I have got some shortcuts in "All Programs"-> "Accessories" -> "Test Menu".
“Test Menu” contains some shortcuts of applications and those are not sorted, can anyone please tell how to sort those shortcuts programmatically.
Manually I can do this by using popup menu “Sort by Name” as shown in screen shot.

It may well be that there is no way of doing it programmatically. I know many things to do with the start menu are no longer controllable from external programs (ie the pin list) - and that's a good thing. What you want to do might fit in that category.
Is it so bad for the User to do this for themselves - after all they might not want things sorted, if they're used to the layout as it is now.

Have you read through Michael Dunn's Shell Extension articles[^]? This sounds like you simply need to snag on to the contxt menu and select "Sort by Name."

Hi,
In vista os,when i am trying to open a dialog in application b.exe through another application a.exe the dialog is always appearing on the taskbar.It is not getting displayed on the screen unless you press on the minimized dialog on taskbar.How to change this behaviour?This happens only in vista not in XP.
Thanks,
Sheetal

Do you have code in place that is initially minimizing the window?

No code for minimizing.
This behaviour is only in Vista.
In xp it is not getting minimized.It is displayed on top of all other windows.

So what does your app's OnInitInstance() method look like?

[edit]
Problem is solved.
1. The IDE of Visual C++ 2005 does NOT support individual manifest files for different configurations (Win32 and x64) in one single project, even though the Project Properties look like it can. No, it doesn't!
Solution: Use the command-line to run MT.exe.
2. For compatible with WinXP, we should use the sample manifest mentioned HERE[^].
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<ms_asmv2:trustInfo xmlns:ms_asmv2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2">
<ms_asmv2:security>
[/edit]
I was going to add something in the manifest files for UAC for my project. My project has two configurations: Win32 and x64. So I added two manifest files, "vista32.manifest" and "vista64.manifest, into the project.
Then I went to the project properties:
Configuration Properties | Manifest Tool | Input and Output,
and added "$(InputDir)vista64.manifest" in "Additional Manifest Files" field for Win32 configuration,
and "$(InputDir)vista32.manifest" for x64 configuration.
The content of "vista64.manifest" looks like this:
(because of the domain policy, my IE rejects copy-n-paste on CP. There might be typo below.)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X64"
name="IntelClkRun64"
type=""/>
<description>some description</description>
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel
level="requireAdministrator"
uiAccess="false"/>
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>
And Win32 version is similar. The only difference is below:
<assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
name="IntelClkRun32"
type="Win32"/>
It won't compile happily when file "vista32.manifest" is assigned to Win32 configuration and file "vista64.manifest" to x64 configuration. The error message is as below.
1> .\vista32.manifest : manifest authoring error c1010001: Values of attribute "processorArchitecture"
not euqal in different manifest snippet.
How should I resolve this issue for Win32 and x64 co-existance in one project? And is there any mistake in the manifest content?
Thanks in advance!

And if just Win32, is my method correct?

Hello Sir
i project is in VC(MFC)
I have two lan cards in my Server in such a way that Lan Card a1 is connected to internet and holds Public IP infomration and Lan card a2 is meant for private internal network and holds internal IP information and connects to client machines in my internal network.
In my coding want to develop a module that can enable me to find realtime IP addresses and/or computer name of the Client machines that are using internet via server in my internal network.
Plz help me.....I want source code or tips or Link..

Are you looking for WinPcap- the packet monitoring driver with API? You need to design an APP with winpcap and run that on server. You can monitor anything.

what about RAW Sockets (SOCK_RAW), eventhough there are controversy using RAW Socket, i think with administrative priviledge, your application can use RAW Socket, through RAW Sockets you can get the IP packets header to find the IP addresses.

I try to define some map that will hold tree item and its data.
But when i define this strut ( below ) i getting almost million of warning.
What is my mistake ?

std::map<HTREEITEM, StaticStructer::iterator> m_ContainerMap;<br />

What are the warnings ? What version of VC are you using ? VC6 standard STL sucks.

