Why is the read-only attribute set (sometimes) for files created by my service?

NOTE: This is a complete re-write of this question. I'd previously conflated some ACL issues with the problem I'm hunting, which is probably why there were no answers. I have a windows service that uses the standard open/close/write routines to write a log file (it reads stuff from a pipe and stuffs it into the log). A new log file is o...

PostMessage for cross application messages.

I'm trying to send a keystroke to another application. I can successfully find the window handle since using SendMessage worked exactly as intended. However, when I switched the SendMessage over to PostMessage, the application no longer received the messages. I did, however, find a workaround by using HWND_BROADCAST as the window handl...

Unix-style tools on Windows?

At work (a mostly Unix development shop), I've had an OS X box for the past 1.5 years and a Linux box before that. Due to various circumstances, I'll be getting a Windows XP laptop in the next few weeks.

I'm new to native c++. Right now, I made it so when I press the left mouse button, it has a for loop that does InvalidateRect and draws a rectangle, and increments X by the box size each time it iterates. But, C++ is so much faster and efficient at drawing than C# that, it draws all this instantly. What I would like is for it to invalida...
