Hey All, I downloaded the Windows SDK 7.0A to explore some things I was reading about. I downloaded some samples that work with the SDK but when I try to compile them I get an error. I looked in the Lib directory of the SDK and couldn't find it. I also did a full system search and also did not find it. I have read about this being a spe...

I am writing an application in C# that plays a movie. I need to figure out how to disable the screen saver and power options using C#. I know the Windows SDK API has a function called SetThreadExecutionState() which can be used to do this, however, I do not know if there is a better way to do it. If not, how do I incorporate this funct...
Here is a copy of the datasheet from a microcontroller: Break characters are a full character time of logic 0 (including a 0 where the stop bit would be normally). This is what I want to generate with the windows COM port (Windows SDK). The problem is I don't see a way to have the stop-bit set to zero. Any ideas?` SetCommBreak...

Attempting to implement a poor man's test of whether a process is still running or not (essentially an equivalent of the trivial kill(pid, 0).) Hoped to be able to simply call OpenProcess with some minimal desired access then test for either GetLastError() == ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER or GetExitCodeProcess(...) != STILL_ACTIVE. Nice try....

Hi, Something, maybe the windows sdk or visual studio installer, has defined the Platform environment variable and given it the value BNB. What does BNB mean, and why is Platform set to BNB? Thanks.

I am writing a Win32 DLL library that can be redistributed. I am using different versions of the windows API because I want to support Windows 7 functions, but still have support for Windows 2000 (with some function disabled). What I have currently is MyLib2000.dll, MyLibXP.dll, and MyLibVista.dll, and my application chooses which librar...
Hi, I have a piece of code that calls LogonUser() followed by CreateProcessAsUser(). In Win32, the resulting process belongs to a user (say, TESTDOMAIN\user1) who belongs to the LOCAL group. However, in x64, the process owner does not belong to LOCAL. The owner still belongs to all other groups (Authenticated Users, Everyone, etc.) Doe...

I'm asking so I can install the latest version if it isn't installed allready, before i start playing around w...
What is NetFx, in the context of the Windows SDK? What differentiates NetFx tools from the tools in the regular SDK bin directory?

If so, could you please provide guidance with an example perhaps? Thank you, It's been paining me for days! Please consider that it is an external application. So for example, if ...
For developing programs for windows, we need windows SDK. I understand that this SDK is what helps to create windows and handle window events and all that. I suppose it also enables us to manipulate with files and registries. (Does the same SDK is the reason for thread creation and handling?) All that is fine! I would like to know wha...
