I understand that impersonation is tied to a single thread. However, managed threads could be shuffled around on top of native Win32 threads, so should I try to bind the identity using Thread.BeginThreadAffinity()? And should I use Thread::ManagedThreadId when checking calls later on an object that manages the impersonation? EDIT: But ...
The scenario is that I have a list of window handles to top level windows and I want to shift them around so they are arranged in the z-order of my choosing. I started off by iterating the list (with the window I want to end up on top last), calling SetForegroundWindow on each one. This seemed to work some of the time but not always, i...
It is necessary to switch off the "ClearType" property of the default font for all dialog controls. It is possible to do that for one control by setting logfont.lfQuality = ANTIALIASED_QUALITY There are a lot of suggestion how to do the same for modal dialogs (http://neelaakash.wordpress.com/2007/12/31/change-default-dialog-font-of-cd...

I am working on creating an application which must interact with the user on the secure desktop (i.e. locked computer screen), but does not specifically provide authentication. From my research, it seems that the only way to get code running on the secure desktop is to use the Credentials Provider API. However, you can only write a crede...

Hi, Below code crash in VS 2010 when you compile with following flag and if you add /GF- or remove the opimization flag they don't crash. The crash occur at assembly code which translate 'if( path[i] == '/' )'. I like to understand the optimization that compiler does here and lead to crash. Looking forward for some pointers. -Karthik ...

I have a legacy system written in C++, MFC. I was checking a piece of code where LoadBitmap() was replaced with LoadImage() API. The comment written in the code says "LoadBitmap() uses the Paged pool from Kernel memory and if the usage reaches the maximum limit then the paint issues would pop up. So LoadImage API should be used". I goo...
I'm writing an app (in C++) which uses WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK. It's all working fine except but I don't always get the DBLCLK message. Quite often I get two WM_LBUTTONDOWN messages instead. I've looked at the mouse position - it doesn't move. I've looked at the time between the two WM_LBUTTONDOWN messages - it's well within the value return...
Consider this program: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("%s\n", __FILE__); return 0; } Depending on the name of the file, this program works - or not. The issue I'm facing is that I'd like to print the name of the current file in an encoding-safe way. However, in case the file has funny characters which cannot be represe...

I've recently started learning Win32 API and I hate Hungarian notation (those stupid prefixes in variable names which make the code looking ugly and almost unreadable), however as you may know it is absolutely everywhere in there! And this fact causes everyone to use it in their code too to keep kind of consistency... I suppose it is stu...
I am trying to write some code that works on both Linux and Win32. The most noticeable difference I find between them (in my code) is performance of fopen(). Following code takes 5 sec on my Ubuntu and the same code takes more than 100 sec on windows XP. I would like to make a note here that ubuntu is VM while XP is on a real machine. ...
