Hello, I am trying to automate a sequence of user inputs to a compiled application in C# using Win32 API. I do not have any source code for the application I am trying to control and it is running while I am trying to control it. In my code, I have a single button that, when clicked, needs to make a sequence of 3 inputs to the applicat...
E.g. when you hit the side of your monitor your cursor can't go any further, and more of an example is when in microsoft paint, and your choosing a colour from the RGB table, it won't allow your mouse to go outside of the rectangle while your mouse is down.. my question is how would you implement that in c++ with win32 api? ...
Hi folks. Unfortunately I'm a complete novice when it comes to this kind of native windows programming. I have been tasked with attempting to figure this out within our group alas. Essentially I need an activex control to open a new browser window. In addition to this I would like to have a reference to the new windows hwnd when its done...
Simple problem, normally a program will produce a MessageBeep if the user presses Alt+Whatever and there's no hotkey associated with it. What API functions can I call to avoid this? Handling WM_KEYDOWN, WM_KEYUP, WM_SYSKEYDOWN, and WM_SYSKEYUP all with return 0; on my main WndProc does not work. ...
I see that WinHTTP is not reentrant (1,2). Is WinINET reentrant? We have an ActiveX control that does synchronous HTTP with WinINET. If the browser (in javascript) fires an asynchronous http request (ajax) and then immediately calls the ActiveX operation (same IE process), it seems like the two operations are interleaving, perhaps reent...
I have the following code (VB.NET) which is designed to determine if a given account name refers to a local group or a user account. This will only be called for accounts/groups on a machine, not a domain. Module netapi Private Declare Function NetUserGetInfo Lib "Netapi32.dll" ( _ ByVal ServerName As String, _ By...
I have some code (which I cannot change) that I need to get working in a native Win32 environment. This code calls mmap() and munmap(), so I have created those functions using CreateFileMapping(), MapViewOfFile(), etc., to accomplish the same thing. Initially this works fine, and the code is able to access files as expected. Unfortuna...
If I have a network share say \\myfileserver\documents, can I find out programmatically how much disk space it is using (used/free space) using any API of some sort? Please note it could be hosted by samba or it could be on a san storage device which means I won't be able to install anything on that machine to check the local disk usage...
I have an application written on MS VC++ 6. It performs subclassing for several windows of controls (I needed this for custom skinning mechanism). New window procedure calls window procedure (its address was saved during the subclassing operation) in the end of its body - using CallWindowProc, of course. It worked Ok for years until one...
I am not trying to set the local hostname. In my app using a edit control need to accept a host name (fully qualified with DNS / without). We do know we cannot use chars a (\ / ! @ # $ % ^). Is there a better way than programmatically parsing the user input. Code needs to work in all languages (multi byte char set) Thanks AnilG ...
WriteFile( tmp_pipe, &Time, sizeof(double), &dwWritten, NULL ); The above is synchronous, if buffer of tmp_pipe is used up, it'll wait there. How to make the above finish instantly, maybe just ignore the data if the buffer is full? ...
Hi, Is there a way to tell the windows accessibility framework to stop saying whatever it is currently trying to say? Not disabling the feature all together, just stopping the current reading? Thanks, -Andrew ...
Looking at MSDN documentaion for GetTokenInformation() and the Getting the Logon SID example, GetTokenInformation() needs to be called twice. The first call is to get the buffer size. So, buffer size of what? Just say I use TokenUser as its second parameter, I see that the dwReturnLength returned by first call is not the size of TOKEN_U...
Hi, I want to create a crop function in an existing engine. This is what I already have: bool Bitmap::Crop(RECT cropArea) { BITMAP bm; GetObject(m_Handle, sizeof(bm), &bm); HDC hSrc = CreateCompatibleDC(NULL); SelectObject(hSrc, m_Handle); HDC hNew = CreateCompatibleDC(NULL); HBITMAP hBmp = CreateCompatibleBitmap(hNew, bm.bmWidth, bm...
To sum it up, I need to do this: 12345(hWnd) -> "C:\setup.exe" Right now, I am using GetProcessImageFileName to retrieve the Kernel Device Path of a process handle. I'm retrieving the handle using OpenProcess, passing it the PID. The PID (which I also need) is being retrieved using GetWindowThreadProcessId. However, this gets ...

I made a symbolic link file. mklink C:\LinkFileToPointNetworkFile.txt Z:\NetworkFile.txt Then I opened and read the file. Good. It works well. The target file's data has been read. -Of course, I didn't use FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT But if I try writing to the file, I get a 'access is denied'. This is not what I expected. Why ...
I have a function generating an array that I need to draw to the screen. The array is in the form of an 8 bit grayscale image. How can I draw the array to the screen properly? I have a working version of this app in with win32 code which uses StretchDIBits to draw the image. My question is, can I/how can I do something similar in wxWidge...
