You're welcome, Marcus. Have you tried setting a valid Russian Unicode font as the default font for debugger output window? (I'm assuming that the language is installed on your machine, because you say it appears properly on a message box).

I tried all fonts that I can select in VC6's settings but none did the trick. Is there a way to add new fonts? I never figured out how to do this...

Kind regards

Monitoring Window Creation in another Process

Is it possible to write a program that monitors dialog creation in all processes and auto-fills some edit controls when a particular dialog is detected?

I have an application that prompts the user to login. I also know where the login details are stored so I'd like to be able to auto-fill the username and password controls whenever the login dialog is created. I'm trying to avoid building a back door into the application that could be exploited by end-users.

Create a Windows media player control at runtime.

I have a application which is need windows media player control to play video file.

For that I inserted a Windows Media Player control through Insert ActiveX control in my application. And I Create a variable m_WMPlayer for that media player by Add variable option. Now the system adds a Class called CWMPlayer and adds line of code in DoDataExchange() as

DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_GUI_GAM_TRAILER, m_WMPlayer); // Query1

And I use this m_WMPlayer variable for set URL and uiMode.

m_WMPlayer.put_URL(strTrailerPath);
m_WMPlayer.put_uiMode(_T("mini"));

Here my query is, When I execute the code, The above line (Query1) doesn't create window handle for m_WMPlayer object. CWnd handle still null.

I think you'll find that the media player control is windowless (i.e. it's not contained within its own window). If you use Spy++, I think you'll see there's no window associated with teh control.

Can't duplicate that - I get the controls on an instance of the Windows Media Player that I've added to a sample dialog app.

I even tried setting the control's uiMode property to 'none' in the designer and 'mini' in the dialog's OnInitDialog, to see if that caused issues, but it worked as expected, with the player's controls being displayed.

This is a Vista related issue, I suppose. A program having 'standard' user privileges can only access the HKEY_CURRENT_USER tree, as far as I know.

No i am running in windows xp network and i am reading this key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Control Panel\\Desktop\\ScreenSaveTimeOut

This key is set through group policy by the system admin for a particular domain but i am unable to read this key in non admin rights , but in admin rights i can read this key.

Why it is soooooooooo ??

Below is my code

void GetScreenSaverTimeOutInfo()
	{
		try
		{
			HKEY hKey;
			strCategory=SysAllocString(L"ScreenSaverInfo");
			strItemName=SysAllocString(L"ScreenSaveTimeOut");
			strInstallDate=SysAllocString(L"-NA-");
			strVersion=SysAllocString(L"-NA-");
			strValue1=SysAllocString(L"-NA-");
			strValue2=SysAllocString(L"-NA-");
			strValue3=SysAllocString(L"-NA-");

			if (RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, TEXT("Software\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Control Panel\\Desktop"), 0, KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &hKey)!=ERROR_SUCCESS)
			{
				WriteToFile(GetNewRow());
			}
			else
			{
				DWORD dwType = REG_SZ;
				TCHAR buf[10] ;
				DWORD dwBufSize = 10;
				
				if( RegQueryValueEx(hKey,TEXT("ScreenSaveTimeOut"),0, &dwType, (LPBYTE)&buf, &dwBufSize) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
				{
					strValue1=SysAllocString(buf);
					WriteToFile(GetNewRow());

					SysFreeString(strValue1);
					SysFreeString(buf);
				}
				else
				{
					WriteToFile(GetNewRow());
				}
				RegCloseKey(hKey);
			}


			SysFreeString(strCategory);
			SysFreeString(strItemName);
			SysFreeString(strInstallDate);
			SysFreeString(strVersion);
			SysFreeString(strValue1);
			SysFreeString(strValue2);
			SysFreeString(strValue3);
		}
		catch(char *error)
		{
			//Release();
			error="Error occurred in function GetScreenSaverSecureInfo()";
			throw error;
		}
	}

It's because that key is protected from user access - registry keys can have permissions and ACLs just like files can. You can see and manipulate those using regedit.

The group policy stuff does a lot of this sort of thing - you'll find even if you change the values under the key, they'll get reset again when you next login.

Of course, open it with KEY_QUERY_VALUE or KEY_READ access rights instead of KEY_ALL_ACCESS.

I think registry write access will be only available to privileged users. If you want your application to read/write settings under any account then perhaps you should make use of app configuration file to keep track of settings.
