Hi all, We've got an Enterprise system which has many processes (EXEs, services, DCOM servers, COM+ apps, ISAPI, MMC snapins) all of which make use of many COM components. We've recently seen failures in some of the customer deployments, but are finding it hard to troubleshoot the cause. In order to track down the problem, we've augmen...
Is there a way to configure hg com so that in the commit message file that pops up in the external editor, instead of just showing which files were changed (in the HG: lines) it actually shows the full diff? I'd rather view the output and compose my commit message simultaneously from the comfort of my text editor as opposed to doing hg ...

What is the Win32 api function that prevents the system from going into standby? Some programs use it, which is pretty annoying in my opinion. I know there's a couple of WM_SYSCOMMAND messages you can trap to prevent the screensaver from coming on.. ...

Hi I need a utility to close server socket handles open by the process, on windows. I cannot use tcpview as it does not close the server socket (ESTABLISHED state). Process explorer comes close with its handle list and "close handle" option, but it only gives the handle path (like \Device\Afd) and if application has open many such socket...
Hi *, I am using "RegSetKeyValue" API in my application. I am referring to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724921(VS.85).aspx. As told in the article, I have defined _WIN32_WINNT_ as 0x0600 and have included Advapi32.lib in my linker options. But still I am getting linker error, "unresolved external symbol _RegSetKeyValue"...
Win32's PathResolve is resolving \temp into c:\temp, even if I run the function from another drive. In addition, IsRelative() returns false for '\temp' - which makes me wonder what kind of resolution it actually thinks it's doing for this path. ...
Hello! Some of my users are experimenting a strange delay in one of my programs. The situation: I am copying some file from machine A to machine B. I use CopyFileExW. This works well. Directly after copying the file (if the operation was successfully done), I use GetFileAttributesW to get and modify the created file's attributes. Now t...

I have an application that is occasionally crashing in the release build; unfortunately, it looks like it is crashing in a 3rd party DLL. While trying to get a handle on it I've been swimming in a sea of HOW TOs and descriptions of how Windows creates crash dumps. I was thinking about using this suggested mini-dump: http://stackover...
In Qt, when I use the QPixmap::grabWindow(hwnd,x,y,h,w) function, the coordinates are shifted slightly, when compared to the coordinates using the windows api functions GetCursorPos and GetWindowRect. i.e. (0,0) from the point of view of GetCursorPos and GetWindowRect is at the very top left of the toolbar at the top of the window. But...

The documentation of GetSystemMetrics for SM_CXMAXTRACK says: "The default maximum width of a window that has a caption and sizing borders, in pixels. This metric refers to the e...
