Is there a way to get the physical disk number from a logical drive letter?
For example, there are 3 hard disk drives:
IDE 0 Master - the first HDD, containing C:, D: and E: logical drives
IDE 1 Master - the second disk, containing F: and G:
IDE 0 Slave - the third disk, containing H:.
For example I want to determine the physical disk, on which drive F: is located. This should be the Master HDD on IDE 1.
Thanks!

GetDriveType() returns DRIVE_FIXED for all the the logic volumes in the system, because all of them belong to the fixed drives. It doesn't work for me

unsigned short a;
unsigned long b;
b = 0x987666;
a = b;
Hi! I am using VC6.0, and I notice sometimes the compiler give me the following warning message for the code above, "warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned short', possible loss of data",
sometimes(mostly when I added another project to workspace), it gives me nothing even I rebuild all files in the same project, and I can never recover the warning message after I lost it.
Can anybody tell me how to let compiler generate warning messages all the time?

The project that reports that warning has the "Warning level" set to 4, at other times you must have the "Warning level" set to lower value, the most common being 3.
Open the project goto the Project -> settings on the menu, select the C/C++ Tab, and use the "Warning level" combo-box to set it back to 4 again.

Thanks!
With the 'Warning level' set to 4, I got the 'type conversion' warning message back plus tons of other warnings.
But surprisingly, in my previous project, the warning level is 3, and I can get some of the 'type conversion' warnings as well, but much less than level 4.

I want to ask few questions regarding my server side application using Winsock API.
My server accepts new client using accept(). This function returns a new socket descriptor. This socket descriptor has input and output buffers.
1) Can anyone tell me that how much resources this new socket descriptor required. What is the size of its input and output buffer by default and how can we change the queue size of input and output buffer.
2) My server application will run on Win2K machine with 512 MB RAM and 1 Ghz processor. How many connections can i accept, if the work load is low. (Server only calculates factorial of a number and return to client)

Write a funtion to handle the WM_HOTKEY message. Then assign a system-wide hotkey to use for restoring your app from the system tray.

Hello!!
We can enable or disable Hibernate support by using the setting in the control panel-> Power options-> hibernate tab. when this check box is checked the system makes a file hiberfile.sys in the operating system root dir and reserves memory. if the check box is unchecked the system deletes the file. I want to do this programatically. I have used the function NtCallPowerInformation() using SystemReserveHiberFile, but this is not working. Can anyone tell me if it is working at their end and if I am missing something or there is some other method to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello!!
There is a setting in the control panel -> Power Options-> Power schemes tab, for setting Standby and Hibernate time. i.e. after what unit of time the system should go into stand-by state and similar combo box is also present for hibernate state.
I have tried to use the API GetCurrentPowerPolicies(). In this, a structure is filled for POWER_POLICY->MACHINE_POWER_POLICY. In that, according to MSDN, values for stand-by and hibernate should get filled , but it does not.
I am getting the time for disk spindown and video time out and also the Power Scheme, but I am not getting the standy-by and hibernate time.
Can anyone of you tell me how to obtain the standby and hibernate time.
Thanks in advance.

hi all,
i met a bug that appear after my program run for few days. my program is monitoring a CAN card with a thread.
it run in win98. i found there is access violation for my code after it run for few days.
do you have any experience to check with such bugs? i really have no idea how to check for these error.
thanks,
jim

If you can, run the program in the debugger for a few days. If you don't have that option, then take a look at this article.

I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

IME, things that break after running for a while almost always have to do with resource (Memory, GDI, etc.) leaks.
Next time the thing crashes, take a look at the registers: If "EAX" is equal or close to 0x00000000, or 0xFFFFFFFF, then I would bet that you are experiencing a leak-related problem (and a pointer/return-value checking problem, as well).
If you can get a development environment on the machine it crashes on, build and run a debug version (standalone, do not run it under the debugger), and attach the debugger to it when it finally crashes. That should give you a start in locating the problem areas. Why not run it under the debugger at first? It adds another variable to the mix (as if the debug version would not be enough changes).
Peace!

There is an interesting behaviour, in that when I repaint something twice with the same string in GDI+ it becomes brighter, so I was wondering if the way that it paints the same string is not consistent.
I tried to test this by setting the background to black, and repainting the string with the background color, then repainting another string. If you look closely you can see the residue of the first DrawString(alot more aparent if you set background to brighter color).
Code Snippet:
<br />
Graphics g();<br />
SolidBrush b(Color(255, 0, 0, 255));<br />
SolidBrush bk(Color(255, 0, 0, 0));<br />
<br />
<br />
g.DrawString(A2CW("100"), -1, &font, pointF, &b);<br />
g.DrawString(A2CW("100"), -1, &font, pointF, &bk); <br />
g.DrawString(A2CW("101"), -1, &font, pointF, &b);<br />
So question is: Is this a feature, or am I missing something basic, or is it something so obvious that I should just rest, and think about it when I am up to speed again?
Side Note: Don't really consider this a VC++ question though posted here for a lack of a more suitable forum...

If you're drawing using smoothing, there may be some alpha blending going on, which would account for the brightening.

Went back and rechecked my assumptions, realized the default wasn't high quality. I take that to mean the algorithim used to fill doesn't always produce the same pixels.
Thanks for the input, that made me even more eager to look around tonight. Wish MSDN docs were more detailed on this subject.

I'm new to MFC, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I'm playing with the idea of creating my own Super-Toolbar class and I figured that the best way to go about it might be to derive a new class from "CRebar" or "CControlBar". However, if I go into the MFC ClassWizard and try to add a new class, neither of those classes are listed in the "Base Class".
What up with that?

The base class list is not terribly complete. You're going about it the right way, but you'll need to manually derive from those classes. Also, do you realise the code for CToolbar is installed with VC ? So you can look at what they do if you need ideas.

Ok cool, that's kinda what I figured.
As I said, I'm new to the MFC thing, so forgive me if this sounds dumb, but if I make a new class manually is that gonna screw anything up with the whole way the AppWizard junk works? Also, what's your take in general on using the AppWizard? It seems like in some ways it makes things a bit easier to manage, but the code it spits out is ugly and at this point I'm constantly worried that I'm gonna do something to trip it up. Any words of wisdom?
Also, that's cool that the CToolbar code is included. Do you happen to know where I'd find that, as well as other classes? I think looking at what they're doing for their classes might be a great way for me to really figure this stuff out.
Thanks!
