I'm developing an application in C++ that's partially driven by touch-screen on Windows XP Embedded. Some text entry will be necessary for the user. So far we've been using the standard Windows On-Screen Keyboard (osk.exe), but there are two main problems: It's rather small on a higher resolution screen which will probably make it ha...
I have read numerous articles now and it's not clear and there's lots of versions and this that and the other and I have been piecing things together and have got so far, my problem is the 'rar' command doesn't seem to accept my substition variable and instead reads it as a string. But this is what I have @echo off SETLOCAL set path=...
I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'm developing on XP using Studio 2005/IIS. Thus far, this has been problem free for me; until today. I needed to add an SSL cert so I could finish development for a part of the site that runs in SSL using sessions that are only allowed in secure mode. So, I install the cert and fire up studio...
I need the current user and the domain. I am using a VB 6 application. Thanks ...
I want to test some PHP on my local machine running Windows XP Professional. I'm familiar with coding PHP for upload, but not with running a web server. What is the easiest way to set up a test environment? Step-by-step instructions would be great if you can give them. (I see WAMP recommended in this thread - thoughts?) Update - a yea...
I have made a toolbar that I want to enable from a systray application written in C#, the actual toolbar enabling is done from a C++ part using [DLLImport]. Current I use: SHLoadInProc(__uuidof(MyBandLoader)) but this fails on vista (SHLoadInProc is not implemented any more), and on Windows XP SP2 with IE6 (the quick launch toolbar v...

I mount the fat32 disk which contains eclipse workspace to ubuntu. but I find I could not use the workspace, maybe I have no right to use it. the fat32 disk I mounted has the 755 right,I try to use chmod to change it to 777 but failed.

Hi all, I am using NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces() to get all the interfaces on a PC. However, this appears to only return "active" interfaces. How can I find "inactive" network interfaces, such as unconnected VPNs, disabled NICs, etc. in .NET. I would like to find them by their name in "Control Panel" -> "Network Connectio...
How would I go about creating a virtual drive with which I can programmatically and dynamically change the contents? For instance, program A starts running and creates a virtual drive. When program B looks in the drive, it sees an error log and starts reading/processing it. In the middle of all this program A gets a signal from somewh...
I am running Windows XP as a file server to 8 machines running real time applications. Three of the machines, also running XP, will open upwards of one thousand files each (and keep them open). Each of these machines are connected to the file server via the 'net use' command, all accessing the same shared folder. When these machines r...
I have a program that needs to run as a separate NT user to connect to a SQL Server databases. For running a program itself, this isn't a big deal as I can just right click on it in windows explorer and select run as. Is there any way to run my tests as a different user as well? (it would be nice if I could do so in Visual Studio) Up...
Hi, After an upgrade to XP and Java 1.6 one of our intranet apps is experiencing a problem when running a java applet in the browser. The java applet is a document editor and accepts a parameter to where the document is located. I assume it copies this file to the users machine for editing. I wish I knew more but I don't have the source...
In Windows XP, when a program wants the user's attention, it'll flash its taskbar button orange. Anyone with an IM program is probably familiar with this behavior. But when I'm playing a fullscreen-mode game, I don't see that, and messages go unanswered. Now I'm writing a game engine of my own, and I'd like to be kind to my users. Is...
Does anyone know exactly what Windows XP does when you click "Repair" on a network connection? I'd like to do the same programatically or from a command line. I did a Google search and found this article, which has a good explanation, but I don't think it's complete. I can reliably reproduce a condition where I lose network connectivity...
Although some might not think of it as programming related, it certainly is. The task Scheduler is a program. It's launching a process that I have written. Stating that it's a common problem is not very helpful. I've set up my own backup procedures, both on a Windows xP machine at home, and on several at the office, where I use the...
I very often open a console window while doing my development. Usually win+r -> cmd -> enter. However, Windows also lets you add a shortcut key to any shortcut ... but when I try to add Win + C to make the shortcut for my favorite-sized/shaped/buffered console appear, it uses ctrl+alt+c instead (already used in various editors and othe...
I have a webserver running on my Windows XP computer. I have set the firewall to allow incoming HTTP connections: Firewall settings window->'Advanced' tab->select my network connection->Settings->Services->check 'Webserver(HTTP)' checkbox. Normally, this works. However, sometimes upon restarting the server machine, the firewall again b...

I am using a quad-core windows XP based Dell Machine machine in my office as a server for an application that I am developing and for occasional work with remote desktop connection. The machine is typically under very light load, running a MySQL server with few connections and a few Java processes that make a database connection every f...
