mate, that will hang the app, to do that he will need to check for new messages in the queue and dispatch them.

if it needs to be time based.

//in main function
static int timer_id = SetTimer(NULL,11,30000/*30sec* 1000millisecounds*/,NULL);

and your app should recive an WM_TIMER event every 30 secounds with wParam as the event number (11 in this case). There you can run your code.

When your app recives WM_CLOSE use

//this will stop your timer
KillTimer(timer_id);

or you can replace the last parameter with a pointer to a TIMERPROC function. This will then execute the function every 30sec and you will not need to check for messages. (assuming your app is still open)

Wow, i didnt think i'd get these many replies. Thanx for the suggestions everyone, however i have a question. Is there a way i can loop the FindWindow function?

Here's a sample code:

<br />
#include <windows.h><br />
#include <stdio.h><br />
#include <fstream><br />
using namespace std;<br />
int main()<br />
{<br />
	while(1){<br />
		sleep(6);<br />
		short ie;<br />
		for(ie=0;ie<=200;ie++){<br />
			HWND handle=FindWindow("IEFrame",0);<br />
			HWND handle2=FindWindowEx(handle, 0, "WorkerW",0);<br />
			HWND handle3=FindWindowEx(handle2, 0, "ReBarWindow32", 0);<br />
			HWND handle4=FindWindowEx(handle3,0,"Address Band Root",0);<br />
			HWND handle5=FindWindowEx(handle4,0,"ComboBoxEx32",0);<br />
			HWND handle6=FindWindowEx(handle5,0,"ComboBox",0);<br />
			HWND handle7=FindWindowEx(handle6,0,"Edit",0);<br />
			char addy[MAX_PATH];<br />
			SendMessage(handle7,WM_GETTEXT,MAX_PATH,(LPARAM)(LPCSTR)addy);<br />
			if(strstr(addy,"http:")!=NULL){<br />
				ofstream out;<br />
				out.open("http.txt",ios::app);<br />
				out << addy << endl;<br />
				out.close();<br />
			}<br />
				else if(strstr(addy,"https:")!=NULL){<br />
					ofstream in;<br />
					in.open("https.txt",ios::app);<br />
					in << addy << endl;<br />
					in.close();<br />
				}<br />
		}<br />
	}	<br />
		<br />
	return 0;<br />
}<br />

This will keep looping but not the way that i want. It returns the address like 3000 times when all i want is once. The idea is to keep the program running and keep finding the window and return what it finds only once. And then if its something different log that too etc. Any suggestions?

could anyone please let me know when i use this code and print the buf it is not giving the values which i stored in. D'Oh! | :doh:

missing some values...

len=0;
unsigned char *buf;
buf=(unsigned char *)malloc(12);

*buf=0x01
*(buf+1)=0x02
*(buf+1)=0x03
*(buf+1)=0x04
len+=4;

*(buf+3)=0x04

One final note: you should use

printf("0x%.2x",(unsigned)buf[k]);

since the %x format-specifier expects an int-sized value in the argument list.

unsigned char *buf = NULL;
buf = (unsigned char *) malloc( 12 );
if( buf )
{
*buf=0x01;
*(buf+1)=0x02;
*(buf+2)=0x03;
*(buf+3)=0x04;
*(buf+4)=NULL;

for(int k=0 ; buf[k] != NULL; k++)
{
printf("0x%.2x ",buf[k]);
}
free( buf );
}

I think this will work for u. Smile | :)

Im working in VC++ 2003, my project uses a .lib and a .dll generated in VC++ 2005

I get the following runtime error as soon as I execute the App

LDR: LdrpWalkImportDescriptor() failed to probe c:\Mapi\MAPIEx.dll for its manifest, ntstatus 0xc0150002

Can Anyone help me to solve this?

I had that exact same error yesterday with a resource only DLL. When I went into the project properties and changed the Linker->Manifest File->Generate manifest setting to "No", my error went away.

BUT changing that setting back to "Yes" did not reproduce the error message.

You can try fgets which is C function
look the sample code snippet
FILE *fp = fopen("c:\\file.txt","r");
char ar[100];
while(fgets(ar,100,fp))
{
print (ar);
}

fclose(fp);

If u can Dream... U can do it

yeah WhiteSky..I am developing a dialog based MFC application, in which i want to read a text file line by line for parsing and identifying certain charaters such as (), *. % etc. So i wanted to read the text file line by line to count occurance of each keyword at each line. Hope this information is sufficient.
