hi
thanxx for ur reply!
what is bRes varable in the above mentioned code of urs?
what is Msg_ID? what is the parameter to be passed insteadof Msg_ID in the function call?
how do i know the message id of a certain message?are there any special functoins to know it??

Read what MSDN say:
1)message id
>>An ASCII string used by Simple MAPI to access an incoming message. A >>message identifier is valid only during the session in which it is assigned >>a value by the MAPIFindNext function, and does not correspond to the >>message reference used by CMC. For more information, see Receiving a >>Message: Simple MAPI Sample.
2)
ULONG FAR PASCAL MAPIFindNext(
LHANDLE lhSession,
ULONG ulUIParam,
LPTSTR lpszMessageType,
LPTSTR lpszSeedMessageID,
FLAGS flFlags,
ULONG ulReserved,
LPTSTR lpszMessageID
)
...MessageID Pointer to a string containing the message identifier seed for the request. If the lpszSeedMessageID parameter is NULL or points to an empty string, MAPIFindNext retrieves the first message that matches the type specified in the lpszMessageType parameter.
I think this is clear

following is the code i got from msdn for parsing mails
i have doubts in it like..
in the readnextmsg function what is ..c:\\pst\\myprofile.pro???
what shud i use in my program instead of that..and in the findnext function..whats OL??what are the parameters to be passed to the functions...so that i can autmate the process of receiving mails in my inbox!

The second parameter to MAPILogon() is a pointer to a null-terminated profile name string, in this case "c:\\pst\\myprofile.pro". Notice the comment that warns against hard-coding the value!!
ranjjj wrote:

It's one of the parameters. In this case, it's a 0 (zero) followed by an 'L' for long.
ranjjj wrote:
what are the parameters to be passed to the functions
MSDN lays all of this out in detail. It's best to not grab a bunch of code and try to use it (as is). From personal experience, take one statement at a time, type it in manually so that you have a FULL understanding of exactly what is happening. Copying and pasting code, especially as a beginner, will be your ultimate demise.

Numbers of email clients can be installed under
same OS login. Therefore in the second parameter
user should specify path to the files with his profile.

sorry for the trouble!
which email client do u mean?
andd what is the use of specifu=ying the path in the mapilogon function??
kindly help me ..

Hi,
Don't worry.
If you specify this parameter as NULL MS Outlook Express
will show login dialog if it neccessry( in case if login
requed user name and password).

Hello all
I am trying to develope a proxy server for shoutcast server . Usually the DFP Plug In of winAmp enables connection to a shoutcast server and streams the voice data in mp3 format to it . The listeners connect to the Shoutcast server at its port and ip and listen to the broadcast coming out of the shoutcast server .
In order to reduce the latency in trnasmission I am trying to write a simple proxy server that will take the stream from the DSP plugin and redirect the stream to the shoutcast server but the problem is the DSP plugin is not connecting to the server . I am not able to figure out how to create appropriate server and with what type? I found out that the DSP Plug in is a TCP type so in server side what kind oof sockets should be created is it CSocket or CAsyncSocket ot SOCKET type ? How will it get the connection esablished from another application like DSP plugin ? please help me

