I'll try to be a little more precise. The serialnumber isn't as such displayed on the monitor screen ( if thats what You mean ). It's more a question to get the monitor to tell its serial number. I have perviously seen a program, that could do that. So some interaction between the monitor an the CPU unit may be possible. At least - it seems - some monitors are capable of doing that. Perhaps in conjunction with "non standard" videoports. For instance the new digital porttypes.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer.
Regards.

No. What I was getting at was if you know the monitor to have a serial number (i.e., have actually seen it displayed somewhere), then we can surely find a way of retrieving it.

Oh - now i get it. ( I hope )
Yes, we run a "professional" inventory management tool in the company. That's the program, that can do the job. I'll try to get som more information for You/us.

Does this inventory program work on all of your monitors or just a select few?

I think the monitor device only receives signals from the computer but is not able to send data back. Therefore I am afraid you will not be able to determine monitor’s information programmatically.
However you can get some information about video controller using Win32_VideoController WMI class.

Until recently I was of the same opinion as You. Big was my surprise when I saw a program that could do that. Please se my reply to David Crow for further details.
And, also thank's to You for taking the time to answer.

How can I insert data from a flat file like .txt file into SqlServer database.
|
|
|
|
|
Read the file data into a string and place it into the database firing some query for inserting data.
What problem are you having . Reading the file or inserting data in the database?
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

You can always use SQL Server's DTS utility. Or use the SQL command Bulk Insert
onwards and upwards...

Hi
I was using sendmesage function to a window in my DLL which is attached to other application using windows hook, mainly to get text from a control.
sendmessage(hwnd,WM_GETTEXT,(wparam)100,(lparam)sztext); To my surprise sendmessage was not able to retrieve text in sztext.
could the problem lies in the creator of application who has not properly written code in WM_GETTEXT case. I think he/she may not have written appropriate code to provide proper response when send message function with WM_GETTEXT is called.
Am I wrong in analysing
please reply if u have encountered a problem like this before
thanks

It's hard to say. Here[^] is an interesting article on WM_GETTEXT and GetWindowText.

Was it a password edit box ?

No it was dialog box.
I dont have to write program to retrive passwords, it is already written by others.I can find some here

No offense meant, it is only that edit boxes with password option set react differently to the WM_GETTEXT message as when it is not set.

Is hwnd a valid window handle?

hwnd was a window handle returned when a notification that a new window is created was recieved to my filter function cbtproc. The hook code was HCBT_CREATEWND
I think sztext was properly declared
May be we can not send "sendmessage(hwnd,WM_GETTEXT,(wparam)100,(lparam)sztext);" to retrieve text to all type of window.

how can I iterate file pointer within a file consisting list of file.
that is, when ever it iterates i get next list file using vc++(mfc)

You can use CFileFind to list the files on a local disk. If you already have filenames listed in a single file, than it's up to you to find a way of cuting it into filenames. Be aware that "somename.txt.exe.pdf" is just one file...

As far as I can understand this,You have a file with some file name's stored in it.SO you want to move to the next record(filename) in your file when user takes /performs some action and show the text/name of the file. Am I right?
If yes, you can go ahead with this method :
1) Open the file.
2) Read the first element. (eg. Do this in while loop)
3) Prompt the user if he want to see the next name.
4) A)yes . show the next entry in the file
B)No . Break out of the loop.
You can use fread for reading the elements in the file.
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

That really depends on how you are reading the file. Any read operation on a file will advance the file pointer automatically. You can also do it programmatically via fseek(), SetFilePointer(), or CFile::Seek().

Are you using the CFileFind?

I htink that you mean that you have a text file, containing file names, each file name on a line of text and you want to iterate throug it.
If that is true, you have to read the file one char at a time and stop when you get to the combination CRLF (0x0d 0x0a).This is an line end.
If your text file is written in UNICODE be aware that 1 unicode char has 16 bits(2 bytes).The "normal" one has 8 bits(1 byte).

I just read in the file into a CString object and tokenize to the new line character using a while loop.
i.e. filename = fileContent.Tokenize("\n",iStart);
hope this helps.

noob here so be gentle...
How difficult is it to add Unicode support for an existing application? Can anyone point me to some tutorials/docs on this matter? I need to do this for a project that was desinged a few years back and i really do not want to go into the code..