Yes ... its VC6 
I have here so much warnings ... i cant add them all to here.

std::map<HTREEITEM, StaticStructer::iterator> m_ContainerMap;
doesnot seems to have compilation problem, provided StaticStructer is declared well to use it here.
and a side note: IMHO, storing iterator is not a good choice.

how do you determined all these warning are due to the above code statement. u can post some messages, in most cases we cannot fix the warning, if we are strictly saying that, we can fix only if all the warnings are addressed simultaneously.
|

|

I suppose that there is only one single warning type (about long variable names or something like that) ?
If that's the case, it's a known problem and you can safely ignore the warnings. You can disable them by going into the project properties and specify a specific warning to be disabled (sorry, don't have VC6 here so I can't point you to the exact location).
To be sure, just post the warning number here.

i am using the freeimage library to display 32 bit bitamp with alpha
channel . I am using the following code
//--------------------------------------------
::SetDIBitsToDevice(
pDC->m_hDC, // handle to DC
xDst, yDst, // x-y-coord of destination upper-left corner
dxSrc, dySrc, // width-height of source rectangle
xSrc, ySrc, // x-y-coord of source upper-left corner
0,//uStartScan,// first scan line in array
FreeImage_GetHeight(pFIBitmap), // number of scan lines
FreeImage_GetBits(pFIBitmap), // array of DIB bits
FreeImage_GetInfo(pFIBitmap), // bitmap information
DIB_RGB_COLORS); // RGB or palette indexes
//-----------------------------------------------------------
In my 32 bit bitmap alpha channel value is 0 i.e must be transparent
on rendering device context. but is it not happening it is not
transparent (FULL BLACK). same problem occuring with 32 bit targa files
can any one suggest me the solution ????

AFAIK, there's no alpha channel support in GDI. There's no BITMAPINFO type that represents 32-bit ARGB
format.
GDI+ will work though.

But GDI+ is not displaying 32 bit bitmap and targa files.
I try a lot (googling MSDN)
how can I do it ????????.

The 32-bit GDI device-independent-bitmap format is either BI_BITFIELDS, where a bitmask
determines which bits of the 32 represent the red/green/blue compnents, or BI_RGB, where
each 32-bit pixel DWORD is in 0BGR format (the extra byte is ignored).
A GDI+ Image or Bitmap, however, can be created with the format PixelFormat32bppARGB, and
the Graphics class DrawImage() methods will honor the per-pixel alpha channel bytes, as long as
the compositing mode is set correctly (CompositingModeSourceOver).<mshelp:keyword index="K" term="CompositingModeSourceCopy" vtopic="CompositingModeSourceCopy">
I don't know anything about the graphics library you're using, but you should be able to create
a GDI+ Bitmap object from the bitmap info you have, using one of the Bitmap class constructors.

Now I write the following code with GDI+
Gdiplus::Graphics graphics(hdc); //Handle to the device context
//Load the image from a file
Gdiplus::Image image(L"file.bmp",FALSE);
graphics.DrawImage(&image,0,0,image.GetWidth(), image.GetHeight());
this is working fine with 24bit bmp jpeg png jif etc but not working
with 32 bit bitmap and targa files.
although as you write above then how can I draw the bitmap using
drawimage() method if I create it by Bitmap constructor
static Bitmap* FromFile() . as Drawimage() method always take Image()
constructor reference as its first variable not Bitmap().

Bitmap is derived from Image, so you can pass a Bitmap object to DrawImage. 
GDI+ doesn't load targa files AFAIK, so you'll need to load those some other way.
BMP, GIF, JPEG, EXIF, PNG, and TIFF are loadable by GDI+.
Whatever solution you use - A DIBSection and AlphaBlend() like Chris suggested, or GDI+
like I suggested, you'll probably need to load the image with your library, and if the library doesn't
support rendering the image, then you'll need to convert the loaded image to one of the GDI(+)
types mentioned.

sure there is: AlphaBlend[^]

DIBs (and HBITMAPs) can certainly handle 32-bit BGRA.

AlphaBlend() is for DDBs, and only DIBSections support ARGB.
That combo is indeed a solution, but why, when GDI+ provides much more support?
