I doubt you can get the TargetInstance.Name this way. I'd Get the TargetInstance, put that into a IWbemClassObject, then call Get again to retrieve the Name property of TargetInstance.

Once you've got the ProcessID, open up a handle to it and wait on it. I *think* Unsure | :~

you can get the process handle directly by Win32_Process::Handle, but in case you can't OpenProcess/WaitForSingleObject will work.

Hi

iam working on WMI(windows MAnagement Instrumentation). i have created a sample application using WIn32_process class . iam able to display messages when an Process is opened or closed.

now what i want to do is to create an object and then register a call back function . This class also take process names through another method . this class should call the above callbackfunction when one of the process(taken through the above method) is either started or exited.

can you please suggest me how to procedd with this task.

Re: Event Notification using Windows MAnagement Instrumentation

Let's start off with a little modification of your original code. Use this WMI query instead, "Select * From Win32_ProcessStartTrace" to get notified of process creation.

Now to receive notification whenever a new Win32_ProcessStartTrace is fired, you need to invoke that WMI query with ExecNotificationQueryAsync. This operates almost exactly like ExecNotificationQuery, except it takes one extra parameter: a pointer to your implementation of IWbemObjectSink.

If you don't have an implementation of IWbemObjectSink, just use the stock implementation from MSDN[^] or Codeproject[^].

But why do you need to be notified when a new process is being created? What are you going to do to the process?

I thought Windows already provided this functionality via the Event logs.

System Policy editor (gpedit.msc) -> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Audit Policy -> Audit process tracking (audit success). D'Oh! | :doh:

Unfortunately, this option also audits a heap of other events, in addition to process startup/shutdown.

hi when iam tryig to acquire UPS data using WIN32_UninterruptiblePowerSupply class of WMI ,iam not able to get the output,and i have searched on net for the solution , what i found is

Most UPS's now days disable native OS support when they install, because
they want to use their agent program instead. A good example is APC. So if
your using an APC by default it turns off UPS support (Maybe MS needs to
beef up the UPS support so APC doesnt feel they need to do this for
functionality). So in this case WMI wont be any help. But IF your UPS uses
the built in UPS support Windows provides then you should be ok

can u please elaborate on this and tell me how to get UPS data.

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

Can I write a shell extension which can process my own shell format?
For example: I have an application which has own data format, and when
drag from this applicaion and drop on explorer, the extension can process this data format.

It's like when you drag some texts and drop on explorer, which generate some special file.

Of course, I want generate my own files.
Anyone can help me?

The most common format for the explorer is the combination of RegisterClipboardFormat(CFSTR_FILECONTENTS) and RegisterClipboardFormat(CFSTR_FILEDESCRIPTOR). These formats tells the explorer what filename to use and to render data from a storage (IStream). The IStream can render any data-format you want. For small data you can also use a HGLOBAL memory block to render your data-format.
To realize this - you have to implement your own IDataObject at least.

SIMPLE COM DLL WITH MULTI RETURN VALUES!!!

hy everybody,

i really have a strange problem, and i hope that this very nice forum can help me out another time.

So what i have is a very simple com dll, if followed this article to build it: COM-DLL

my prroblem is, when e have a function like this:
[id(5), helpstring("method test2")] HRESULT test2([out,retval] BSTR* str);

i want to return more Parameters with the [out,retval], not only a BSTR* maybe a sequence or an array would be nice! In my Project i have to return 20 Strings to the Client who is using this dll, how does this work?
maybe something like this:
[id(5), helpstring("method test2")] HRESULT test2([out,retval] BSTR* str[20]);

I dont know or passing a sequence or an struct as a return Parameter?
Or what about this VARIANT* Types how does this work?
[id(5), helpstring("method test2")] HRESULT test2([out,retval] VARIANT* );

Please could someone explain it to me, i really need this asap...
Really, thank you in advance,

You could describe a structure in IDL and use that as an out parameter.

Yeah that was my idea too, but how could i do this, i try it that way:

interface Idatamng : IDispatch{<br />
struct PM<br />
{<br />
BSTR var1;<br />
BSTR var2;<br />
}<br />
[id(1), helpstring("method get_orderids")] HRESULT get_orderids([out,retval] PM* pm_inst1);	<br />
};

But this is not working! Also with an Typedef it is not working:

interface Idatamng : IDispatch{<br />
struct PM<br />
{<br />
BSTR var1;<br />
BSTR var2;<br />
}<br />
typedef PM pm_def<br />
[id(1), helpstring("method get_orderids")] HRESULT get_orderids([out,retval] pm_def* pm_inst1);	<br />
};

So i dont know how to build a structure in IDL, could you help me please!

Ok something has changed and a new error occured ok the following is working, it is compiling, that should be the right description:

<br />
interface Idatamng : IDispatch{<br />
	<br />
	typedef struct _MYPM<br />
	{<br />
		BSTR id1;<br />
		BSTR id2;<br />
	}MYPM;<br />
<br />
[id(6), helpstring("method test3")] HRESULT test3([out,retval] MYPM* peter);<br />
};<br />

This is the code from the idl file, and he compile it!
But now i try to access the struct from the cpp file of the class:

<br />
STDMETHODIMP Cdatamng::test3(MYPM* peter)<br />
{<br />
	<br />
	AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());<br />
<br />
	// TODO: Add your implementation code here<br />
<br />
	peter->id1 = CComBSTR("Test");<br />
	return S_OK;<br />
}<br />

if peter->id1 = CComBSTR("Test"); a constant string everything is fine, test it with a small vb app it gave me the string back to the client, but if i try to hold this parameter flexible by an variable of the class, for example orderid which is an array it fails:

<br />
STDMETHODIMP Cdatamng::test3(MYPM* peter)<br />
{<br />
	<br />
	AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());<br />
<br />
	// TODO: Add your implementation code here<br />
<br />
	peter->id1 = orderid[0];<br />
	return S_OK;<br />
}<br />

So the vb test app, returns a System.NullReference!
I dont know why he is not able to get the string back from the DLL.
I hope someone can help me on this topic!

Thanks for everything Smile | :)
