How can I load an image from BYTE* array using CImage ? My workaround until now is to simply create a temporary file, but this operation is very expensive sometimes ... There are probably libraries for that, but I do not want to link to other libraries, all I need is to get image size and effectively display to screen, and CImage is all...
I'm finishing my summer job where I write graphical software for our baggage scanners. Everything is done in .NET or MFC, with plain C++ for hardware communication (I don't do any of the hardware stuff). I sometimes resorted to Win32 API calls such as SendMessage to improve performance of a form or control. I've had only a year's worth o...
My service program executes another instance of itself with, essentially, CreateProcess(GetCommandLine()). The child process then uses OpenProcess to get a handle to its parent process (so it can detect when the parent has stopped running). For some customers, OpenProcess fails with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. I'm trying to determine the reason...

My application creates a suspended process, gets process's information via VirtualQueryEx() ,but fails getting process's module information using EnumProcessModules(). The task above is completed ONLY if the process is NOT created suspended and a breakpoint is hit in the debugger(so the program runs, before the call is executed). I'm t...
I have written an Add-in for Windows Home Server Console that is supposed to copy and replace some files among other things. The problem is that one file is already used by HomeServerConsole.exe and therefore I cannot replace it with another. I get "Cannot access file because it's being used by another process". I'm not sure how to sol...

StringCchCopyW(s1 + 100, _countof(s1) - 100, someString); // Is it right? StringCchCopyW(s1 + 100, _countof(s1), someString); // Is it right? // How about these...

I'm using RawInput to deal with keystrokes. I'm finding it hard to determine if the shift is pressed together with a key. From the RawInputStructure -> RawKeyboard, I can retrieve the key being pressed but I'm not sure how to go about things if the keys were pressed at the same time. RI.Data.keyboard.VKey (gets the keycode) I'm trying...

There is a nice feature in the "Open Project..." dialog (see image below) in the NetBeans IDE which uses a custom icon for the folder symbols depending on the project type in that folder. For example, if a folder contains a pom.xml file, the Maven project symbol appears. Maybe there also an extension point in the Windows standard dial...

MSDN doc's for MoveWindow() says: "If the bRepaint parameter is TRUE, the system sends the WM_PAINT message to the window procedure immediately after moving the window (that is, the MoveWindow function calls the UpdateWindow function)." But when I call GetUpdateRect() after MoveWindow(), while processing the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message in ...

Does anybody know of a function to convert the EXCEPTION_POINTERS structure returned from GetExceptionInformation() into a string that I can log? I don't want to roll my own if it's already been done. EDIT: Basically, I've added the __try{} __except(){} blocks to help the app fail gracefully on a critical error. While I'm at it, I'm t...
