Do you mean folder path containing exe ?
In that case why dont you trim exe name ?

Have you tried what I said earlier ? It will give path of dll. Provided you pass module instance to it.
If you pass NULL as first parameter it will give exe path.
From MSDN:-
Parameters
hModule
[in] Handle to the module whose file name is being requested. If this parameter is NULL, GetModuleFileName returns the path for the file containing the current process.

So use the application's handle instead of NULL as the first argument.

it only tracks allocations made through the debug versions of malloc/new. it doesn't catch any HeapAlloc/GlobalAlloc/etc leaks, nor GDI/resource leaks.

What is a web installer?
Is it an installer through which we can install
the required software directly from the web itself?
OR
Is it like first we have to download the setup file
and then we can install as usually we do?

win service - sockett events not fired

snxxxxt9-Nov-06 23:47

9-Nov-06 23:47

i'm working on a service app(derives frm System::ServiceProcess::ServiceBase).
the service uses a 3rd party lib for network support which has its socket classes almost as the same as implemented by MFC lib.
----
the control flow of my service is-
onstart
start timer 10 secs
thats it
on elapse of timer
start a thread
thats it
the thread
create a socket obj
sockobj->listen // this returns immediately
thats it
onstop
destroy the sockobj
exit service
----
Now, the sock class triggers an event on client connection request(i.e. , OnAccept). this is where i'm stuck, the event doesn't get fired, or atleast my OnAccept doesn't get called. the sock obj is alive untill Onstop of the service. i've an application (not a service) which runs almost the same code, but, ah, this service freaks out Confused | :confused:

.
any tips on this reg appreciated
thanks

How are we supposed to help you with using a 3rd party lib?
Contact the vendor!

If it's really like MFC then you may need to use AsyncSelect or EventSelect with FD_ACCEPT flag.

InitializeSecurityContext fail on win98 with SEC_E_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION

I have a problem with authentication on ISA server proxy. I use NTLM protocol and my code works fine on winXP client, but it is not working on win98. It fails very early when I'm trying to get NTLM Negotiate string. InitializeSecurityContext returns 0x80090302 (SEC_E_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION)
Client operating system is windows 98SE with IE 6.0 SP1. I read somewhere, that InitializeSecurityContext can fail if DCOM98.exe is not installed. So I't not the case. I tried to install it but with no success. IE is working fine through the proxy, so it must be problem in my program.
Can somebody help please?

So anyone with a sample project using BasicExcel.

How to remove unused resource IDs ?

albuemil9-Nov-06 22:26

9-Nov-06 22:26

Hy.

I'm trying to clean up a "huge" project, and since i have a few thousand resource IDs in the "resource.h" file, it's a pain in the b.t to try to remove the ones that are really not used in the RC file.

I've found a tool, the ResOrgNET program which can find duplicate IDs, but it still doesn't help in removing the IDs that are not used anymore.

The question is : is there an add-in, program or maybe even a Perl/Java/whatever script that can help me find the duplicate resources ? (it must no remove them automatically, it should either only report them so i can remove them manually, or show a dialog in which i can tell it which ones to remove).

Thanks in advance.

Thanx prasad_som,
I didn't know about that option, it's exactly what I needed.

I've found in in Visual Studio.Net too, when you rightclick in the resource view on any of the resources there's the "Resource Symbols" option.
