What you want is not achieved by adjusting the USB driver.

Stuart is right. You need to learn how to use ACL's if you want to control access to the files and folders on the USB drive.

i didn't understand how the ACL will help here

Since you are wanting to control access to the device, an Access Control List/Entry will help.

Iam trying to hook to a window.This window has tab controle in it.In one the page ,ocx is placed.This ocx opens word document using automation.
I want to hook to this word document.Iam getting parent window,then enumerating all child windows till I get the word document.Then, hook to it.Now i want to get cursor position in it.Not able to get proper cursor position.

Please help to get cursor position in child window.
Also Not able to set word document window as foreground window.

You can get the current cursor position in screen coordinates using GetCursorPos[^].
You can then convert that to window relative coordinates using ScreenToClient[^].

Hello,

I want to create a static library using .net 2008 Framework 3.5 and export a function.
In order to call this function from a vc6 enviroment what project type I should use on the .net Enviroment and how should I call this function from vc6 application?
I would appreciate if you could send me a short code of both sides(.net,vc6) Smile

Thanks in advance...

Hi,

in my application was having double space after the toolbar..

i.e., after file menu, there is more gap to the child window.. where do we usually adjust this height??

thanks,

Could you please stop spamming the forum ? You posted this 1/2 hour ago. And, as a side note, your question is not clear at all. May I suggest you read the posting guidelines before posting again (this is the message at the top of this forum).

It would be really helpful if you could provide some sort of screen shot exhibiting the problem.

Hello!

I am using a C51 compiler for a microcontroller (so not visual studio)

I am trying to convert a long int variable to a char*, using C-specific functions (no atoi and the rest)

long Value="1234";
char String[15];
sprintf(String,"%d",Value);

This puts in "String" the value "0".

If I make Value of type integer, it works. What seems to be the problem ?
Are there any (other) functions to help me do this ?

Where can I find the source code for ltoa and the family, to declare it ?

Thanks,
Shpid3r

try:

sprintf(String,"%ld",Value);

(that's a lowercase "L" - for "long")

atoi and the rest are all ANSI C functions.

How does this even compile ? You are trying to assign a string (yes, "1234" is actually a string) to a long. You should at least get a warning here...
Try without the double quotes:

long Value = 1234;

:ashamed of myself: $Shucks | :-\$
I didn`t paste the code, just reproduced it here, and in the hurry I put the quotes...
Of course it won`t compile with them Smile | :)

Great, %ld" works!
Thanks! I spent the last 3h trying to figure this out ... I should have asked sooner!

Regards!

Just FYI - I'm guessing that (unlike VC++), the C51 compiler has 16-bit ints, which are smaller than longs? And that the C51 is a big-endian chip? WHich would explain the zero result.

Hi,

I have a program that uses a COM object. At somepoint I try to release the object. After I do the release process, I can see using Process Explorer that the ActiveX DLL is still in memory.

My code is below. Am I doing something wrong? Why is the DLL still in memory?
ComReleaseTest.DLL is a test VB ActiveX DLL I wrote to debug this problem. It does nothing - all it has is one test sub which I am not even calling.

<br />
#include "stdafx.h"<br />
<br />
#import "..\ProductTree\winpos\drv32\ComReleaseTest.dll" no_namespace<br />
<br />
_CComReleaseTestPtr m_Srv;<br />
<br />
int Close();<br />
void ReleaseObject();<br />
<br />
int main(int argc, char* argv[])<br />
{<br />
	HRESULT hResult;<br />
<br />
	try<br />
	{	<br />
		if ( TRUE )<br />
		{<br />
			hResult = CoInitialize( NULL );<br />
<br />
			if ( hResult != S_OK )<br />
			{<br />
				return 1;<br />
			}<br />
		}<br />
<br />
		HRESULT hr = m_Srv.CreateInstance(__uuidof( CComReleaseTest ), NULL, CLSCTX_ALL);<br />
		if (FAILED(hr))<br />
			_com_issue_error(hr);<br />
    }<br />
	catch(_com_error& e)<br />
	{<br />
		return (1);<br />
    }<br />
<br />
	Close();<br />
<br />
	return (0);<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
int Close()<br />
{<br />
	long Result = 0;<br />
<br />
	if ( m_Srv != NULL )<br />
    {<br />
		TRY<br />
		{<br />
			ReleaseObject();<br />
		}<br />
		CATCH_ALL(e)<br />
		{<br />
			TCHAR sError[255];<br />
			e->GetErrorMessage(sError,255);<br />
		}<br />
		END_CATCH_ALL<br />
	}<br />
<br />
	return ( (short)Result );<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
void ReleaseObject()<br />
{<br />
<br />
	// Disconnect from VB ActiveX<br />
	try<br />
	{<br />
		m_Srv.Release();<br />
	}<br />
	catch(_com_error& e)<br />
	{<br />
	   //<br />
	}<br />
<br />
	free(m_Srv);<br />
	m_Srv.Detach();<br />
	<br />
<br />
	m_Srv = NULL;<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />

The reason I am trying to track this is that I have anotehr program that at somepoint calls an InstallShield 5.5 setup. This setup.exe hangs at 99% and I found that if my program does not call a certain ActiveX then there is no problem with the setup.exe. So I am trying to release that ActiveX before calling setup.exe, but the COM DLL just stays in memory!

The DLL won't get unloaded just because you've disposed of all the objects you got from it. The DLL stays loaded in case you want to create more objects.

You could try using CoFreeUnusedLibraries[^] to unload the DLL (but be aware that CoFreeUnusedLibraries will only work instantly in single-threaded apartments[^].

Thank you very much. You are a genius! Problem solved. Smile | :)

Hi Friends,

I need to add a new item into the context menu we see while we right click on a control panel item and show a message box when user clicks on my item.I just want to display the name of the item on which the user right - clicked in the message box.

Any ideas?

Thanks and regards,
J

All control panel items are actually DLL files that end with a .CPL extension.
To add a menu item to its context menu, you need to create a shell extension.
Look at this tutorial here - The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Shell Extensions - Part I[^]

Hi,

I am making my application unicode supporting one. i face a problem like this now :

i have got some content in *.inf file..

i am unable to read the content of the file using Readfile(..) function.

code snippet:
-----start-------------
TCHAR * inifilecontents;
HANDLE hFile = CreateFile( iniFilePath,GENERIC_READ,FILE_SHARE_READ,NULL,OPEN_EXISTING,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,NULL);

if (hFile != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
DWORD nfile_Size = GetFileSize(hFile, NULL);
if (nfile_size != INVALID_FILE_SIZE)
{
m_nBufferSize = nFileSize + 1;
iniFileContents = new TCHAR[m_nBufferSize];
ZeroMemory(m_pIniFileContents, m_nBufferSize);
DWORD bytestoread = nFileSize;
DWORD bytesread = 0;
-----> BOOL bReadSucceeded = ReadFile(hFile,inifileContents,bytestoread,bytesread,NULL);

----------End---------------------
after executing readfile funcion, inifilecontents are showing contents as "some small BOXES" and not the exact content of inf file....
please guide me on this...

Thanks,
Rakesh

May be because your inf file isn't in unicode format. If so you have to read the content as char* itself and then convert it to unicode string using MultiByteToWideChar() function.
