I have a c++ win32 program that uses sockets to download some data from a server. Before using sockets on Windows, WSAStartup must be called. MSDN says: "There must be a call to WSACleanup for each successful call to WSAStartup. Only the final WSACleanup function call performs the actual cleanup." The easiest way for me is to call WSAS...
I've built the following graph in GraphEdit: Logitech Webcam -> Infinite Tee Pin Filter -> VideoRenderer. This works fine (with GraphEdit automatically inserting a few intermediate filters between the TEe filter and the VideoRenderer filter). I've tried doing the same thing in code, and it fails when trying to connect the Tee filter to ...

What is the proper way to cast from an 'OLE_HANDLE' to an 'HICON' for an x64 target build? In particular with a normal C-Style cast, I get this warning when compiling with an x64 config: warning C4312: 'type cast' : conversion from 'OLE_HANDLE' to 'HICON' of greater size Here is the offending code: imgList.Add((HICON)ohIcon); The a...
I would like to power cycle an usb device through software on windows. I am doing development on a small usb power microcontroller. This chip will revert to native behavior on a power cycle and allow a code download. Since my code will crash the device when things go wrong -- making it ignore all USB commands -- I have to physically ...

I have written a few Python tools in the past to extract data from my Outlook contacts. Now, I am trying to modify my Outlook Contacts. I am finding that my changes are being noted by Outlook, but they aren't sticking. I seem to be updating some cache, but not the real record. The code is straightforward. import win32com.client import ...
More particularly - I have a window handle of another running application. This application contains a TListControl.UnicodeClass control somewhere (I know this from Winspector). How can I, using the Windows API and that window handle, go through all the items in that list control and get the text from all of the items? You can assume th...
Is anyone aware of a sane way to get tablet/stylus pressure information on Windows? It's possible to distinguish stylus from mouse with ::GetMessageExtraInfo, but you can't get any more information beyond that. I also found the WinTab API in a out of the way corner of the Wacom site, but that's not part of windows as far as i can tell,...

Does anyone know what culture settings Win32 uses when dealing with case-insensitive files names? Is this something that varies based on the user's culture, or are the casing rules that Win32 uses culture invariant? ...
i'm trying to debug a program, that i don't have the source code for: explorer.exe It's a native Win32 application from Microsoft, and symbols are avilable.

Anyone know of a way to reliably take a snapshot of a WPF window? The PrintWindow api works well for "standard" win32 windows but since WPF uses DirectX, PrintWindow fails to capture an image. I think that one would need to grab the front buffer for the DirectX object associated with the window, but I am not sure how to do that. Thanks!...

We're having trouble setting window captions using cyrillic or japanese characters. We either see question marks or random garbage, but not the text we want. We've tried using different encodings, SetWindowText(), SetWindowTextW(), SetWindowTextA(), and so on. We can't even get it to work by passing a string literal to SetWindowText(). ...
I'd like to just create a thread, then call CloseHandle immediately and let the thread die on its own so that I don't have to do extra clean-up work in the 'original' thread (not that cleanup is hard in itself, but it means a fair amount of extra book-keeping which I'd like to avoid). MSDN says that calling CloseHandle() on a thread doe...
This is a Windows Forms application. I have a function which captures some mouse events modally till a condition is met. For example, I would like to wait for the user to select a point in the window's client area (or optionally cancel the operation using the Escape key) before the function returns. I am using the following structure: A...

In the target process, this should have the same effect as calling _setmbcp(). The target process is not a unicode-enabled and uses a plain...
