We host the .NET runtime as part of a Win32 program, and lately it has begun to consistently break at a specific address, in mscorwks.dll. At the specified address, there is a 0xCC byte, which is a INT 3 instruction, which fires the debugger. Has anyone else seen this? I can't see enough information in the dll to know specifically whe...

I'm trying to use the FolderBrowserDialog from my WPF application - nothing fancy. I don't much care that it has the Windows Forms look to it. However, when I call ShowDialog, I want to pass the owner window which is an IWin32Window. How do I get this from my WPF control? Actually, does it matter? If I run this code and use the ShowDia...
I'm using two commercial libraries that are produced by the same vendor, called VendorLibA and VendorLibB. The libraries are distributed as many DLLs that depend on the compiler version (e.g. VC7, VC8). Both libraries depend on a another library, produced by this vendor, called VendorLibUtils and contained in one DLL. The problem: Vendo...
Is there some way to detect file handle leaks at program termination? In particular I would like to make sure that all of my handles that get created are being freed in code. For example, I may have a CreateFile() somewhere, and at program termination I want to detect and ensure that all of them are closed. ...
I'm using Django and Python 2.6, and I want to grow my application using a MySQL backend. Problem is that there isn't a win32 package for MySQLdb on Python 2.6. Now I'm no hacker, but I thought I might compile it myself using MSVC++9 Express. But I run into a problem that the compiler quickly can't find config_win.h, which I assume is...

I need to create a new file handle so that any write operations to that handle get written to disk immediately. Extra info: The handle will be the inherited STDOUT of a child process, so I need any output from that process to immediately be written to disk. Studying the CreateFile documentation, the FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH flag looked...

WinAPI OpenFile function returns HFILE, and GetFileTime for instance needs HANDLE. When I feed it with (HANDLE)some_hFile it seems to work fine. Is there any difference in this types, or one of these is simply rudimental? ...
How do you get the name and/or description of an SEH exception without having to hard-code the strings into your application? I tried to use FormatMessage(), but it truncates the message sometimes, even if you specify to ignore inserts: __asm { // raise access violation xor eax, eax mov eax, [eax] } Raises an exception ...
I want to convert a string into a series of Keycodes, so that I can then send them via PostMessage to a control. I need to simulate actual keyboard input, and I'm wondering if a massive switch statement is the only way to convert a character into the correct keycode, or if there's a simpler method. ==== Got my solution - http://msdn.m...
I am looking for a redistributable component to convert HTML to PDF. I would - at the moment - like to avoid using a "PDF printer", as this requires a printer installation and some user "playing around" in the printers panel might break that feature. The HTML is available in a Browser control or as external file. The HTML is normally f...
I couldn't find a documented API that yields this information. A friend suggested I use NtQuerySystemInformation. After looking it up, the information is there (see SYSTEM_THREAD ) but it is undocumented, and not very elegant - I get the information for all threads in the system. Do you know of a more elegant, preferably documented API...
I'm compiling a vc8 C++ project in a WinXp VmWare session. It's a hell of a lot slower than gcc3.2 in a RedHat VmWare session, so I'm looking at Task Manager. It's saying a very large percentage of my compile process is spent in the kernel. That doesn't sounds right to me. Is there an equivalent of strace for Win32? At least somethin...

I've been using a 3G wireless card for a while and every time I connect, my anti-virus fires up the updates. I'm wondering what is the Win32 API set of functions that I can use to, either, get notified or query about the event of an Internet Connection coming up? And is there already a set of ported headers for Delphi? ...
