I'm using Visual Studio 6.0 under Windows Server 2008 besides i have MSV2005 installed too. so maybe it's due to multiple IDE Framework.

But when i create a new blank ATL COM project and i compile it then Try to register the DLL some times it works but when i add a new ATL Object it don't wanna go.

As u said may be i have to reinstall my OS and use one MVS.

"s but when i add a new ATL Object it don't wanna go. " looks like dll hell.

You better get rid of the good old VS 6 Cry | :((

Deinstall both VS and reinstall only VS2005.

Maybe ask on the COM[^] message board too, in case you haven't yet.

Ok here some news,

i compiled my project under wind2003 with MVS6.0 only installed and it works, no error message like Error DllServer. All is green and i'm happy Blush | :O

.

But may be the question how could we fix the prob of DllRegister under a PC with more than 1 MVS installed. Sniff | :^)

win32 service crashing in vista

hi,
i am having a service running in vista. it captures the information of the USB devices that are being used in the system.
i am registering for device notification when starting the service using the RegisterDeviceNotification API, however the service is crashing when i am calling UnregisterDeviceNotification API

Pasting the piece of code below....if needed i would also give the values out of debugging.
please could i get some help or hints as to why my service is crashing when i am calling UnregisterDeviceNotification ?

DWORD WINAPI service_ctrl(DWORD dwCtrlCode,DWORD dwEventType, LPVOID lpEventData, LPVOID lpContext) 
{
	PDEV_BROADCAST_HDR  head = (PDEV_BROADCAST_HDR )lpEventData;

	switch (dwCtrlCode) 
	{
	case SERVICE_CONTROL_DEVICEEVENT: 
		if (dwEventType == DBT_DEVICEQUERYREMOVE)
		{
			if(head->dbch_devicetype == DBT_DEVTYP_HANDLE)
			{	
				PDEV_BROADCAST_HANDLE  db = (PDEV_BROADCAST_HANDLE) head;
				DebugLog("Remove Query");


				ht_pIter = handleThread.find(db->dbch_handle);
				if ( ht_pIter == handleThread.end( ) )
					DebugLog("cannot find Thread ID using Handle Value ");
				else
				{

					killThreadFunc(ht_pIter->second.threadHandle,ht_pIter->second.threadID);
					DebugLog("after killThreadFunc");
					if(!CloseHandle(db->dbch_handle))
					{

						DebugLog("Problem in Closing Directory Handle.");
					}

					char error[50] = {0};
					if(!UnregisterDeviceNotification(*ht_pIter->second.devNotify))
					{
						DebugLog("Problem in Unregistering Device notification.");
						sprintf(error,"Error Code returned is %d",GetLastError());
						DebugLog(error);					

					}

					handleThread.erase(db->dbch_handle);

					//SetEvent(hLogTrigger);
					DebugLog("Thread Terminate Successful");
				}

			}
			return NO_ERROR;
		}//end if DEVICEQUERYREMOVE
		break;
	}
}

Why the dereference of the structure field? *ht_pIter->second.devNotify looks a bit suspect - generally you deal with handles not pointers to handles.

...and the errors are not in my code

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\atlmfc\include\afxwin2.inl(362): error C2039: 'NotifyWinEvent' : is not a member of '`global namespace''

I do not call NotifyWinEvent directly. I have tried to #ifdef out most of the code but still get this error. Module compiles fine in VC++6.0 release/debug, VS2005 release/debug win32/x64, VS2010 debug win32/x64, but fails as above in VS2010 release win32/x64.

I am using default settings to build everything.

I had a series of #ifdef that were somehow impeding the compilation, There must be a conflict, but it does not explain differences between release and debug. Disabling these, as below, fixes the problem

#if 0

#ifndef WINVER
#define WINVER 0x0400
#endif

// Allow use of features specific to Windows NT 4 or later.

You can issue the IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_MEDIA_TYPES_EX to differentiate.
Here is an example code:

//////////////////////////////////////////

DWORD dwOutBytes;
HANDLE hDevice = CreateFile(_T("\\\\.\\A:"), GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);

if (hDevice != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
    DEVICE_MEDIA_INFO dmi;
    DeviceIoControl(hDevice,
                    IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_MEDIA_TYPES_EX,
                    NULL, 0,
                    &dmi, sizeof(dmi),
                    dwOutBytes,
                    NULL);

    if ((MEDIA_TYPE)dmi.RemovableDiskInfo.MediaType == RemovableMedia)
    {
        //USB disk
    }
    else
    {
        //Floppy
    }
}

CloseHandle(hDevice);

Hope it is useful to you.

Working is a happy thing!

Only by reading the input keys, **(worm) will not move, for that you need to add some code here

if (arrow_keys()==75)
   {
      // worm moving logic will be here
   }

if i understood it correctly, your problem is that, you are unable to scan the keys Right??.
i dont think getch will do for you here in this context.
there is some other mechanism to get the key code here.
let me refer my backups and let you know.
parallelly, you can also try it.

Suggestion to the members:
Please prefix your main thread subject with [SOLVED] if it is solved.

Possibly because not every logic path has a return value. If the first getch() returns a non-zero value, the while() loop breaks and arrow_keys() will return what?
