Actually, when we are performing some software upgrade process some other process might be using the library which will interim fail the upgrade operati...

Essentially, what I want to do is allow others using a commercial application to click the save button (on the...

Unfortunately it cannot find the user32.dll library for obvious reasons. But my question is this ... is there a similar library on OS X which I can use? I am specifically looking for the fol...
Hi all, I'm trying to use the Win32 API to make a sub-thread that reads from STD_INPUT_HANDLE and pushes the bytes it reads into a socket. Because I want to be able to shut down this thread safely when it's time to exit, I'm using ReadFileEx() and overlapped I/O instead of plain old blocking ReadFile(). The idea is that my thread will...
I know microsoft recommends against linking to the msvcrt.dll, so please spare me from that warning. They do it all the time in their software (like WinDbg) and they won't introduce breaking changes since all VC6 apps link against msvcrt.dll. Linking against msvcrt.dll has several benefits. Small executable, easy deployment: msvcrt is t...

I can call GetKeyboardLayout to retrieve an "input locale identifier", which identifies the active layout in Windows. How can I convert this to a human-readable name, such as "English (United States)"?

I have heard that Ctypes can cause crashes (or stop errors) in Python and windows. Should I stay away from their use? Where did I hear? It was back when I tried to control various aspects of windows, automation, that sort of thing. I hear of swig, but I see Ctypes more often than not. Any danger here? If so, what should I watch out for?...
