How to be tricky...

I have a USB device install procedure ready to go, but it relies on the user pressing cancel to the new hardware wizard when it comes up on insertion of the device.

Is there any way to stop the wizard coming up temporarily in code, or is there a way to grab onto the wizard handle and closing it via my program?

Cheers,

Dave

I know this isn't the best way of doing what your tring to do but it should work...

Note, I did't compile this so I may have mistyped something.. I think you get the idea.. Get a pointer to the other window and tell it to close (Only if you can find the window)...

CWnd *pOtherWnd = CWnd::FindWindow(NULL,_T("Window Title of the Wizard.."));
if(pOtherWnd)
     pOtherWnd->SendMessage(WM_QUIT,0,0);

how to get start menu programmatically?

how to get directory of start menu programmatically?

the directory includes 'group name' as its sub-directory.

in win95, the directory is under windows directory.
in win2k, it is out of windows directory, i.e. c:\documents-and-settings.

my purpose is to add 'group name' and links to the directory vs install and delete them vs uninstall directly.

thanks

Call SHGetSpecialFolderPath() and use CSIDL_COMMON_STARTMENU or CSIDL_STARTMENU depending on whether you want to add your group for all users or just the current user.

Get execution time with Borland C++

I need to measure the execution time of my programs under DOS but I don't know how to do it with Borland C++ compiler. With Microsoft C++ compilers is easy to measure the running time using the function GetTickCount() that returns the time since windows started. But now I want to compile them with Borland C++ and run under DOS.Any ideas?
Thank you for your help.

by "running in DOS" do you mean the old DOS like 6.x or 7.x (or older) or simply a console mode program in win32?
If it's just a console mode program, then just #include "windows.h" and use the GetTickCount() function - GetTickCount() is part of the Win32 API and should work fine in Borland (assumming you are linking to Win32 libs). If this is not the case then try using the C run time's time() function

I don't know exactly wich version of DOS I am using.I have Windows 98 installed and what I am doing is just go to the shut down menu,sellect 'Restart under DOS' and then find my .exe file and run it. I tried to use GetTickCount() but I was taken link errors(not compiler errors) when building the .exe file.So the next thing I am going to try is to use time() function as you suggested. Thank you very much for your help.

The function is clock() in <time.h>. It returns the number of clock ticks since program start. To determine the execution time in seconds divide the value returned by clock by the value of the macro CLK_TCK which defines the number of
clock ticks per second.

how to terminate the loop containing scanf?

int i;

for ( i= 0; ; i++) {
if (scanf("%s",a[i]) == -1) break;

}

//ctrl-d or z do not work! Confused | :confused:

Does it have to be scanf()? Otherwise you could gets(), which terminates at Ctrl+Z:

int i = 0;
char a[10][10];

while (gets(a[i]) != NULL) {
i++;
}

Yes. If you don't want to wait for enter, you should read one character at a time, e.g. getchar().

Example from MSDN:

/* GETC.C: This program uses getchar to read a single line<br />
 * of input from stdin, places this input in buffer, then<br />
 * terminates the string before printing it to the screen.<br />
 */<br />
<br />
#include <stdio.h><br />
<br />
void main( void )<br />
{<br />
   char buffer[81];<br />
   int i, ch;<br />
<br />
   printf( "Enter a line: " );<br />
<br />
   /* Read in single line from "stdin": */<br />
   for( i = 0; (i < 80) &&  ((ch = getchar()) != EOF) <br />
                        && (ch != '\n'); i++ )<br />
      buffer[i] = (char)ch;<br />
<br />
   /* Terminate string with null character: */<br />
   buffer[i] = '\0';<br />
   printf( "%s\n", buffer );<br />
}

Place Graphic at top right of menu like Internet Explorer

I've looked all over to try and find an example of how to place a graphic in the top right of a menu like Internet Explorer but haven't been too sucessful. The closest I came was an article on Code Project, Insert Your Logo between caption bar and menu bar http://www.codeproject.com/menu/menuicon.asp. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction or provide example code on how to do so.

Thanks

That logo is actually a tiny rebar band, with its styles set to make it not resize. If you want a graphic in a real menu bar (not a rebar band that looks like a menu), you can put an item at the right end of your menu, give it the owner-draw and help styles, and it'll appear at the right side of the menu bar.
