I want to share a data with multiple processes. My first attempt is to use Point to point message queue with multiple readers since I read that P2P Msg Queue is very fast. During my test, it seems like multiple readers are reading from the same queue and once a message is fetched by one reader, other readers will not be able to fetch th...
Short question. I just got a dll I'm supposed to interface with. Dll uses crt from msvcr90D.dll (notice D), and returns std::strings, std::lists, and boost::shared_ptr. Operator new/delete is not overloaded anywhere. I assume crt mixup (msvcr90.dll in release build, or if one of components is rebuilt with newer crt, etc) is bound to ca...

Hello all, I'd like to make my WM-based device reconnect to GPRS network, if connection has been broken. There is a function in WinAPI HRESULT WINAPI ConnMgrConnectionStatus( HANDLE hConnection, DWORD *pdwStatus ); but it requires previous connection handle, and in my case it can be established manually. Is there a way to g...
KB131065 demonstrates how to activate SeDebugPrivilege to open a handle to any process. It has a function named SetPrivilege that calls AdjustTokenPrivileges, but there are two implementations and no mention why. The first implementation calls ATP in two passes: // // first pass. get current privilege setting // tp.PrivilegeCount ...

Group boxes don't render properly if the parent window has the WS_CLIPCHILDREN style set. My current workaround is to simply remove the flag from the parent. However this results in extreme flickering when resizing the window. Is there a better workaround possible? Update The Dr Dobbs article Resizable Dialogs Revisited address exactl...
In another question, we established that yes, CreateDirectory occasionally fails with the undocumented GetLastError value of ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, and that the right way to handle the situation is probably to try again a few times. It's easy to implement such an algorithm, but it's not so easy to test it when you don't know how to reprodu...
