MOUNT POINTS!! URagavSouth22-Sep-05 1:56 URagavSouth 22-Sep-05 1:56  Hi, Am using WMI to collect the mount point details.Can anyone suggest me a WMI class that associates Volume GUID of a mount point to the disk number where it resides?

URagavSouth22-Sep-05 2:39 URagavSouth 22-Sep-05 2:39  Hi, Thnx .am actually using that class....From that class,I can get the directory name where teh mount point is established and its Volume GUID...Now I need a mapping between this Volume GUID and the disk number where that mount point resides...

Believing what he read made him mad" -George Bernard Shaw conflict in windows focus - float menu involved Laffis22-Sep-05 1:39 Laffis 22-Sep-05 1:39  (The title may not be very appropriate to summarise the problem..) 1) I have an little application that checks some stuff on timer. If something occurs, it creates a topmost dialogbox and display certain info (let's call it MyAlarmBox). 2) a control in the application can create a float menu if user R-clicks the mouse.(I use TrackPopupMenu) Usually everythings works fine. But in the following circumstance: 1) user R-clicks the control to get the float menu. 2) before user selects a command, the MyAlarmBox goes off. I end up with the MyAlarmBox on top being not able to receive any mouse click. The workaround is to click any non-this-window area, then come back clicking on the dialog box, the dialog box 'comes alive' again. In short, the float menu and the dialog box are in conflict -- the float menu grabs the 'focus' (this may not be the correct word, please correct me if you could) and does not release it to the newly popped-up dialog box. Anyone can help me solve this???... Re: conflict in windows focus - float menu involved Steen Krogsgaard22-Sep-05 1:59 Steen Krogsgaard 22-Sep-05 1:59  The optimal solution would be to cancel the popup menu when the dialog is displayed, but I cannot find any way of cancelling a menu from the app. Instead, I would block the display of the dialog while you're tracking the menu. <br /> // in response to right clicl<br /> bTracking = TRUE;<br /> cmd = TrackPopupMenu(...);<br /> bTracking = FALSE;<br /> <br /> <br /> // in OnTimer:<br /> if (!bTracking)<br /> dlg.DoModal(...)<br /> Cheers Steen.

That works. At first I want to find a way to cancel the popmenu but just could not. I was thinking to use event synchronisation (menu and dlg are in different threads) but this seems a simpler solution. It will still be the best way to cancel the menu, because for my case I cannot permanently block the alarm dialog (the user may just pop up the float menu then get distracted, leaving the menu floating there for a long period of time). I am thinking to wait for a few seconds and fire the dialog anyway (the alarm dialog plays sound/music on creating) so that if the user is nearby he/she will be alerted. But so far, I will have to go with the solution you suggested. Thx again pal... Re: conflict in windows focus - float menu involved Steen Krogsgaard22-Sep-05 2:39 Steen Krogsgaard 22-Sep-05 2:39  Hmmm... does this mean the you display UI stuff from two threads? I'm no expert on multithreading, but according to Joseph Newcomer (http://www.flounder.com/workerthreads.htm[^] (who seems to be an expert) you should never ever touch the UI from a worker thread. Instead, you should post a message from the worker thread to the main thread and have the main (UI) thread display the dialog. If you for some reason don't want to change your design you should at least protect the access to the bool variable with a mutex (see http://www.flounder.com/semaphores.htm[^]) Cheers Steen.

If not use the right fc in the sprintf family. as to the variant, bstr type, obviousely it is not too early for you to know -- if you are into com stuff, you will know.

You may come across: atoi, atof, atol, _itoa, _itow, ltoa, ltow, strod, strol, stroul, _ultoa, _wtoi, _wtol, _ultow. Lots of conversion functions for you!

If you are using Windows XP, then there are two built-in CD-burning APIs. The simplest one is ICDBurn. If you need more control, use IMAPI (also in XP). Else, I suggest you buy a Nero license and use the Nero API/SDK (which is free to download and use). It might be a bit complex, but there are a lot of samples out there, just Google for them. I use the Nero API/SDK for burning data-CD's and DVD's for a customers software and it works very, very well. -- modified at 7:58 Thursday 22nd September, 2005 Re: CD writing in VC kk.tvm22-Sep-05 1:59 kk.tvm 22-Sep-05 1:59  thanx for ur information by - KK - Re: CD writing in VC Nilesh K.22-Sep-05 2:11 Nilesh K. 22-Sep-05 2:11  Maybe you can try with NeroAPI[^] <bold>- Nilesh <italics>"Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman.
