Hi all, I'd like to use an activeX component in Visual C++. The ocx file has been registered and I can insert the component in a dialog of the resource editor. But how I get a wrapper class to use the activeX object now?? On MFC applications, the editor creates a wrapper class for the ocx, but I'm not using MFC... Thanks! Henry ...

VS 2005, C# 2.0, .NET 2.0/3.0, Win2003 I'm trying to install a set of performance counters for a MultiInstance. I noticed that some system performance counter categories manage to keep a "total" alive even when there are no other instances. ASP.NET Apps 2.0.50727 is an example. So I've been trying to duplicate this. I created the follo...
Hi, What is the best way to design a C API for dlls which deals with the problem of passing "objects" which are C runtime dependent (FILE*, pointer returned by malloc, etc...). For example, if two dlls are linked with a different version of the runtime, my understanding is that you cannot pass a FILE* from one dll to the other safely. ...
My company is developing an application that has a dependency on another of our applications. That second application already has an Inno Setup installer. So I think I'd like to bundle the second application's installer within the Inno Setup installer for the first application. But I'm not sure how to go about that properly. Does anyone...

I say "project file" in the loosest sense. I have a few python projects that I work on with ropemacs using emacs W32 for Windows. What would be ideal is if I could have an icon I could click on on my desktop to open up emacs, open up the rope project, and set the speed bar in the top-level directory of that project. Then I could also ...
I'm developing an interface for an add-on to a game. I can't use the game API (for several reasons including the fact that the code must be game-agnostic) and I need to get keyboard input from the user so I've decided to use a keyboard hook (WH_KEYBOARD) to process user input when certain conditions are met. The problem is that while I c...
I use DirectInput to handle input devices, I enumerate devices and elements on each device. When using the analogue sticks on my game pad, they report values in the range 0-65535. Is this always the case for all types of absolute axis? If not: is there any way to find out the range of an DX8 input element's DIDEVICEOBJECTDATA::dwData (...
The API for creating a new volume on our SAN is pretty straight forward. What I have not been able to figure out is how to programatically connect the iSCSI initiator to it, initialize the space (in the windows disk manager sense) and finally format it and mount it is a drive letter. I currently use win2k3, however moving to win2k8 is ...

According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549 the read only attribute is typically used for reasons other than marking a folder as actually read-only. Therefore it seems to me that it is not possible to make a directory read only in the same sense as linux using chmod a-w. ...
I guess it is impossible, but I will ask it anyway. I have a Windows application that executes BeginUpdateResource / UpdateResource / EndUpdateResource Can I somehow execute this on Linux/Unix? Its server-side, so no GUI emulator could be running. ...
Using Java is there anyway to display a custom form/image that behaves similar to TrayIcon.displayMessage() function in that it displays just above the system tray for a while then disappears? I am also looking for a way to display multiple notifications at the same time by having them display above each other. If not, how do I find th...
