Hi; It's a known fact that Windows applications usually have 2Gb of private addess space on a 32bit system. This space can be extended to 3Gb with the /3Gb switch. The operating system reserves itself the remaining of the 4Gb. My question is WHY? Code running in kernel mode (ie device driver code) has its own address space. Why, on t...
Specifically, a program is running and I want to extract the text from a text box inside the program.

I ask because I noticed that many 64 bit EXEs link against what appear to be 32-bit DLLs. For example, my 64 bit MFC app links against user32.dll, urlmon.dll, wininet.dll - all of which are 32 bit DLLs that reside in windows\system32. So is this some MS specific wizardry that applies to these DLLs, or is there backward compatability, a...
With Windows 7 due to be released at the end of 2009, what changes should we expect? What impact will Windows 7 have on the industry? Are we still going to be using .NET (3.5?) to program Windows? Where does 64-bit figure in all this? We'll definitely be able to use Java for 64-bit stuff, but how is Microsoft going to have us making nat...
The command line has eluded me for years. I started in 1999 so I was already spoiled by the GUI; using my good ol' mouse to point and click away. Ten years later and I have some basic command line statements under my belt: cd, dir, rm, ipconfig, etc. Outside of that not much else. Heck, even my keyboard shortcuts are fairly limited t...

I have a very simple Win32 application that uses CAtlExeModuleT. The module simply creates a class CTestWindow derived from CWindowImpl. It just has a single message handler for WM_PAINT. After I create the window and display it, the OnPaint method (WM_PAINT message) is called infinitely and there by consumes 100% CPU. The code that cre...
From time to time I need to extract the contents of a shar file. And I need to wait to have access to a *nix box to obtain the files. And I was wondering if there is a unshar utility for windows.
