The process' name (on NT and above) is, like for any other kernel object, the name passed in the OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES to the NtCreateProcess()native call. Win32 CreateProcess() passes always the EXE name as name of the new process. However there is no way to change the name later on. -- Daniel Lohmann http://www.losoft.de Sorry you misunderstood 6-Jul-02 15:44 6-Jul-02 15:44  Or actually sorry I misspoke...whatever lol. Anyway, for example I have a program file named "abc.exe", I run it, open the windows task manager by hitting "alt-ctrl-del" and find "abc.exe" in the "processes" section(not "applications" section). Now I terminate the program, rename it to "def.exe" and run it, goto task manager processes section and check, its process name is still "abc.exe" even though the file had been renamed to "def.exe" before it was executed, how can I change it? Re: Sorry you misunderstood Daniel Lohmann7-Jul-02 2:27 Daniel Lohmann 7-Jul-02 2:27  Aeh, what? You rename the .exe, run it but it is shown under another name in task manager? Strange. Very, very strange. Absolutely strange Are you sure there isn't a second instance running or another program file of the old name still in the path? -- Daniel Lohmann http://www.losoft.de I'm sure there was not... 7-Jul-02 6:22 7-Jul-02 6:22  There was not another instance running. Yeah that's very, very weird, that's why I'm confused and seeking help here...But now I kinda found out something out, the funny part is that, if I terminate "abc.exe", then rename it to "def.exe", then run it, task manager will still show "abc.exe", if, though, I wait for like a minute after I rename it, then run it, task manager will show "def.exe" properly. Looks like task manager does not update process name immediately... Thanks anyway. Re: I'm sure there was not... Daniel Lohmann7-Jul-02 6:38 Daniel Lohmann 7-Jul-02 6:38  Only to make it clear (if there is anything that could be made clear is this weird thing ): 1) You kill it in taskmanager, it disappears from TMs process list, rename it and run def.exe. Result: TM shows a (new) abc.exe to be running. Right? 2) You do not close your instance of TM, don't you? 3) What operating system/SP are you using? (I tried it on my XP box, but it seems to work well there) -- Daniel Lohmann http://www.losoft.de DES ECB encryption skysurfer5-Jul-02 13:59 skysurfer 5-Jul-02 13:59  I need to decrypt a string with DES-ECB in VC Unfortunately I can't use the CryptoAPI.

Drawing unicode characters using TextOut and CString alibobba5-Jul-02 13:49 alibobba 5-Jul-02 13:49  Hi all - I'm trying to draw a unicode character (in a non-unicode application, i don't want to have to convert to unicode if I don't have to) using TextOut() in my OnPaint() in my CView. If i do this: CString str; str += WCHAR(230); TextOut(..., str); it works fine. The unicode symbol appears properly. But when I try to do it programmatically, using this: CString str; str += WCHAR(someStructure.iSomeNumber); TextOut(..., str); it doesn't work. A normal character (in the 0-256 range) works. Some casting going on there that I dont' understand??? Any ideas? Thanks - A Re: Drawing unicode characters using TextOut and CString Michael Dunn5-Jul-02 17:52 Michael Dunn 5-Jul-02 17:52  CString can only hold one character set, not both. In an ANSI app, CString will only hold ANSI strings, so you'll need to use another class like std::wstring. You'll also need to explicitly call TextOutW() because TextOut is a macro for TextOutA in ANSI builds. --Mike-- Just released - RightClick-Encrypt v1.3 - Adds fast & easy file encryption to Explorer My really out-of-date homepage Sonork-100.19012 Acid_Helm Saving and retrieving from registry Speedy5-Jul-02 12:21 Speedy 5-Jul-02 12:21  Anyone knows Saving and retrieving data from registry?

Re: CDialog doesn't run my init stuff etc. Roger Stewart5-Jul-02 10:01 Roger Stewart 5-Jul-02 10:01  Make sure the project that contains your dialog is the 'Active Project'. You can do this by right-clicking on the project in the FileView and select 'Set As Active Project'. Also, make sure you are running in debug mode instead of release mode. To verify this, select the 'Build' menu then 'Set Active Configuration...'. Make sure your '<project name=""> - WIN32 Debug' is selected and click OK. Reset your breakpoint and hit F5.

Launch application with Windows startup 5-Jul-02 8:28 5-Jul-02 8:28  Hi, I need a small piece of code in VC++ which will enable me to start my application automatically when Windows starts up. I'm okay with both the Startup folder concept as well as the Registry entry under "...\CurrentVersion\Run". The code should work on all versions of Windows (9x/Me/NT/2000/XP). The complimentary code to delete the entry is also required so that the application does not start up when Windows is launched. I'm not very familiar with the registry routines, so am requesting you, the experts, for this.
