if it's a dialog app, shouldn't it be:
if(dlg.DoModal == IDOK)<br />
else<br />

When I make a main window fullscreened, the taskbar sometimes won't hide itself under my window. It does that arbitrarily it seems. 
I'm doing this right now:
ModifyStyle(WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, 0);
ShowWindow(SW_MAXIMIZE); Is there a better way to make a window fullscreened?

I have seen similar problems with XP. Try Start->Run->Accessabilty Wizard. Just hit next on all questions. Restart you program. Is the problem still there?

Hello,
I need to show 2 dialog window and I need to show them side by side how can I do that?
|
|
|
|
|
You've not privided enough information to generate a specific answer. For example, who owns each of the two dialog boxes? Will both need to be active at the same time (i.e., how does the modality of one affect the modality of other)?

Hi,
I just want to execute an .exe program already read by myself in memory, say:
:
uchar *buf = (uchar*)malloc(file-byte-size);
FILE *fp = fopen("test.exe", "rb");
fread(buf, 1, file-byte-size, fp);
//  do some specific codes here
run-exe-image(buf); // This is what I want
:
Seemingly, I could't find any API function so far to do this.
All execution functions require .exe file name. (e.g. CreateProcess, ShellExecute, spawn..., exec..., what else?)
I have a need to modify some data in the binary image on the fly without using external parameter file nor modified version of the .exe in temporary folder because of security reasons.
Could someone point me out or lead to links?
Thanks in advance.

Probably because one does not exist. This question has been asked many times over the years, and to date, I've never heard of a solution. Good luck.

then you didn't read carefully. I'm sure I've already given an answer to this question. It is possible!
You need to build a custom PE loader. There is one at http://mitglied.lycos.de/yoda2k/[^].
Have a look at section "Code Snippets", the code is called "InConEx 1.0".
Don't try it, just do it!

If it works and solve the OP's problem, then great.

i have an app I wrote that stores files in bytes in a SQL Server database. When the user chooses to open one, my program creates a folder in the current directory of my app called 'temp' then I write the bytes to a file and do a shellexecute. It's seamless and very fast. When my app closes, I have a CleanTempFiles() function that goes through that directory and deletes all the files. This may not be what you wanteed, but that's the best a novice like myself can do.;)

Thanks for your reply.
I often do the same kind of things, but this time I can't make use of a temporary file creation as I noted.
Anyway, thanks.

I posted a similar query a month ago on this forum, and got the same response. So far, I am unable to solve the problem. I am looking for PE headers stuff. If you (or anyone) are able to run the exe image from memory, then please guide me in right direction.

Hi, all
Let me post the same topic again.
Last day (for me), Alex indicated me the exact way to execute an .exe in memory buffer. (Also thanx to the author, yoda.)
After a few digging, I found I can't take the way unfortunately because it's only applied for an .exe that has "Relocation Information" included, while my ones do not.
Does anyone have alternatives?
Thanks again, in advance.

Does any1 have any expiriance with shareware programming. I'm especially interested in some sort of SERIAL NUMBER PROTECTION. Any tutorials or source examples to be seen?
Tnx for an answer.

The best way to do shareware is always supply the user with an executable that is not fully functional at all, such as, some features are disabled in the code already.
If you use a serial number or an evaluation period, you need to go to very great lengths in protecting the application from hacking or date changes. While this is continous struggle as serial number generators and BIOS date modifiers are released by underground groups, it will eventually always end up as a victory for the underground. A human cannot make so good a protection that another human couldn't break it.
So, use two builds. The first one is the evaluation version, and will pop up a "Not supported in evaluation" message box, and the other build is a sales version, which you will send to the customer after he/she has paid the price. Of course, this method doesn't prevent the customer from copying the full software to his/her friends, but neither does a serial number system.
The best way to protect a software for single-machine use is to generate a checksum from the processor and motherboard serial numbers and then register this into your company's database when the program is first ran. If this registration fails, the software will not run. An alternative is to use a serial number system that is sent to you for validation. If the validation is not done, the software won't run either. This naturally assumes a network connection, but how many PCs are not connected into a network of some kind these days ?

yes ok, but our company already supplies software (in question) and it is already based on serial number protection. What I wanna do is an automatic upgrade system based on serials. My app must check the server for new version and then update it. Our company makes bussines on annual fees. So fro example when a company does not pay 4 the nexgt year we just remove their encripted serial number from the server. They can still download it from out ftp but the program must not work.

Always avoid to build software with serial checks, it is easy for crackers to hack it!
If you want to code a shareware then I propose that you put some features of the software in #ifdef blocks and undefine them when compiling the shareware. So crackers won't be able to reenable the features.
Don't try it, just do it!

I have to disagree with the other two responses. True someone can crack a serial number easially, but your goal should not be to stop the crackers, you will either fail, or incure other costs that are more than the gain. Remember, the crackers wouldn't buy your product anyway, so it isn't a lost sale.
The goal is to keep the honest people honest. It is easy to justify using a product a little more than allowed because you are planning on registering, but never get around to it. These are the people who you want to gently remind to pay.
There never will be a scheme that cannot be cracked. If it is hard enough it becomes an interesting challange and you just get more attention. Hardware checks are annoying at best, they drive some legitimate customers to buy your product, and then get a version from the underground so they don't have to deal with the stupid stuff!
I recomend you read all the articles at:
http://www.dexterity.com/articles/
I found several of them interesting.

Yes you could have serial number checks or restrictive limitation for the application. However, when a full version is released, it has the potential to be copied, hacked etc.
IMO it is not worth putting a lot of effort into protecting the software. At best a protection system that stops casual copying between friends is all I would go for. As already mensioned, whatever protection you add to software someone will be able to remove it.
If the software is good enough and cheap enough then a percentage of people will register it. If you go for volume and therefore consumer awareness even a small percentage registrants will bring in the money.
Additionally, an insentive to register could be to get another application free, lifetime updates for the application. That sort of thing.

I just started programming VC++6 with database support and I already have a major problem: I created a SDI application and when I choose only one table from the Access database everything goes well. But I can't handle 2 or more table from the same database.... How do I use 2 or more table and how do I execute queries(SQL) on tables???
I really need help as soon as possible...
A small application using a database with 2 or more table and which shows how to execute SQL queries on different tables would be great... I would really appreciate that!
Please help me...

I would recommand you to use a real database server, Firebird for example.

Do you want to program odbc lowlevel? If not, take a look at the database-Classes here in codeproject.
http://www.codeproject.com/database/#ODBC[^]
There are some examples.

The SQL query generated by ClassWizard should have formed the JOIN clause automatically. In case it didn't, you'll need to do it manually. For example, here is a JOIN on three tables of a database I recently worked on:
SELECT [Meet].[Name], [Meet].[Date], [Gymnast].[Name], [Scores].[Score1]
FROM Meet INNER JOIN (Gymnast INNER JOIN Scores ON [Gymnast].[AutoNumber]=[Scores].[GymnastNum]) ON [Meet].[AutoNumber]=[Scores].[MeetNum]
ORDER BY meet.date; Search MSDN for different examples of LEFT, RIGHT, INNER, FULL, CROSS, and OUTER joins.
