But, if the file is in one of its sub-directories the function doesn't find it. Can some explain how to sea...
I am having a Vodaphone data card which can be inserted in a USB port. I have XP and Vista OS, and I am using WM_DEVICECHANGE event of Windows, to know USB Insertion and removal, and it's working fine for me. But I am not able to differentiate between Data card insertion and Pen drive insertion. Is it possible? ...
How can I get the return value of a process? Basically I'm ShellExecute()ing a .NET process from a DLL (in C++). The process does its task, but now I want to know whether it succeeded or failed. How to do that in WinAPI or MFC? ...
We have a third party Windows application that we feel is too complex for our users to use efficiently. The application manages a scanner that we're using to scan 3000 documents per day. The scanner application can be completely piloted using the keyboard. We are therefore in the process of writing a simple WinForms application that ha...

Can I create Windows XP's Compressed (Zipped) Folder using Delphi? ...
I have a data structure whose operations can be categorized as read operations (e.g. lookup) and write operations (e.g. insertion, removal). These operations should be synchronized so that: Read operations can't execute while a write operation is executing (unless on the same thread), however read operations can be executed concurrentl...
Win32 api has a set of InterlockedXXX functions to atomically and synchronously manipulate simple variables, however there doesn't seem to be any InterlockedRead function, to simply retrive the value of the variable. How come? MSDN says that "Simple reads and writes to properly-aligned 32-bit variables are atomic operations", but adds t...

SafeNativeMethods.EnumDisplaySettings(d.DeviceName, -2, ref mode0); ... SafeNativeMethods.DEVMODE dm = mode0; dm.dmPosition.x = 1440; dm.dmFields = SafeNativeMethods.DM_...
I've got a little program that reads and writes files on disk. Breaking it down to the most simple level, it reads bytes from one file stream and writes them to another. It performs its duties fine, but it isn't the fastest thing. I've seen other applications that can tear through a gigabyte or more of reads/writes in amazing speeds. ...
I'm using the theme library to draw some text which works absolutely fine on Windows Vista - however, on Windows XP the returned HTHEME is NULL. This is the code I'm using: HTHEME hTheme = ::OpenThemeData(pParent, L"TEXTSTYLE"); hTheme is valid on Vista, but NULL on Windows XP. I've read the documentation for OpenThemeData and Parts a...

Code: HRESULT hr; VARIANT_BOOL pBool1, pBool2; IEnumNetworks *pEnumNetworks; INetwork *pNetwork; hr = pNetwork->get_IsConnected(&pBool1); hr = pNetwork->get_IsConnectedToInternet(&pBool2); I ha...
I am having problem with the contents of a pointer passed as the wParam from a 32-bit C# application is changing along the way to a 64-bit C++ process. There are two processes 32.exe (in C#) and 64.exe (in C++). 64.exe is started as a child process of 32.exe. 32.exe post window message for 64.exe, one of which has a wParam that is a poi...
Is it possible to determine when window focus changes at the system level? I'm writing a time-tracking application, and I'd like to be able to listen for application switching (so that I can begin logging time in a given application). I've poked around the Process class for a good hour here, and while I learned quite a few useful things,...
Hi everyone! I'm using the StgOpenStorage API under XP to read an OLE Compound Document, but I can't find the right mix of flags to tell Windows that I need just to read the file without blocking access to it to any other process... Right now I'm using STGM_READ | STGM_EXCLUSIVE but obviously if at the same time I try to open the file fr...

What is your recommendation for an API hooking library or code to be used in a commercial application? I have looked at Microsoft Detours which seems to be very good, but definitely is out of budget for the profit I am expecting out of my application. Is there any library that offers compatibility across WinXP and Vista (and Windows 7...
