Hi, I am trying to connect filters in DShow, there are two filters I want to add to my filter graph. I know I can use system device enumerator (ICreateDevEnum) to enum all the filters in a category. But, This method is not very convenient, because I have to enum all the category to get a particular filter. Is there a better (faster o...

Hi, How can I place a Qt4 widget just above the system tray on windows. Since exact coordinates may depend on resolution and even the size and placement of the task bar(top or bottom of the screen etc.)? I think there is probably a method for getting the screen resolution, but is there any method for getting the size of the taskbar and...
I am developing some low-level stuff (LSP) and found out, that SMB traffic does not go through LSP, because SMB does not use Winsock. There is a paragraph in MSDN about it, but this is in part of MSDN dedicated to Windows CE. So, is there any comprehend list of whole traffic that does not go through Winsock? MSDN is bit messy about that....
I've created a program in Eclipse / MinGW / C (project type: C) which should just present an empty window. It also has the folowing line: wndclassex.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH); The call to GetStockObject() produces a compiler error: Z:/mtsts_workspace/MTSTS/Debug/../WinMain.c:29: undefined reference to ...

I am using the SHGetFileInfo api to get a handle to and display the icon associated with a particular file. If the file has no icon associated with it Windows will return you the default one that it uses in explorer for unknown file types. In this case I don't want to display the icon. How can I tell if the file has no associated icon...
Is there a Windows API or any way to determine on which physical processor/core my current thread runs? I don't need that information. I'm just curious. Edit: I'm not interested in the processors the thread is allowed to run on. I would like to know on exactly which one it currently runs. I know that the threads switch pretty fast from ...
Hi all! I am searching for a way to find a mapping between a heap and the module which owns the heap. I retrieve the heaps in the following way: HANDLE heaps[1025]; DWORD nheaps = GetProcessHeaps((sizeof(heaps) / sizeof(HANDLE)) - 1, heaps); for (DWORD i = 0; i < nheaps; ++i) { // find module which created for heap // ... } The ...
Hi, I am using SetWindowPos() to try and send Windows to back/front of the z-order. It seems to work for the most part however I am noticing for certain windows it just won't work although the function will return success. For example Window Task Manager seems to work perfectly fine but the other windows aren't responding properly to th...

This is actually a question about a huge number of winapi functions. A typical MS documentation says (from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762194%28VS.85%29.aspx ): BOOL SHGetPathFromIDList( PCIDLIST_ABSOLUTE pidl, LPTSTR pszPath ); pidl [in] The address of an item identifier list that specifies a file or direc...

I've tried explicity specifying the MS Enhanced Provider, and my key length is 4...

When we submit a form and send an email using Zend email, the email would send and then I would get a blank screen, wheras on the linux machine the app would continue normally. So I wrote m...
When trying to debug a program on Windows I can't seem to find where the output I push to stderr is going. How do I get a hold of my stderr output? Is there a debugger-level setting (MSVC 9) I can change to redirect stderr to some part of the UI? Update: I have not looked into TRACE or OutputDebugString, but the code base is cross-platf...
I am writing a Cross platform application using C++/STL/Boost and I realized they do not provide a way to check if a folder or file is hidden or is a system file in Windows. What's the simplest way to do this in C/C++ for Windows ? Ideally I have a std::string with the path (either to a file or folder), and would return if it's hidde...
