Hi all,

When i try to query MsysObjects table following error is caught(try-catch).

[B]Database error: Too few parameters.Expected 2.[/B]

These are the two lines used to run the SQL query in vc++.

// Build the SQL statement
SqlString = "SELECT Name FROM MSysObjects where type = 1 AND (Left([Name],4) <> \"Msys\") AND (Left([Name],1) <> \"~\")";
// Execute the query
recset.Open(CRecordset::forwardOnly,SqlString,CRecordset::readOnly);

I am using CDatabase class.

Please Help!

Regards,
Ankush Mehta

Thanks a lot Subramaniyam . it works, just a little modification is required:

SqlString ="SELECT Name FROM MSysObjects WHERE type = 1 AND((Left([Name],4) <> \'MSys\')AND(Left([Name],1) <> \'~\'))";

I have a connected a embedded device with its own TCP/IP stack
which is use to communcate to my application,
in the vc++ i have used the winsock objects .

due to some or the other reasion there are erors like
TCP DUMP or TCP ACK LOST or TCP KEPT ALIVE ,
my application gives some assertions which i cannot track back.
Is there any way to hand this erros by my appliacation

I want individual thread for a socket waiting for connection ,
have done it by CThread call .

Is there any way to know that is my socket alive or not .

What is the force full way to close a socket
Shutdown(socket ,0) or Close(socket)

Shutdown doesnot closes the Socket,resources attached to this
Socket are not freed.For this u have to use the Close,It is
to disable sends and/or receives on the socket.

Close-: it releases the socket descriptor, so that further references to it will fail with the error WSAENOTSOCK

to check if the thread is alive or not :

DWORD dwExitcode;
::GetExitCodeThread(cwt->m_hThread,&dwExitcode);
if(dwExitcode==STILL_ACTIVE)
{
bla..bla..
}

And is there any fuctino that lets me know that what is the

Hi, I want to put check message AfxMessageBox() immediately before Cwnd is closed. When I use 'OnClose() method', it shows AfxMessageBox and closed. However the application.exe is running in the windows. ir can be seen from Ctr+Alt+Del. When I use 'OnDestroy() method' it doesn't show AfxMEssageBox, because the window is already closed. However The Application is killed, it dosen't appear in the task manager. I want to learn How can I do these two things together. I want to check the some variable and show message before window closing and providing application.exe doesn't appear in the task manager.

If you want to show a box to stop (or not) a closing a window you can use PreTranslateMessage and look for the message WM_CLOSE.
So you can STOP this message (after the responce of the messagebox)

A little Correction, When a application close from the taskmgr, Windows doesn't send WM_CLOSE/WM_QUIT to the Application.. its simply kill it.

Is there anyway to handle the forced exit of an application by task manager?[^]

From TaskManager - Do not want anyone end task an App./Pross

Hi There.

Is there any way, I can stop a user to end task an application/Process running, from Task Manager.

Lets say I have a simple application, i.e., HelloWorld. I do not want any user to end task that application from Task manager.

Another Query:
Is it possible to hide an application/process from Task Manager?

Thanks and Regards.
PanB Smile | :)

Upto Window OS 2000, you can make service to stop user from killing it from Taskmgr.. but Xp and Upward any thing can be closed from taskmgr

Yes.. Hook the NT dll..

Hi Alok.

Thanks for the reply and time.
Actually, I am working on WinXP.

Let me explain my problem in detail.

Lets say I have 2 executables.... a.exe and b.exe.
From a.exe, I am launching my another application b.exe.
i.e., wxExecute(modulePath, wxEXEC_ASYNC, NULL);
In modulePath, I am providing the string to launch b.exe.

Now, both of these applications are running as a stand alone process. But a.exe is a parent and b.exe a child process.

Now at this stage, if a user Kills a.exe from Task Manager, b.exe still run as a stand alone application.

My Requirement.

1. User should not be able to end task a.exe
----1st approach - I may hide it.
----2ns approach - User should not have previledge to kill it.

2. Id user end task a.exe, then b.exe should also be killed automatically.

If you can help, with any of the above appraoches, it will be great.

Thanks for your time and support.
Regards
PanB

IMHO 1 St Approach will be better, here is link for hiding process from taskmgr,
http://www.codeproject.com/system/Paladin.asp[^]

PanB wrote:

b.exe should check that a.exe is running or not at regular interval (use WM_TIMER and FindWindow), if b.exe don't find a.exe in process list (for this Check out EnumProcess api that will enumerate current system process list for you), it should stop itself or exit...I have used this approach in app monitoring program and its work fine for me till now. (you can make a seprate thread for monitoring in the b.exe).

if you have any suggestion apart from that.. please do share Smile | :)

Alok.

Actually you are right.
I was also in touch with other developers in relation to the same.

Other option I was planning to implement was API hooking but that "virusy" way to do things.

Thanks for your support and time.

Questions:
Do you have any sample code to implement the solution. Or just explain the steps I need to follow to implement the same.

Thanks and Best Regards.

How about this.

Duplicate your A.EXE process handle and give the copy 'inheritable' permissions before starting the child process. Pass the handle's value to the child process. Then the child can check the duplicated parent process handle to see if it is signaled to detect that the parent process has exited.

Else, have the child just 'open' the parent process to see if it is running, and use that opened handle to watch for it being signaled.

I can't believe you recommended FindWindow, you should know better than that WTF | :WTF:
