I want to track filesystem changens, ie I want some sort of message when a file is opened, read from, written to, closed, a directory created, etc.
But I don't know the relevant functions in Win32API which do this. What are their names?
Ideally, I'd want a callback which gets called anytime a file/directory is used in some way in one of the directories I specify. Is that possible? If not, what's the name of the functions which a nearest to that functionality?

You need to implement a filter driver (or some) to hook those drivers of FAT32, NTFS, ... drivers.

I need a driver? You sure? Things like filemon froms sysinternals don't look like they use drivrs for their functionality, at least I couldn't see any driver intall related imports, especially not for each type of filesystem.

If I create a thread with code like this:
while ( true ) {
if ( PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE ) ) {
switch ( msg.message ) {
case WM_QUIT : {
return;
}
break;
}
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
}
Does this automatically create a hidden window (I'd prefer not to have this)? Are there any downsides to doing this? Somewhere I recall reading that this could potentially be problematic.

No it doesn't automatically create a window. The first call to PeekMessage()/GetMessage() would automatically create a message queue for the worker thread though.
In your code, you would be polling PeekMessage() in a tight loop if there is no message available on the queue. Why not use GetMessage() instead? It blocks until a message is posted on the queue.

In general, I would do that, however the actual code is a bit more complex than I posted. It possible for it to run for a brief time, for example run the message loop for 5 minutes. So for that I don't think I can use GetMessage. I put a Sleep(1) in the current code, though I'm not sure that's the right thing to do.

I don't think calling Sleep(1) in your loop would solve the issue.
If you need the message loop to run say for 5 minutes, can't you create a timer using SetTimer() that would post WM_TIMER to your message queue and handle that message as the condition to get out of the loop?

Doh!!! You're exactly right! I'll adjust accordingly! Thanks so much for mentioning that - I feel like an idiot for missing something so obvious.

Please note that you will have to use callbacks with the timer, as you don't have a window.

Polling with PeekMessage is antisocial behaviour for an application. In a multitasking OS busy waits should be avoided like the plague.

If it helps, you can use MsgWaitForMultipleObjects() to put a timeout on waiting for messages.

Please!!! I'm tryng to get the amount of memory allocated by a process. I have the HANDLE of process, and actually a discovered a function wich returns information about pages "GetProcessMemoryInfo" defined in "psapi.h", but I don't know how to get the amount of memory (in Kb) allocated for this process. How can I get this information????
Thanks!

you can use GetProcessMemoryInfo to get amount of memory (in Kb) allocated for process as following :
<br />
PROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS pmc;<br />
if ( GetProcessMemoryInfo( hProcess, &pmc, sizeof(pmc)) )<br />
{<br />
CString s3;<br />
s3.Format( "amount of memory (in Kb) allocated for process: %ld\n", pmc.WorkingSetSize/1024 );<br />
}<br />
Use the WorkingSetSize member of the PROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS structure to get
amount of memory (in Kb) allocated for process.

1) sprintf(str, "%I64d", num);
2) _atoi64(str);

Hallo

This one has always bugged me... I tried looking in VC++'s help to find the answer, but no luck.
When I am typing a function header, and "intellisense" is completing a function signature for me, is there anyway to tell it to actually type it out for me? It's displaying everything for me, but I still have to type it all out! Is there some kind of keystroke that will do that?
(I'm asking now, because I'm putting intellisense-like behaviour into an app I'm writing, and I want to mimick VC++'s as much as possible).

[Key Down] (to select one) and [Enter].

Umm, No. Keydown lets me scroll through the different overloads, but enter just puts a newline in the editor.
I'm talking about the function signatures, not the function names (where keydown + enter does work).
Anyone?

But I am using Visual C++ 2003 this way, and it works just fine for me ...
