You have to admit that it isn't easy to find this information.
Not everyone knows that when you need the help of static_cast you need the c36yw7x9(VS.80).aspx page and for the dynamic_cast yoe need the cby9kycs(VS.80).aspx

hi!

i have this particular code that is running correctly on XP but not in Vista due to elevation error. i'm a newbie on com and i just couldnt figure out how to to apply UAC elevation on calling the below code..

CoInitialize(NULL);

INetConnectionManager *pNetConnectionManager = NULL;
HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ConnectionManager,
NULL,
CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER | CLSCTX_NO_CODE_DOWNLOAD,
IID_INetConnectionManager,
reinterpret_cast<lpvoid *="">(&pNetConnectionManager)
);

Note: hr always return fail due to elevation error. it'll help me a lot to get some feedbacks on what i missed. thanks Smile | :)

You don't get the failure code when you run the app under elevation? Also, I am a bit curious about this INetConnectionManager interface. What kind of component interface is this? It may have something to do with what this component does during initialization. Instantiating a component per se should not require elevation.

Desktop item postion - Shell programming

Hi !

I've to retrieve and change desktop items position in a C++ program.
I can't use MFC/ATL technology, I've to use COM API and simple Win32 API.

For the moment, I use the remote process memory operations to work, but it should not work in some circumstances.

I've heard it could be done by using the Shell API, by querying a IFolderView/IShellView interface from the desktop namespace.
I tried it from SHGetDesktopFolder to get the IShellFolder interface, but I can't go further.
When I try to query the IShellView interface, I get the error "Not Implemented".

Could you tell me how to do or link me some tutorials about Desktop Shell programming.

In brief, I've to use C++ "pure" COM Shell Programming to get and change desktop items position, like if the user was dragging them.

Thanks for answers.

Making a copy of the object inside the object

Good morning (in this side of the world),

Can a copy constructor be used by a method inside the object that wants to be copied??

class Cobj{
...
Cobj(const Cobj &);    //Copy constructor
void MyFunc();
};

void Cobj::MyFunc()
{
//Can I use the copy constructor here to make a copy of this object???
  Cobj NewObj(????)  ;
// What do you put in the parameters?? the pointer 'this' can't be used because it's a pointer
// not a 'const Cobj &'
}

Yes.

}

the parameter should be *this (i.e. Cobj NewObj(*this);) you can use *this whenever a reference to this object is needed.

Try this:

CWnd *pWnd = AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd;
if( pWnd->GetStyle() & WS_MAXIMIZEBOX )
  pWnd->ModifyStyle( WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, 0 );
else
  pWnd->ModifyStyle( 0, WS_MAXIMIZEBOX );

pWnd->RedrawWindow(NULL, NULL, RDW_FRAME | RDW_INVALIDATE | RDW_UPDATENOW );

Here are a few options:

Write the code yourself
Google for a solution
Post what you have already done here and indicate what you are having trouble with

And while you're at it, saying "please" and "thank you" is probably a good idea!
