I have code to detect the connection of USB Flash Drives as volumes. The code has been working very well for awhile, but recently a fellow engineer's machine started to fail and didn't work right again until it was restarted. The project uses Qt 4.5.0, but that shouldn't be very relevant to this question. I register for the notificati...
I have a PHP script which is running on a windows server. The script creates a soapclient object which can be given proxy_host and a proxy_port. Rather than hardcoding these values or making them a config option, I'd like the PHP script to automatically detect the local server's proxy settings so that if they change or if the script is...

Hi, I want to be able to check if sIFR has activated after the page has loaded so that I can then make other adjustments - sort of like setting up () alternate behaviours Since sIFR is already checking for the existence of flash, is there an easy global flag I can refer to, or should I just query the DOM to see if the sIFR-replaced cl...
Hi; In Team Foundation, you can ask Team Explorer to show deleted files by doing this: Tools > Options > Source Control > Visual Team Foundation Server > Show deleted items in the Source Control Explorer. My question is how do you do the same thing programatically? I am developing a synchronisation tool, and I need to detec...
I was wondering if there was any function along the lines of IsBufferEmpty() to use on a synchronous handle rather than using ReadFile() and waiting for it to return false. I need something to eliminate the delay that ReadFile() takes to try to read data. ...
hi, is there a way to get a standard winform app to detect if the shift key is being held down on application startup - without using windows hooks? I ideally would like the workflow to change from normal if the shift key is held down when the exe is run. ...
I'm using VS2008 (C++) to create an IE plugin that creates a child window. It's like a normal explorer window, but customized to fit my needs. I want to destroy the window when the user navigates away from the page, by calling DestroyWindow(). Unfortunately, I don't know how to detect if the user has actually navigated away. Is there an ...
How can I detect whether another process is running as 32/64 bit in Windows? I know how to do this for my own process, but not for a different process. A tip or solution in any language would be fine. Thanks! ...
In Flash Actionscript 3, when you need to load text, you use a class called 'URLLoader', and when you need to load an image (or .swf) you use a class called 'Loader.' As far as I know, loading a .bmp with URLLoader is as useless as loading an .xml into a Loader - it doesn't compute. I'm making a class that handles a queue of external as...

Hi, I need a safe (i.e consistent, robust) way of detecting whether or not the sql server I'm accessing is Sql Express. I think I'd prefer to be able to do this from TSQL, since I already have a connection string and all the libraries I need to execute TSQL (this should help avoid issues with whether or not WMI is installed/running, the...

Hi, This question sort of extends my other question on robots and captcha. I did what everyone recommend (thanks everyone!), however is it at all possible to detect a robot on the server first? For Example (Once again, I will use Stackoverflow as a reference): Sometimes when I ask a question, Stackoverflow comes back asking me to verify...
I'm writing a program that deals with the logs generated by the clients server. How can I detect where the user is storing them? It feels invasive to search all files, but what if they're being stored outside of the root. Is this acceptable, what if I make the user click "detect" first? Regardless, what if they've been renamed and reform...
Hi, I have a Java application which requires certain software (one of them being Perl) before it can be run. What I used to do to detect for Perl is: Runtime.getRuntime().exec("perl Test.pl"); and if there was an IOException declare that there was no Perl. However, one of my users complained that the app kept failing because he had ...
I'm using the excellent BeautyTips plugin as a means of indicating validation failures to end users and I'm running into positioning problems whenever page content is dynamically added, removed, or animated. Here's a concrete example. I have a DIV at the top of each page that’s used for confirmation/error messages. It's displayed in $...
