Oh, so process name is just the EXE filename ? I thought it was something more "important" then that. Thanks a lot for your help.

You could have looked at the MSDN documentation for the .NET Process.ProcessName Property[^] where it clearly states:
The ProcessName property holds an executable file name, such as Outlook, that does not include the .exe extension or the path.

Here is a Class to use:

Curious why you'd bother to make a class for this. You could have created the same GetProcessID() function without the class wrapper.

I have a string represent the time and want to convert into time format...
ex) 135621372
I use strptime but it doesn't work ..
I don't want to use the substring method to get hour, minute, and second separtely. It is because I need to do some calculation for the time
struct tm tm;
if (strptime("135621372", "%H%M%S", &tm) != NULL)
{
// do something....
}
Anyone has an idea on how to do the conversion?
Thank you.

Based on what? Seconds/milliseconds since some epoch?

Just to be safe, I'd name your variable something other than tm.

You failed to indicate what "doesn't work" means. If it's because the function does not exist, see here.

the string just represent a time in hour, minute, second, millisecond
135621372 --> hour is 13, minute is 56, second is 21, millisecond is 372
it doesn't work because "tm" in the if statment returns NULL

Can you step into strptime() to find out why?

I trying using the another string separate by ":"
ex) 13:56:21:372
for the if statement, i use
if (strptime("13:56:21:372", "%H:%M:%S:%f", &tm) != NULL)
this time, it does not return NULL
However, the string that I need to parse does not have any delimiter.
Is there any way to convert a string to time format??
thanks..

Have you considered something like:
char *szTime = "135621372";
strncpy(szHour, szTime, 2);
strncpy(szMinute, &szTime[2], 2);
strncpy(szSecond, &szTime[4], 2);
strcpy(szMsec, &szTime[6]);

is that the only way i can do?
since i need to do calculation of the time, such as add and subtract...
for example
time is 001100123 (better way to see is 00:11:00:123)
if I need to subtract an hour from it, the new time is 23:11:00:123

Once you get the time string into a common time structure/format, adding and subtracting is easy.

In a C++ app I want to send a text message from the main thread to a client thread whose sole job will be to call MessageBox to display the text when it gets a message. Looks like some version of postmessage and getmessage might work, but reading about them seems more confusing than clarifying.
Initially this will be used for exception messages, so the rates would be very, very few, if any, on a given day.
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks

Not a good idea to do this from a secondary thread. What are you ultimately trying to do?

I want to send a text message from the primary thread to a secondary thread to popup to user, after which they hit ok and the popup text window will disappear. The goal is to not cause the primary thread to halt waiting for the user to click ok, because the primary thread is processing high speed, real time data.

But that's exactly what will happen. The primary thread should handle all user interface items, while the secondary thread should handle all of the data processing stuff.

You may end with many messages opened in the secondary thread...
But to do that, you must:
Create a window in the secondary thread (to have a handle).
In the primary thread, call PostMessage (as send message blocks waiting for the result)
Pass the string (char *) as the LParam of the PostMessage.
And, of course, in the other thread, when the message arrives, you must cast the LParam to (char *).
That's all.
(ah, I am not sure, but I think there is a PostThreadMessage and some WaitMessage function, but I actually don't use C++ so I can't tell that for sure).

That's precisely what worker threads are for! You shouldn't be putting such heavy processing on the primary thread. Your approach is flawed.

Hey Guys,
I have an intresting problem for everyone to consider. One of my software projects reads and writes files to the system directory. It automatically detects the location of the Windows system directory, and then uses fopen to either read or write a file depending on what is required.
So here is the conundrum. These techniques work like a charm on my projects that I programmed using Visual C++ v6.0. No problem what so ever. I recently ported this project to Visual Studio 2008 using C++ and MFC, and for XP business as usual. However for Vista, disaster. The nature of the problem is that when I use fopen it can't open the file in the windows system directory. Basically I get (fp = fopen( m_keyPath, "w" or "r" )) == NULL. Here's the twist in the tale. Any where else it's fine. It's just the windows system directory.
Any ideas??
Best Regards
Danny

The problem has nothing to do with VS6.
Your program should not be writing/crearing files in the \Windows\System32 folder. That folder has been off limits for years, but since it has not been enforced, folks have continued to abuse it. Use SHGetFolderPath() to get the path of a folder that you can write to. For example, CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA, CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS, CSIDL_PERSONAL.

As normal user you will not get access to the system directory of vista.
On vista and above many security issues changed!
Try your to start your exe "as adminstrator" and you will see it will work.

Could you explain why you need to read/write files in the System32 directory ?
There is a reason why Microsoft tries to protect its system directories.

Hey Snakefoot,
I use it as a convenient location to keep operating files without bothering with the registry. Let me give an assurance that I am not in the business of writing viruses or Malware. They may have the best of intentions, but people like this cause alot more harm than they do good.