Hi,
I am writing a third-party filepacker/launcher for a game engine. I have no access to the game code so everything has to be done externally. Because of this, at the moment I have had to resort to zipping the files (all game files, executable and all) up with password protection (using the excellent ZipArchive library from www.artpol-software.com), and then having the launcher extract the files to a temporary directory on the hard-drive when started and run the game from there (the files are deleted when the game closes). This means that anybody can easily find the files by alt-tabbing out of the game and searching the hard-drive (and it also means that more hard-drive space is required).
I was wondering if anybody here had any suggestions of how I could better protect these files. I had thought of trying to extract and run them from memory, but this seems an almost impossible task, and besides which, it would consume precious memory that the game requires to run (as I understand it).
There is a tool that does something similar to what I want to do, called Thinstall (from www.thinstall.com). It compresses all files into a single EXE and runs them without having to extract them anywhere. (I don't want to use Thinstall because 1) I don't want a single EXE but want a resource file too, and 2) my program does a lot of stuff very specific to the game engine I'm using, whereas Thinstall is a general tool not designed with just games in mind anyway.) This is how the creator of Thinstall describes how it works:
"Thinstall works by compressing all of your files, including the [main game/program] EXE into a single EXE. Thinstall also inserts a small 75k program in front of everything, which is what is actually loaded when the user double-clicks your exe. The thinstall-loader then decompresses the [main game/program] EXE directly into memory and patches it up so that it no longer makes calls to the operating system for file loading, DLL loading, Process creation, Threads, Resource Loading, Directory operations, etc. Thinstall then runs [the game/program] in memory. When [the game/program] tries to read a file or load a DLL, it will go through Thinstall. Thinstall loads the file or DLL directly from the archive built into the EXE. Thinstall decompresses small blocks of the file at a time directly into memory as the application reads it, so nothing ever goes to disk and the memory required is very small."
(Of course, the programmer of Thinstall is way out of my league when it comes to coding.). The packer and launcher have been written using the Windows API, the ZipArchive library, and *no* MFC. I have hacked my way through the programming (with a lot of help from people here), but I am still a novice at C++, so if anybody does have any suggestions, I would be really grateful if you could explain it as simply as possible and tell me where to look for examples of what I need to do if there are any, or suggest which functions I should look into using.
This is probably a lot to ask, but it's worth a go. 
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
Many thanks,
KB
P.S. I have asked this question before - I am not trying to "spam", I am just hoping that I have explained what I want to do better this time around now that I have seen what Thinstall does.

Don't worry about that This is one of the best-explained questions I have seen. If every question was like this, we would certainly not be upset
As for Thinstall, obviously, the application must still be able to access the disk for loading/saving documents etc... My guess (and I haven't looked at it, so I'm not sure) is that when it traps the file loading, it checks to see if the requested file is actually in the archive. If it is, it loads it from the archive. But if it's not, it allows the request to go through to the disk. If your resource file is not given to Thinstall, then you should be able to access it as per usual.
If I'm way off the mark here, please let me know

Hi,
Many thanks for you reply. That sounds about right, as Thinstall allows saving and loading from disk, so if I can work out any of the rest of it I will have to do as you say, and check the contents of the archive for files first, then check the disk...
My main problem, though, is how to get my launcher EXE to tell the game engine (or game EXE) to load the files it needs to run from my .pak file instead of from the hard-drive. Currently the Game EXE looks on the hard-drive in its own directory or in any other directories that have been defined. The reason I mention Thinstall is that it seems to be the only program anywhere that does something similar to what I would like to do - ie. tell the game not to look on the hard-drive, but in an archived file and run from there.
I guess what I need to do is pretty much what the author of Thinstall said that his program does - somehow patch up the game EXE so that whenever it needs to load a file, it gets it from the archive/loads it into memory and somehow accesses it from there.
I'm probably trying to do something that is way past my ability here, as I am not a very proficient coder. But any other suggestions (or even better, pointers to example projects/code that do something similar - I have looked everywhere and can find none) will be much appreciated. And please feel free to over-explain and stress the functions you are thinking of (if any), because I'm still learning all this stuff.
Thanks again,

I've just read that the way Thinstall does it, is it has its launcher executable load a Virtual Operating System and a Virtual File System:
"The VOS is loaded into memory by Windows as a normal application, and does not require any special drivers, reboots, or adminstrator access to run. The VOS occupies about 90k of disk space and around 1MB of memory while running depending on which components are loaded. Once the VOS has been loaded it will load an EXE from the package archive into the same process. The VOS reroutes Windows API calls to itself before the application is run, giving the application new abilities."
So I guess that the game EXE and all its files are running together in what it thinks is just a normal directory, because the VOS has "tricked" it into "thinking" so... Now I'm getting very daunted.
Thanks,

I have the following problem.
I create a dialog box. After it is shown I want it to automatically perform some tasks. To keep it simple, in this example it only has to show a messagebox. If I use the OnSetFocus() Windows Message Handler the messagebox is shown the first time before the dialog is visible. Another problem with the OnSetFocus() is that it wil be putting a messagebox on the screen on and on because every time I click the OK button of the messagebox, the dialog gets his focus back again.
Does anybody know how to achieve this on such a way that I don't get the above mentioned problems?
Thnxx!

|

You wan't the message box to be shown after the dialog box is displayed?
Well, in this case, use OnCreate(), and try this:
ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
UpdateWindow();
Hope this helps,

I've tried it with OnCreate(), but it didn't work. The messagebox doesn't appear at all.
Does anybody have any other suggestions???
