URLDownloadToFile stopped working on Windows 10

My app was running fine with Windows 7 & 8.1 using URLDownloadTofile(NULL,sUrl,SFile,0,NULL). With the upgrade to Windows 10 it has stopped working. I've made sure my app has security settings to allow it through the firewall (and this hasn't changed) but now the request to download fails. Also the Visual Studio 2008 Document explorer now just comes up with "Unable to download <help page="">" which makes me suspect it's a more general problem that just my app. I can't find any security settings that should be blocking my app.

If any one could shed some light on my problem I'd be grateful. I've trawled around the web for a day with no useful results.

Thanks,
David.

Have you tried running Visual Studio as administrator?
What is the error that you are getting?

Thanks it turned out the problem was that the directory that the Temporary Internet files were stored in no longer existed after the update to Windows 10. Trying to change this under the Control Panel application for Internet settings failed to change the directory as the one that it was trying to move the files from did not exist. The only way to correct the problem was to manually edit the registry key as explained here:

Oh I doubt it. I dont think anyone's ever used c++ to read xml files, let alone written a library for it. Google will surely vindicate me.. $Shucks | :-\$

MSXML and tinyXML are two options for you.

I use Expat to read XML files. See http://www.libexpat.org/.

I use to this to read Excel XLSX files once they are unzipped with the zlib library.

We build our own library on top of MSXML (painful).

Now, I'm trying to push http://pugixml.org/[^] for our XML need; I've used it for relatively small and not too complex XML files and it works great.

I'd rather be phishing!

Dialog controls not showing up on a child dialog

Kiran Satish6-Aug-15 7:54

6-Aug-15 7:54

I am rewriting an old application in VS2010 that was developed in vc++6.0. I am trying to keep the basic structure of the GUI the same which consists of a main Dialog in which I have multiple child dialogs. All the child dialogs except one are simple with no border, title bar or system menu. This works fine in VC++6.0, but on VS2010, none of the controls that I have in those child dialogs show up when I run the program.

Am I missing something simple here that I am not aware of?

thanks

Yes, some more detail. Is this MFC or basic Win32? How are the dialogs created, how are they displayed? etc.

Its a MFC dialog based application. Main dialog is created when the application is created using "New Project" wizard and the child dialog is created by inserting a "Insert Dialog" in resource view and then adding dialog controls to it.

Did you remember to include your dialog template resources in the build? The code will (probably) compile happily without them, but fail to initialize the dialog controls.

Tooltip behind dialog

_Flaviu5-Aug-15 0:31

Which could be the reason why a tooltip is layered behind the dialog ?
Here is the implementation:

C++

class CNotifyDlg : public CAlertDialog
{
	CToolTipCtrl m_ToolTip;
}

and

C++

BOOL CNotifyDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) 
{
	// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class

	switch(pMsg->message)
	{
		case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:		
		case WM_LBUTTONUP:		
		case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
			m_ToolTip.RelayEvent(pMsg);
	}

	return CAlertDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
BOOL CNotifyDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
	CAlertDialog::OnInitDialog();

	m_ToolTip.Create(this);
	m_ToolTip.AddTool(GetDlgItem(IDCANCEL), _T("My message"));
	m_ToolTip.Activate(TRUE);

	return TRUE;
}

LRESULT CNotifyDlg::OnButtonMouseOver(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
	if(m_btnClose.GetDlgCtrlID() == (int)wParam)
		m_ToolTip.UpdateTipText(_T("My message again"), GetDlgItem(IDCANCEL));
	m_ToolTip.Update();

	return 0;
}

and I see the tooltip window, but is just behind the dialog ... I can not figure out why is happen this ...

CAlertDialog is derived from CDialog ... what I have done wrong here ? Could you help me ?
Thank you.

Has your dialog the top most status (e.g. by calling SetWindowPos with HWND_TOPMOST or setting the WS_EX_TOPMOST style)?

Then change that.

Re: Tooltip behind dialog

_Flaviu5-Aug-15 1:52

_Flaviu

5-Aug-15 1:52

The only call with SetWindowPos is

C++

SetWindowPos(
    FindWindow(_T("Shell_TrayWnd"), _T("")),
    m_nStartPosX,
    m_nStartPosY,
    rc.Width(),
    rc.Height(),
    SWP_NOOWNERZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE);

inside of CAlertDialog ... I don't think this call is the issue ...

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
