How can we check if a file Exists or not using a Win32 program? I am working for a Windows Mobile App. ...
The software Dropbox provides an shell extension which adds context menu items to all files in a specific folder. One of these generates a public link to view the selected file. In a C# tool I want to call this entry without any user interaction. I want to achieve the same behavior as if the user clicked on the context menu item of a se...

With ActivateKeyboardLayout I am able to change keyboard language to some of the layouts given by GetKeyboardLayoutList. There is one problem though, I can't choose the actual keyboard, only the language. The keyboard I get is simply what the user chose previously for that language. So if I have English US (HKL=0x04090409) and US Dvorak ...
I need to find out if parent of USB device is a hub or host. Current plan is to use CM_Get_Parent() to get the DEVINST and use SetupDiGetDeviceInfoListDetail() to get the SP_DEVINFO_LIST_DETAIL_DATA structure, but from there I am looking for information to parse against to will tell me if the parent is a hub. Any pointers/hints/advice w...
How can I get an IShellItem object for a non-existent file (or directory)? SHCreateItemFromParsingName and SHCreateItemFromRelativeName fail with 0x80070002 (file not found) and ILCreateFromPath returns a NULL pidl. First I thought it might be impossible, but for example IFileSaveDialog creates such an IShellItem for its result (if ...

Thread A sends a message to Thread B using PostThreadMessage. B gets the message using GetMessage. The problem I am having is that PostThreadMessage blocks randomly the first time it is called an...
I'm having trouble using pipes in a larger application and so I created a minimal test application to investigate the problem. I'm creating a pipe: Dim sa As SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES Dim R As Long sa.nLength = Len(sa) sa.bInheritHandle = 1 R = CreatePipe(hRead, hWrite, sa, 0) //hRead declared globally Debug.Print "CreatePipe: " & R and t...
While trying to resolve process hanging on CoUninitialize() I came upon a piece of code shared by many of our projects. When a program is going to quit it first calls CoFreeUnusedLibraries(), then immediately OleUninitialize(). While the effect of OleUninitialize() is quite clear I can't find why one would want to call CoFreeUnusedLibra...

I want to make a dummy Win32 EXE file that is much larger than it should be. So by default a boiler plate Win32 EXE file is 80 KB. I want a 5 MB one for testing some other utilities. The first idea is to add a resource, but as it turns out embedded resources are not the same as 5 MB of code when it comes to memory allocation. I am think...

I'm displaying a CPrintDialogEx dialog to choose a printer and modify the settings. I set the hDevNames member so that a default printer will be selected, but I leave hDevMode set to NULL. On successful return I pull some values such as paper size out of the returned DEVMODE structure from hDevMode. I'm having a problem because hDevMode...
Background I'm using SendKeys() to send keyboard commands to the active window, but I'm not having any luck finding the child window when the application is running through RemoteApp. It all works as expected when I run the application locally. Microsoft RemoteApp allows users to connect to applications through the RDP protocol, but i...
This question has been asked more than once before, but I have not found a satisfactory answer in any of those discussions. I am launching a command-line process that produces a real-time measurement to STDOUT, producing a new result approximately every second. Using System.Diagnostics.Process.StandardOutput results in completely unacc...
I have this class here that I made based on another one I had. It is supposed to handle the whole creating windows and stuff, but it seems to be getting into a hang now. The older version used to work fine, I don't know WHAT I may have forgotten to add to this one that might be causing it to hang like this. This is the message loop: ...
I've been using ReadDirectoryChangesW to monitor a particular portion of the file system. It rather nicely provides a partial pathname to the file or directory which changed along with a clue about the nature of the change. This may have spoiled me. I also need to monitor a particular portion of the registry, but it looks as if RegNotif...
