It seems you need to SetWindowPos or MoveWindow on the WM_SIZE.

Hello,

I would like to stop all messages to the window taskbar. I try to use the PreTranslateMessage function and it seems that the messages to the taskbar are not sending throw this function. Do you know a way to catch the messages?
Do you know if it should be throw this function?

Thank a lot Wink | ;)

Use GetWindowLong and GWL_WNDPROC to get a window's main procedure address and replace it with your own version using SetWindowLong.

Now messages to the window which you hooked should go via your WindowProc. Store replaced WindowProc ptr to use with CallWindowProc to do default stuff. Don't forget to replace back this ptr when your application exits!

Can you give more details? I am not sure I understand...
How can the messages be stopped this way?

Thanks D'Oh! | :doh:

An easier option if you are using MFC is CWnd::SubclassWindow. Something more on XXXWindowLong is here -> http://www.google.co.in/search?q=GetWindowLong+GWL_WNDPROc&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a[^]

As you should be knowing that WindowProc is the main procedure through which a window receives messages, so hooking this procedure with your function will help you to filter messages.

I assume by "window taskbar" you mean the taskbar with the "Start" button on it. This is part of "Explorer.exe". You can't expect to recieve messages from windows in another process via "PreTranslateMessage"!

SetFileAttributes(fol_Path,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL);
_wunlink(fol_Path);

You're using a rather bizarre mixture of Win32, tchar and _UNICODE functions. I assume you have checked elsewhere that the folder you want to delete is empty, right? Also, you don't have to use GetFileAttributes() since you want to delete the folder anyway.

Most importantly, check the return code from SetFileAttributes() with GetLastError().
If that is successful, use RemoveDirectory() and again check the return value with GetLastError().

sorry that was a mistake, i modified the code.

my problem is the second function MsgBox1 function does not displays the text i entered,
or its shows a message "An exception occured while trying to run "mydllfile.dll"

Thanks & Regards

To exploit the rundll32.exe your exported function must follow some rules, for instance the prototype must be like the following

void CALLBACK MsgBoxW(HWND hwnd, HINSTANCE hinst, LPWSTR lpszCmdLine, int nCmdShow);

then a working sample (at least, on XP it works...) will be

void CALLBACK MsgBoxW(HWND hwnd, HINSTANCE hinst, LPWSTR lpszCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
	MessageBox(hwnd, lpszCmdLine, L"MyMessageBox", MB_OK);
}

with def file

LIBRARY	"MyDLL"
EXPORTS
MsgBoxW @1

CComMultiThreadModelNoCS

6-Apr-08 19:53

Hello everyone,

I read the code for class CComMultiThreadModelNoCS of ATL. What means,

--------------------
(Section Threading Model Support, Chapter 3 Objects in ATL, ATL Internals)
CComMultiThreadModelNoCS is designed for multi-threaded objects the eschew object-level locking in favor of a more fine-grained scehme?
--------------------

My understanding is the object designed could use other approaches other than critical section, like mutex/event to do synchronization. Not sure whether my understanding is correct?

thanks in advance,
George

ATL bug of CComPtr?

George_George6-Apr-08 19:42

George_George

6-Apr-08 19:42

Hello everyone,

In the ATL Internals book, one form of constructor of CComQIPtr is implemented as this,

CComQIPtr (IUnknown* lp)
{
    p = NULL; if (lp != NULL) lp -> QueryInterface (*piid, (void**)&p);
}

I think there is a bug when QueryInterface fails, and the original value of member variable p is overwritten.

I found the in MSVC 2008, the implementation is,

atlcomcli.h

	CComQIPtr(_In_opt_ IUnknown* lp) throw()
	{
		if (lp != NULL)
			lp->QueryInterface(*piid, (void **)&p);
	}

Seems the bug is fixed? Is it a bug in old version of ATL or a bug in the book? Smile | :)

thanks in advance,
George

The original variable? It's a constructor George!
When QueryInterface fails, having a null pointer, IMHO, is the expected behaviour.

You mean when QueryInterface fails, QueryInterface will set the input parameter pointer to null?
