Both are in Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK. There's even different 32 and 64 bit flavours. Sorry about the 400MB+ Wink | ;)

They are not with the February 2003 version.

I knew you were going to say that. I have Feb03 installed, and the XPSP2 one, so I knew they weren't in there Smile | :)

However, I now have an answer to my question, so I'll dig out the right DVD and install it.

Child keeps covering parent

Hi there all,

Ik create a child dialog using CDialog->Create, followed by ShowWindow. Works just fine. I can now again activate the parent window, while the child is still alive. However: The child still covers the parent even if the parent is active and the child is not. There is no way that I get the parent to overlap the child when it is activated (I know that this can be the hard truth in real life, but I would like my computer to do what I want)! How do I do such a thing?

Thanks in advance,
William

While creating child dialog specify desktop window( Use GetDesktopWindow) as the parent instead of the "parent dialog".

As you said this is the expected behavior.

   When advising people to use the desktop as a parent, it might be prudent to mention the dangers of doing so[^].

   In general, you should not associate your child window with one that you do not own/control.

   Peace!

Hello,

If I have a menu with 4 menu options and I want to attach a popup menu to one of the menu options then is it possible ?

I have tried ModifyMenu() function with MF_POPUP parameter but it did not work.When I want to change the string with MF_STRING parameter for ModifyMenu() I am able to do it.

how to register an activX component using DOS commands????

'register' inevitably means writing to the Windows Registry database. Hacking USER.DAT and the like from DOS is pretty much suicidal in term of Windows ever booting up again, so ultimately if you want register an ActiveX the registration process will need to run under Windows. There's nothing to stop you running regsvr32 from a command prompt or by use of ShellExecute(). It can be run with a quiet switch, /q I think, if you don't want any message boxes popping up.

Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Hi, I'm developing an MFC Application, and I need to use the Main Ribbon Button (On the Top-Left Corner) without the Ribbon Control, because my app is poor of function. I'll attach on the bottom of the Main Ribbon Control a simple Toolbar.

- Is it possible to use the main Ribbon button without the all the Ribbon?
- Another possibility is to use the Ribbon with a fix Catalog of control. Is it possible?

Thanks a lot

Hooking problem

rrrado12-Jun-07 22:37

12-Jun-07 22:37

I need to hook the user32.dll function for my process only.
My application is running multiple worker threads which are hosting
3rd party STA component which is calling hooked function where I need to override
it's default implementation.
I've tried to do this:
- created my function using exactly same parameters and definition as original function
- save originl function's address
- created critical section cs
- saved first 5 bytes of original code and replaced by jmp _my_function (5 bytes code)

my finction:

LONG retVal;
EnterCriticalSection(&cs);
// restore original code at original function
retVal = CallOriginal();
// restore jmp inftruction
LeaveCriticalSection(&cs);
return retVal;

The problem is that when I'm running more than one workng threads,
it will crash after some random time.
Do you have idea what could be wrong? Is there some problem with this design?

Thank you!

PS. EnterCriticalSection() seems to be working, because when I remove LeaveCriticalSection(), there is a deadlock.

How I can post the message 'close' to that app while it is running.

That won't work with ShellExecute but with ShellExecuteEx which may provide you with the process handle.

Re: close an application

If you use the ShellExecuteEx() function, you will get the HANDLE of the process. So atleast you will be able to call TerminateProcess() function.
