Actually what I need to have is the path of the folder where the drop event took place. Is there a way to find this out? In that case I wouldnt need to override the default handling of WM_DROPFILES message.
Thanks and Regards,
Anil

A copy hook extension gets this info.

1- Yes. ( must be certain that you don't write temporary files in the same path as the executable )
2- Yes. ( search this site for examples )
3- Yes. ( don't know the API, but google or MSDN can help you with that )
4- By Clicking on the Uninstall menu item ( or button in the add/remove program control panel.
5- ??? you mean by adding a shortcut of your application to the Startup folder.
6- have a look at FindFirstFile and FindNextFile
7- don't have a clue.

From the previous answer you can see that what you are asking is possible, as I assume you are aware.
But to ask those here to do this much work for you is unreasonable.
Look around, try to do these things yourself, and when you are unable to figure something out (after trying it yourself) then ask specific questions and show what you have done, code snippets for example.

Hi, I made an uninstaller, and I need to delete the uninstaller exe, and the folder where it is.
So I used
MoveFileEx((m_installDir + "UAdmPass.exe"),NULL, MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT);
MoveFileEx, is returning OK but, I rebbot the machine and the file still there...
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Are you the administrator?
Have a nice code day 
|
|
|
|
|
Yeap.
My application needs special permisions to delete a file?
Like when you want to force a shutdown?
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure but I think yes. But I need to check.
try with *.bat file as tell David, I think it is better.
Bye
Have a nice code day

A .bat file is going to be your best bet if you need this on all platforms. There are other solutions, but they are either limited to Windows 9x, or Windows NT, but not both. See here for more.

Check the filename - is there a backslash on the end of m_installDir?
BTW you can verify this before rebooting by looking in the reg key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager, value PendingFileRenameOperations

Thanks to all for the advise, but I need to be Win ME compatible, so I'll use a .bat file

You can't use MoveFileEx() on 9x, you have to write a \windows\wininit.ini file that lists the files to delete. I know I've seen an article in MSDN that has code to do that for you.

I want to see in the TaskInfo2003 somthing more informative, than "thread", when i CreateThread().
And when i create in ms vs2002 mfc application, it`s name represented like "TODO: <file description="">"

I use the following function to set the name of each thread. Call it at the beginning of your thread function:
void SetThreadName(LPCSTR name)
{
struct {
DWORD dwType;
LPCSTR szName;
DWORD dwThreadID;
DWORD dwFlags;
} thread_name_info;
thread_name_info.dwType = 0x1000;
thread_name_info.szName = name;
thread_name_info.dwThreadID = (DWORD)-1;
thread_name_info.dwFlags = 0;
__try {
RaiseException(0x406D1388,0,
(sizeof(thread_name_info)/sizeof(DWORD)),
(const ULONG_PTR *)&thread_name_info);
}
__except (EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION) {
}
}Note that this works with the Visual Studio debugger. I don't know if it will work with your application ("TaskInfo2003").
Software Zen: delete this;

Thank you, but it`s really works ONLY with the Visual Studio debugger, not with the process managers

Hi,
I want to save a bitmap in a file. My funcion is the following code, but this save the a inverted bitmap.
BOOL CDXCaptureDlg::SaveBMP(BYTE *Buffer, int width, int height, long paddedsize, char *bmpfile)<br />
{<br />
BITMAPFILEHEADER bmfh;<br />
BITMAPINFOHEADER info;<br />
<br />
memset ( &bmfh, 0, sizeof (BITMAPFILEHEADER ) );<br />
memset ( &info, 0, sizeof (BITMAPINFOHEADER ) );<br />
<br />
bmfh.bfType = 0x4d42;
bmfh.bfReserved1 = 0;<br />
bmfh.bfReserved2 = 0;<br />
bmfh.bfSize = sizeof(BITMAPFILEHEADER) + sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER) + paddedsize;<br />
bmfh.bfOffBits = 0x36;
<br />
<br />
info.biSize = sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);<br />
info.biWidth = width;<br />
info.biHeight = height;<br />
info.biPlanes = 1;
info.biBitCount = 24;
info.biCompression = BI_RGB;<br />
info.biSizeImage = 0;
info.biXPelsPerMeter = 0x0ec4;
info.biYPelsPerMeter = 0x0ec4;<br />
info.biClrUsed = 0;
info.biClrImportant = 0;
<br />
<br />
HANDLE file = CreateFile ( bmpfile , GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ,<br />
NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL );<br />
<br />
if ( file == NULL )<br />
{<br />
CloseHandle ( file );<br />
return FALSE;<br />
}<br />
<br />
unsigned long bwritten;<br />
if ( WriteFile ( file, &bmfh, sizeof ( BITMAPFILEHEADER ), &bwritten, NULL ) == FALSE )<br />
{<br />
CloseHandle ( file );<br />
return FALSE;<br />
}<br />
<br />

It means color inversion, image transposition (like matrix) or other ?

Do you mean it's upside-down?
That's the way the BMP format works, the first row in the data is the bottom line, and so on up to the top.

Windows understands normal (upside down) bitmaps as well as "right-way-up" bitmaps - check the MSDN documentation on bitmap headers. As far as I remember, "right-way-up" bitmaps have negative height, so in your posted code, try changing:
info.biHeight = height;
to
info.biHeight = -height;
I use this technique with a StretchDIBits call, and it works there.
Since you are not processing the bitmap data at all, whether this technique works will depend on the application you use to display the bitmap. A "well-behaved" application (conforming to MSDN bitmap standards) will display correctly. A "badly behaved" application will display the bitmap upside down or crash.
Some applications may accept it, some may not! But it's easy to try.

Hello every one,
Please let me explain my problem neatly.
I am using DLL (without MFC/ATL/WTL)with shared memory and I declared shared memory using
#pragma data_seg(".shared")
directive.
As I am using DLL only for system wide hook, only my application uses it. But my applicaton can be terminated and restatred again (by user). I observed using taskmanager and debugger with step executation when my program calls SetWindowsHookEx(), 8KB memory get used by my application(process). But while termination this 8KB memory doesn't get released. This makes me two problem.
1) If I want to update/change my DLL file by terminating application Windows doesn't allow it. (As my development is going on,I have to do it). Only way to wait for some time or Log off/restart.
2) If my application get restarted 15 times a day, shall application aquire 120KB memory? 
How I can release this shared memory? Or reuse last unreleased next time.
How to solve this problem?
First deserve then desire. Let be deserved first.
