I'm using the Scintilla edit control on Windows (Win32, C/C++) . The control is created in WndProc.

I am trying to improve my coding skills by making my code more structured and readable. I code the GUI (thanks edit). I have been reading through Firefox's open source code to improve but it uses GTK+ and not much Win32. Where can I find an open source (professional) program that is coded in Win32? One more thing: When should one write...
I'm trying to hash a password to dump into a .rdp file. I found a site that (more or less) shows how to do that here but it doesn't work in 3.1. In 2.5.4 I get this: >>> import win32crypt >>> import binascii >>> pwdHash = win32crypt.CryptProtectData(u"password",u'psw',None,None,None,0) >>> print str(binascii.hexlify(pwdHash)).upper() 0...

Essentially I added a loop which star...
I had a leaking handle problem ("Not enough quota available to process this command.") in some inherited C# winforms code, so I went and used Sysinternals' Handle tool to track it down. Turns out it was Event Handles that were leaking, so I tried googled it (took a couple tries to find a query that didn't return "Did you mean: event han...
So I'm trying to use IApplicationAssociationRegistration, which has been introduced with Windows Vista. I am using Windows 7 x64. However, every call that receives a ProgId (aka AppRegistryName, e.g. "FirefoxHTML") returns a HRESULT of 0x80070002 which means "The system cannot find the file specified". Calls like QueryCurrentDefault tha...
Does anyone know if it's possible to get the full processor name (as shown in Control Panel | System) without using WMI? I'm guessing there's some unmanaged call you can make. WMI does the job, but I'm finding it intermittently crashes or locks up on some computers. ...
I was browsing through Windows's Platform SDK header files (what a life, right?), and I noticed many places contained references to the preprocessor symbol _MAC. For example: // WinUser.h line 1568 /* * Message structure */ typedef struct tagMSG { HWND hwnd; UINT message; WPARAM wParam; LPARAM l...
Case in point : I've got a handle to a window (for instance, using the getForegroundWindow() API function). This window's got a textbox (possibly a richtext control). Would it be possible to modify the textbox's text through an Windows API call ? More specifically, I'd like to replace its text with some of my own. ...
Hi, It seems that my problem may be the same as an unanswered related question (OpenGL with GLUT on windows 7, fullscreen mode not showing the message box). Since I switched to Win7 as a development environment, and a possible target platform for my applications, I noticed a regression in their behaviour. Whenever I have a fullscreen ...

I'm wrapping files with Visual C++ 2008, I've figured out how to embed them but I can't figure out how to retrieve them. I have some C++ experience, but none with Win32 or Visual C++. The goal of the wrapping is to run some code, and then if everything okay it can run the embedded file. I'm wrapping many different files, so code reuse...

Hello, I have a window, which I SetWindowPos(window, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN), GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN), SWP_FRAMECHANGED); It covers the whole screen, ok, but it takes a while (0.5 sec) to cover the taskbar as well. Is there a way to come over the taskbar immediately? I found that setting HWND_TOPMOST does i...
