Can you type out the message that you see in the dialog box?

btw, it is not worth ignoring any error.

may be we can identify the problem and solve it permanently.

I dont wish to ignore the error, i just dont want a dialog box telling me there is an error, this is to be used under automation, i just wish to have the option. The error displayed is
"an unknown error occured while accessing C:\myfile"

But i created this error myself, the file is corrupt and is meant to be, i just dont want the dialog box telling me

I have written COM objects, but I never pop messages from the COM Object. The com object should always return an error using the HRESULT return value. The client should deside wheahter to show the dialog or not or take appropriate action against the error.

You say that you are poping the error, so it is doing what it is intending to do.

may be you need to change the design a little bit but a correct design solves the problem.

Hope I helped you.

I am developing a win32 based application which acts as interface between two applications. The Interface application has to act as a service application. Is there any option to make the interface application as an service or develop the entire application as windows service application. Can you help me by giving your suggestions.

the easiest way is to create a new VisualStudio project using 'ATL COM AppWizard', and then select 'Service' as server type. Wizard will create everything for you.

if you want to do it manually, you will have to adapt your application to conform to the rules of
SCM[^].

what exactly do you mean by c++ modules? if you mean dll, you will have to use P/Invoke (import functions through DllImport attribute). if you mean COM libraries, you just have to add a reference to it, VisualStudio will use tlbimp.exe to create an RCW[^]

userland hooks, some questions about this article

I have some questions about userland hooks and this article Process-wide API spying - an ultimate hack by Anton Bassov.

QUESTION 1:
why "ProxyProlog" + "Prolog"? Why not just "Prolog" - ie. eliminate "ProxyProlog" and jump directly to "Prolog" intead?

QUESTION 2: The following code in DllMain of the injected Dll? Is there any place where we can download the source?

<br />
IMAGE_DOS_HEADER * <br />
dosheader=(IMAGE_DOS_HEADER *)hMod;<br />
<br />
IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER * opthdr =<br />
  (IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER *) ((BYTE*)hMod+dosheader->e_lfanew+24);<br />
<br />
IMAGE_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR <br />
*descriptor=<br />
      (IMAGE_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR *)(BYTE*) hMod +<br />
      opthdr->DataDirectory[ IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_IMPORT]. <br />
VirtualAddress;<br />
<br />
while(descriptor ->FirstThunk)<br />
{<br />
    char*dllname=(char*)((BYTE*)hMod+ descriptor ->Name);<br />
<br />
    IMAGE_THUNK_DATA* thunk=( IMAGE_THUNK_DATA*)((BYTE*) hMod +<br />
                                 descriptor ->OriginalFirstThunk);<br />
<br />
    int x=0;<br />
    while(thunk->u1.Function)<br />
    {<br />
        char*functionname=(char*)((BYTE*) hMod +<br />
                ( DWORD)thunk->u1.AddressOfData+2);<br />
<br />
        DWORD *IATentryaddress=( DWORD *)((BYTE*) hMod +<br />
                descriptor->FirstThunk)+x;<br />
        x++; thunk++;<br />
    }<br />
<br />
    descriptor++;<br />
}<br />
<br />
struct RelocatedFunction{DWORD proxyptr;<br />
DWORD funtioncptr;char *dllname;char *functionname;};<br />
<br />
BYTE* ptr=(BYTE*)HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(),HEAP_ZERO_MEMORY,32);<br />
RelocatedFunction * reloc=(RelocatedFunction*)&ptr[6];<br />
DWORD addr=(DWORD)&ProxyProlog;<br />
reloc->proxyptr=addr;<br />
reloc->funcname= functionname;<br />
reloc->dllname=dllname;<br />
memmove (&reloc->functionptr, IATentryaddress,4);<br />
ptr[0]= 0xFF; ptr[1]= 0x15; memmove(&ptr[2],&reloc,4);<br />
DWORD byteswritten;<br />
WriteProcessMemory(GetCurrentProcess(),IATentryaddress,&ptr,4,&byteswritten);<br />

QUESTION 3:
What header do we need to include?

Thanks in advance. Thanks!

You can ask the question to the author himself.

You can find this place just below the article you are talking about, ie the end of the article.

Try to stack trace in debug mode and find out from where did it originate or from which function in your app did it start. It will help you and us.

It seems that you are trying to call some data exchange function while control is not yet created (e.g. you can't do that for a control in dialogs constructor, because control is not yet created). could it be that you are calling UpdateData(TRUE) in dialogs constructor? if so, try to move that code to WM_INITDIALOG handler (OnInitDialog). however, this is just a wild guess without your code.

I think you will need to save your image files as TIFF files first, then they will be easy to concatenate, and then convert to PDF. LibTiff does that. Search for LibTiff and download it. It has various tools to concatenate tiffs, convert to pdf etc.

You did not mention to convert what format files to PDF. If they are tiff files, then half the work is done. If they are another format, then you could use CxImage (search for it on this site) to convert them to tiff first, then use LibTiff on them.

this is this.

I don't think you can do that. You can only split MDI child windows not MDI parent window.

Why do you need an MDI for this.

Just a simple frame inherited from CFrameWnd.

Split it up and assign it different views in different panes.

You can have nested panes.

Take a look at IdFromRowCol function.
