Basically I want to write an application which would display the current language as a tray icon. Mainly I can code C++ and C#. Guess Google would help me out but I would like to ask it here first, since the community, the knowledge here is something I trust. (Never wrangled with such parts of the system so far. So that's why I would ...
I've been searching msdn forever now without a straight answer. Is there a way to simply get the user's language? I don't want to load any resources or anything at this point, I just want to get their language. Is there ANY simple way to do this? I'm using visual C++,and I'm not using MFC or anything like that. Thanks in advance! ...
What would be the best approach to take in order to achieve a backwards compatible (Windows XP through Windows 7) way to capture sound that is being sent to the speakers on a machine, even if the audio driver doesn't expose the "Stereo Mix" recording device. For extra points, it would be great if this approach allowed for capturing soun...
If my application crashes, I use an ExceptionFilter to catch the crash, perform some final actions, then show a message box to the user that the application has crashed. Because the application already crashed, there's not much I can (or I dare) to do, because if I do too much, the executed code might access corrupted memory and crash a...
The following code gives me an exception on the XMLFormatTarget line, but if I change the string from "C:/test.xml" to "test.xml" it works fine. // test.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application. // #include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> #include <xercesc/util/XMLString.hpp> #include <xercesc/framework/LocalFileFormatT...
In my application I catch exceptions using an exceptionfilter, then show a MessageBox telling the user that the application has crashed and giving him some additional information. I use a MessageBox instead of an explicitly constructed dialog because I want to minimize the logic executed after a crash. Initially I had the problem that i...
I would like to dump the fields and offsets of structures in the same way as windbg's dt command. Let's say for example I would like to dump the _PEB structure which is in the Microsoft Public symbols (since windbg's DT command works). From MSDN documentation I understood that the SymFromName function should be able to do this, below th...
Is there any tool that would help to move/translate appliaction written in oracle forms6 to .net ? maybe not whole application at once, but maybe modules/forms(screens) to windows forms. I know that languages are different (pl/sql vs .net) but maybe that tool could make some template and programmer would be responsible to translate busin...
I have a 32-bit process that can run either in 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. So, naturally, if the process tried to access the file c:\windows\system32\file.ext, it would be redirected to c:\windows\SysWOW64\file.ext. So far so good - I don't want to disable the redirection. My problem is that my process doesn't actually access the file - i...
I have a database upgrade tool that is misbehaving. I would like to pause the execution of the application so I can change the database. I'm thinking a C# wrapper that could pause the process would do the trick. Has anyone ever attempted such a monster? C# is home, but other languages would be find if they can get the job done. ...
I have a database upgrade tool that is misbehaving. I would like to catch one of the queries it sends to the database and change it before it is executed. The tool connects via ODBC. The tool and the SQL Server are on the same Windows 2003 Server box. Any ideas? EDIT: (More info) When the tool runs it dies on step 12 out of 100. It...

I am using NSIS for the installation ans would like to install python into a predefined by me folder (let it be c:\Program Files\Project\Python26). For that I downloaded the p...
Every day we run an backup job. This job creates a new file in format yyyyMMdd.7z and now we need to cleanup our backup storage automatically. Our backup police says that we need to keep files from last 5 days, and last backup of each month. First step is easy since I have current day. But how I can keep the last of each month? ...

I wrote a wrapper for SFML that would allow me to replace the renderer for my game if I needed to. It worked. Then I refactored and while it still compiles, I now get "unable to initialize application 0xc000005" when running the compiled executable. What would cause such an error? Google was unhelpful. I'm using Windows XP. ...

Hello, I'd like to call my app from my driver when an interesting event happens in the Windows kernel. I need to be able to pass at least 4 bytes of data back to user mode. How to achieve this? These events might happen quite, but not too, often, so I don't want to build a queue system and use IOCTLs. I was thinking of something like t...
