit
i think you need some utility that update your application.
i too created same,for me this work is done by Installer.
actually what the installer do it check wheather our application is running or not,if it running it set the flag to OS to update new appliaction on restart or if it not running it update it.
the insatller i used is INNO setup ,it is freeware go and download from

Hi all,
As the title, i want to execute command line in a remote machine. For example, i have two machines (P1, P2). Let consider P1 as the local machine (caller) and P2 as remote machine (execute here). Now i develop a application that allow user on P1 run, then put the cmd (e.x: net send P1 "Hello"). Send the message to P2 via tcp sock stream, then execute the cmd line parsed by P2 (it means in P2, open Start->Run->put net send P1 "Hello" and then P1 will receive "Hello" message from P2).
Anyone who know the way to do that, please show me.
P/S: My english not well as i want to described the problem.

[b]Net Send[/b] is the internal command provide by windows networking.
for executing command line in a remote machine,you need a special application to sit at remote machine which handle you request and execute the files.
there one example similiar to your need in section MFC/VC++-->services

You want to use ssh for this. There are other tools, but most of them are insecure.
http://www.ssh.com/
http://www.openssh.com/windows.html
(also http://www.openssh.org/)
Openssh is from the same people who brough openBSD. I you haven't heard, these are people who are extreemly good programs, and extreemly paranoid about security. They are also [censered]. They don't even attempt to be reasonable. It is free, and you can trust it to be secure (though in fact openssh gets the "credit" for the only hole in openBSD in 8 years).
ssh is the comercial version. I haven't used it myself, but the only bad thing I've heard about it is that you have to pay for it. OTOH they will also help you if there are problems.
You will have to read the book to configure either. The task is non-trivial. Using anything else on the internet is stupid. Even on a seperate internal network you are better off with ssh than anything else.

This sounds like a job for RPC. In short, it is a powerful and secure interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism that enables data exchange and invocation of functionality residing in a different process. That different process can be on the same machine, or another machine on the LAN.

Yep, something like that David Crow. I had found a application which allow me to cmd in remote machine. But (alway but), the application required authenticated for the session of remote execute cmd. That's not my reached my expectation.
Let see the following scenario: I have a remote IP, connect to it via socket, and then i send the application to it. After all, send a message via socket to tell the remote system execute my application. That all!
Sound like the blaster mechanism right?
Have you got any idea?

Hello, is there anybody who can help me.
In my main program I have declared a fonction 'OnMyMessage'
In my .h file : afx_msg LRESULT OnMyMessage(WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam);
In my .cpp file :
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CPatchingMPEG2Dlg, CDialog)
ON_MESSAGE(WM_USER+1, OnMyMessage)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
...
LRESULT CPatchingMPEG2Dlg::OnMyMessage(WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
{
EditSCR.SetWindowText(strOut);
strOut.Format("TimeCode %X",wparam);
return TRUE;
}
I pass the m_hwnd variable to another processus (a directshow filter) where I post a value to my main window by :
PostMessage(MYWINDOW, WM_USER+1, TimeCode, 0 );
My problem is that I have to write 2 times this instruction so that my function 'OnMyMessage' start. If I write only one PostMessage i get nothing !
Can you please help me about this point ?
I thank you very much for your help and wish you a nice day !

It looks like you need to switch these two statements around.

Hello David,

Thank you,

I mean switch the two statements around. Swap them. Have one trade places with the other.

Hello again,
these two instructions are in the right place (inside my function called by a personal window message). If I swap them I will get an error.
Do I understand well what you mean ?
see you !

What sort of error (compiler, linker, assertion, exception)?
Unless strOut is being assigned a value in some other location, the first time OnMyMessage() is called, EditSCR.SetWindowText(strOut) will set the control's text to nothing (i.e., empty). The second time OnMyMessage() is called, strOut will have a value because strOut.Format("TimeCode %X",wparam) has given it one. Make sense?

How about this:
for (int x = 0; x < 10; x++)
{
str.Format("%d", x + 1);
m_listcontrol.InsertItem(x, str);
}

Can somebody help ?
Requirement :
1) A simple dialog based MFC proj which hides itself when a hot key is pressed. For EG : Ctrl + Alt + F8. and unhides itself when the same hot key is pressed again. [the same hotkey is used to HIDE / UNHIDE itself.]
2) Must be a single process, no service or other threads is running to listen to the keystroke except this application ]
Assumption :
1) The hot key is unique in the system. [ no conflicts with any running application or services ]
I am able to hide the window, but I am not able to unhide it as this application is no longer the active application.
Thanks,
JSM

I think you need to install a keyboard hook for this. I've not tried it but I think it will still intercept keystrokes even while the application's window is hidden.
