If you have a Windows application that needs to write working files as part of its normal operation (not prompted by the user): Where on the file system should they be written? What's the correct way to get this directory in .NET for all Windows versions (XP/V/7/Server)? (Writing to the same directory as the executable or a "temp" di...

I have a timer checking every 10 or so minutes about a state online and on certain conditions my app alerts me.

This is kind of a noob question but I've realized after so long of coding DirectX/OpenGL applications I don't have the feintest of ideas how to create windows with basic form objects like text boxes, labels, command buttons etc. I can create a window using the CreateWindow function just fine, how can I add buttons, command prompts and o...
I have a WCF service which uses netTcp binding and transport security. It uses Windows authentication (default). Everything is working smoothly but I want to ensure that only a select windows user account can use this service instead of everyone in the domain. Is there any way to accomplish this such that select user accounts can be wr...
Hi! I've tried http://www.codepedia.com/1/CMOS%5FC , but I got Privileged instruction exception, I guess the reason is I was in user mode (ring-3) and this operation requires ring-0. So, do you know any ways I can solve it? I read that I could write driver using Windows Driver Foundation or try to use WinAPI. ...
Dear all, Stupid question - apologies in advance. I have a mixed Windows and Linux dev environment, and the server is Linux (Ubuntu). Let's say the server is called 'myserver'. I develop on both Windows and *nix (Ubuntu and OS X), with references to myserver as 'myserver.local' on *nix, and 'myserver' on Windows. I have shared code ...

Hello, is there a way (on Windows XP+) to redirect the output of a window created by a process created with e.g. CreateProcess to a window of your own program? I'd like to make a nicer GUI for ffplay.exe which is an open source video player. It is a command line tool, which opens a simple window in which it plays back the video. Can I ...
I inherited an application using a large number of texts based files for configuration. The file's names are constructed dynamically in the software, so I can't search directly for a file name if the source code. Is there any way to break into a program running in the debugger when it touches a particular text file ? ...

The application will take input from a the user (via input text box), perform some manipulation of that text, and will direct the user to click on an input box in another application.

I recently decided that I needed to change from using milliseconds to microseconds for my Timer class, and after some research I've decided that QueryPerformanceCounter is probably my safest best. (The warning on Boost::Posix that it may not works on Win32 API put me off a bit). However, I'm not really sure how to implement it. What I'...
Hi Everybody, I just found something really cool and i'm surprised i didn't really notice it sooner. Have you ever seen WordPad running on Windows 7? If you have, you'll notice that on the top-left of the window's titlebar are a few icons (save, undo/redo). On the actual titlebar itself! How cool is that? I was wondering how i would imp...
I am working on a set of what are essentially plugins, which are COM servers. Each plugin has a set of configuration data which is managed by another component, the primary key to the configuration data is the plug-in's ProgID. When the plugin needs to access a configuration item, it makes a call and passes in its ProgID and the name of ...

I'm debugging this database project. It wraps access to SQLite for a higher level application. It's designed to run asynchronously, that is, it has methods like ExecuteRequestAsync() and IsRequestReady(). When ExecuteRequestAsync is called, it spawns a boost::thread to do the job and return the function immediately. When the higher level...
