In my game code, I process key input by handling WM-KEYDOWN message. wParam gives me the keycode i need. The problem is with IME, especially KoreanIME. I get WM-IME-COMPOSITION and then WM-KEYUP, but never the WM-KEYDOWN. So, the bottom line is.. I need to get keycode when i receive WM-IME-COMPOSITION. Is there a way to do so? Any hel...

This returns the index in the array of events that triggered but what I need to know is the name of the event. I've been looking through MSDN and can't see anything to do this. Basically I have a class that monitors the registry through events u...
I'm doing some crazy impersonation stuff to get around UAC dialogs in Windows 7 so the user does not have to interact with the UI (I have the admin creds of course). I have a process running as the Administrator and elevated past UAC. The issue that I'm facing is that when I make a call to WNetAddConnection2, within this process, I am ...

I would like to execute arbitrary command-line application and read its standard output as it gets produced. I use CreateNamedPipe to create a pipe and then supply other end (open used CreateFile) to CreateProcess.

I guess I didn't upgrade the right way, but for a while I was running two versions of Perl concurrently. Now I just have one, but every time I start PPM it recreates the Perl folder of one of the old locations. I've set the active one to be the current Perl folder, but because the old one is still present on the list (displayed when I ...
I have developed a Win32 C/C++ application that creates dynamic WFP IP filters, however it must be run as admin to do so (due to the Windows security policy). I want to place the code that requires admin privileges in a service running with admin privileges and then call it from the application running as a normal user. First is this th...
I am trying to redirect the stdout of an already running process on Windows XP using C#. I am aware that I can do this if I spawn the process myself, but for this application I would prefer a "listener" i could just attach to another process. Is this possible in pure .Net and if not is it even possible with Win32? Thanks UPDATE: There...
I try to create a window with a status bar: #include <commctrl.h> InitCommonControls(); hStatus = CreateWindowEx( 0, STATUSCLASSNAME, NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SBARS_SIZEGRIP, 0, 0, 0, 0, hWnd, (HMENU)IDC_MAIN_STATUS, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL); int statwidths[] = {100, -1}; SendMessage(hStatus, SB_SETPARTS, sizeof(statwidth...

[EDIT] - with the benefit of hindsight, this question was misdirected. I have not deleted it because it is a good example of the incorrect use of eval and correct criticism by Perl::Critic. Perl Critic raises the following criticism for the code below: Return value of eval not tested. You can't depend upon the value of $@/$EVAL_ERR...
I'm calling the Advapi32.dll LsaEnumerateAccountRights function having a policy handle from LsaOpenPolicy and an account SID from LookupAccountName. However, try as I might, I'm always getting back 0xC0000034 which after translation by LsaNtStatusToWinError gives me "The file referenced cannot be found." Which isn't a whole lot of good...
I am creating an application that implements inter process communication. For this purpose I have set up a shared buffer, which seems to work fine. Now, I need a way for the data generating application (written in c++) to tell the data receiving application (written in freepascal/lazarus) when it should read the data. I was trying to...

I'm attempting to keep the system on while allowing the display to power off, to allow a download to finish while the system is unattended. To achieve this I call: SetThreadExecutionState(ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED); whenever I get data from the download. However, this seems to prevent display power down as well (the display dims per its conf...
Having some out-of-memory problems with a 32-bit process in Windows I begun using Performance Monitor to log certain counters for that process. Though it is normal that Virtual Bytes is higher than both Private Bytes and Working Set, I found that in my case there was a substantial difference, Virtual Bytes was much higher than both Priv...
Hi, I want to write the following procedure / function: procedure ShowSysPopup(aFile: string; x, y: integer); Which will build and show (at the coordinates x and y) the right-click shell menu which one sees in the Windows Explorer for the given file. I'm not so interested in the 'showing' part but more in how one can build such a men...
