I have a logon dialog with a username and password fields implemented as edit boxes. I need to trap the window handles for the two edit boxes at dialog initialization. How do I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

There is no direct way to rename a key. Create the new key. Enumerate all the subkeys and their values from the old key and add them under the new key. Now delete the old key.

Thanks. 
Do you know if this code exists somewhere on CodeProject? I've done a couple of searches, but haven't found anything about it. Do you have this code somewhere? If it doesn't exist here, I'll be sure to post the class I create when I am done.

How can I create some custom controls using only the win32 API???
Is there any tutorial about this subject??
ps: I kinda want to do something that looks like RealOne.

Can anyone point me to a good learing book with lots of samples for programming in windows? I have programmed in C/C++ for some time, self taught, but in the Dos environment and need to get to the Windows environment.

Can't go wrong with Jeff Prosise's Programming Windows with MFC. Charles Petzold's books are also very good.

I read these two books and I thought they are very helpful for me to understand the algorithms used for Windows programming:
Windows Game Programming for Dummies by Andre LaMothe
SAMS Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 in 24 Hours by Mickey Williams

If you are looking to program Windows without MFC then I recommend...
"Win32 Programming"
This could be a good thing because when you do study MFC, you'll know why things are the way they are, which is extremely benificial.
Furthermore, one of the authors is a regular here, so you could also continue to read his stuff by visiting CP.

Good! The book assumes you already know it, so it won't waste your time by telling you how to dereference a pointer, etc.

Hi all,
I am facing the following problem: If I do a new release of a DLL, I would like to put it on the network, so that other users can access it the next day. Sometimes the users forget to close their programs using the DLL. So they hold a lock on it and the old DLL cannot be replaced by the new one.
Now my question: How do I find out which user on which machine is holding a lock an a file on a network drive? There must be a way to figure that out on Win2k or WinNT. But I couldn't find anything about it in the MSDN or on the internet.
Does anyone have a solution or a hint for me?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Oliver
PS: The only comment from Microsoft I found was: Try again later.  But this doesn't quite help. Right?

I think HandleEx or some similar tool (at e.g. sysinternals) can do it.

Hi Mike,
thanks for the hint. I have already tried this, but this tool only lists the open handles on the local machine.
Best regards,
Oliver

OK. How about "EnTeHandle" at either CodeGuru or this page?
|
|
|
|
|
This is an interesting site you're pointing me. But it still won't solve the problem, because the processes locking the DLL are not running on the local machine. They're running on other machines connected to the network.
EnTeHandle works somehow like this: MyMachine->AnyHandles->MyFiles. But I am looking for something like this: MyFile->AnyHanldeToItLocatedOnAnyMachine->NameOfTheseMachines.
Best regards,
Oliver

Ahhh, NOW I get you (and feel like a complete idiot for misunderstanding you so completely - I obviously believed you wanted to program a solution based on the forum).
The solution is simpler than I anticipated!
Have a look at Server Manager (remote connections or whatever it's called - MS changes names for this for every new OS release). It can tell what files are opened by what other remotely connected machines (assuming you're using the MS SMB server here). You can't say what user uses it, but you can both see what machine has it locked, and "kick" that machine so you can replace the DLL.
At least this was available in everything up to and including NT4. In NT5 I think it's in Computer Management under Shared Folders/Open Files.
But if you want to do this using programming you're basickally f***ed. The SMB server is undocumented.
Sorry for my/the confusion.
/Mike

You could have your program run its own copy of the file on the clients machine. Then have your program automatically check for new version when running and copy the the new DLL's over when available.

Can someone tell me how to get the the position the cursor is on? I need to get which option was chosen.
Forever ignorant,

You don't really need too keep track of the mouse pointer location. Add a command handler for WM_COMMAND and the selection will be sent there. Of course you'll have to set different IDs to AppendMenu(MF_STRING, WM_OPTION1, "O1"). These IDs will be sent in the WPARAM (?) to your command handler.

The value of iStatus will be the ID of the selected item, or 0 if he mehu was aborted
so
if (iStatus != 0)
iStatus = pPopupMenu.GetMenuString(iStatus, string, MF_BYCOMMAND);
Should do the trick
You also need to add each item to the menu with a unique ID
iStatus = pPopupMenu.AppendMenu(MF_STRING, WM_USER, L"Option1");
iStatus = pPopupMenu.AppendMenu(MF_STRING, WM_USER+1, L"Option2");

Does anybody know how to create custom form sizes under Win9x. Under NT based versions of windows you can use the function Win32 API function AddForm().
Also does anybody know the correct way to retrieve the handle to a printer that you pass to AddForm(). At the moment I enumerate the available printers and then open the first one retrieved. This works but it seems like a bit of a bodge. Alternatively you can use AddPrinter() to get a handle but you need to know the name of an installed printer driver eg. Generic / Text Only will only work if already installed on the machine.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
