How do you properly unload a DLL from all processes when the system-wide hook that loaded them gets unloaded? From MSDN: You can release a global hook procedure by using UnhookWindowsHookEx, but this function does not free the DLL containing the hook procedure. This is because global hook procedures are called in the pr...
I have written a program a.exe which launches another program I wrote, b.exe, using the CreateProcess function. The caller creates two pipes and passes the writing ends of both pipes to the CreateProcess as the stdout/stderr handles to use for the child process. This is virtually the same as the Creating a Child Process with Redirected I...

So far, I tried Microsoft's example using SHFullScreen, but no luck. I do not want to hide the taskbar globally (...

I'm implementing dragging a virtual file out of a website and onto the desktop with an activex control. How do I create an IStream on my http url, so Windows can execute the drop? The example I'm looking at uses SHCreateStreamOnFile to copy a local file; there must be an analogous function for other types of streams like http file dow...
I have the need to open a file, read-lock it, then attempt to get a write lock but keep the read lock if it fails. This works great in POSIX using fcntl locking. In Windows I can use LockFileEx to get file locks. I can get both read and write locks (shared and exclusive). However, it seems that in Windows I must take the exclusive wri...

Hello, I am currently writing a plugin for a third party application. As the plugin framework does not provide any way to access the UI I am now trying to do this manually via the WinAPI.

I have created three checkbox controls for three threads and each would start by checking a checkbox control. When a user unchecks a checkbox, I want to turn on the Wait Cursor on the other thread controls rather than completely disabling them for an instance of time, letting a particular thread to stop.

I build an executable which is dynamically linked to several DLLs. Most of these are installed by default on Windows, but maybe with slightly different versions. Others I distribute with the app, but they in turn may depend on other DLLs. If I run the executable locally and get the Windows error message saying that "Failed to load [what...
What are the implications of calling CloseHandle more than once? The docs say "you shouldn't" but I think I have a realistic case with named pipes where a handle might be closed externally (See end of post). CloseHandle throws an exception in debug mode in this case, which suggests to me the developers think this is serious, but the do...
