There is a setting in the control panel -> Power Options-> Power schemes tab, for setting Stanby and Hibernate time. i.e. after what unit of time the system should go into stand-by state and similar combo box is also present for hibernate state.
I have tried to use the API GetCurrentPowerPolicies(). In this a structure is filled for POWER_POLICY->MACHINE_POWER_POLICY. In that accoding to MSDN values for stand-by and hibernate should get filled , but it does not.
I am getting the time for disk spindown and video time out and also the Poer Scheme, but I am not getting the standy-by and hibernate time.
Can anyone of you tell me how to obtain the standby and hibernate time.

I'm trying to get VC6 to use the Windows Debug Symbols, but VC6 does not load them from the installed location (c:\windows\Symbols\...).
I have setup the _NT_SYMBOL_PATH to point to the proper dir.
I have tried putting some directories in the PATH: c:\windows;c:\windows\Symbols;c:\windows\Symbols\Dll.
Neither is successfull with VC6 (But WndDbg is loading symbols alright).
OTOH when I copy the .PDB to the same directory as the DLL they match VC6 happily loads them symbols.
What's going on?
Is there some setting in the VC6 environment that I should have made?
If it matters then I am on WinXP, with VC6 SP5 applied.

VC6 loads only .dbg file from _NT_SYMBOL_PATH not .pdb. There was a kb article about it.
|
|
|
|
|
Does this mean that there is no way that VC6 will find .pdb files for for example kernel32.dll, EXCEPT if the kernel32.PDB is placed in the same directory as kernel32.dll?
Do you have some info about the KB article? I tried searching for variations over the following words: VC6 VC PDB DBG _NT_SYMBOL_PATH...

This is a new one. I didn't know about the "pdb dirs" regkey. So thank you!!

I would like to do this in GDI+:
Create graphics object;
Write a string to it;
Get a GIF representation of the graphics object.
Is this possible?

Damn right it is! I'd like to thank you by the way for the tutorials. Getting started on a new technology is always difficult at first.

Hi all,
I would like to make a program which converts normal text to a gif. What technologies should I be looking at? GDI? GDI+?
I am looking for something lightweight and fast.
Thanks,
James

You'll need to find a library that can create a .GIF file. You can either try and find the spec and code it yourself, or find a third-party library that does that kind of conversion. Beware though, that unless you have a license from Unisys (I think that's who owns the patent on the compression used in .GIF format), your code will technically be illegal!
No generalization is 100% true.
Not even this one.

it would only be illegal if it's used commercially

"Unisys has frequently been asked whether a Unisys license is required in order to use LZW software obtained by downloading from the Internet or from other sources. The answer is simple. In all cases, a written license agreement or statement signed by an authorized Unisys representative is required from Unisys for all use, sale or distribution of any software (including so-called "freeware") and/or hardware providing LZW conversion capability (for example, downloaded software used for creating/displaying GIF images). "
this is from the Unisys website. (they've moved the pages and now i can't find the page i got this from, though it was there like two weeks ago). note that this is a change in their position from earlier times (pre-1995), when they did allow non-commercial use.
see burnallgifs and "A Software Developer's Perspective" for some interesting reading.

i don't know. i haven't seen anything that talks about it. but, if you're using the program to do something that ends up in public (like, using the code on a webserver to generate a web page hit counter, for example), then it's not really "personal" use.
save yourself the hassle, just use the PNG format. it compresses as well or better than GIF, is more flexible, has no patent concerns; the basic flavors are supported on all browsers.

Hi,
I have a listbox (CListCtrl, report style), and I feed it with data. If its contents gets too large, a scrollbar appears on the right side.
Under some circumstances, when removing some items again, empty rows rest in the control. I do not know if it has to do something with the scrollbar (e.g. only if it disappears or so).
Any suggestions ?
A bug ?
Any equal experiences ?
Heard about it already?
On the internet I found some equal situation:
Anybody aware of bug in CListCtrl
CListCtrl funny stuff (bug or incorrect use?)

I like to connect to a certain port of server on Internet. For this purpose my application uses the well known function of WinSock API, connect() having prototype :
int connect( SOCKET s,
const struct sockaddr FAR *name,
int namelen
);
But, before i use this function, i have to populate "struct sockaddr" about the port and address of server. right !!
Suppose, my client application is running on a machine behind a firewall eg SOCKS. Then please tell me how can i connect to server under this condition.
I shall be thankful if you explain me clearly or write some example pseudocode. There is an example present at CP, but it is not too good to understand and it uses MFC Socket Classes.

Sorry Nish, yo didn't get my question
I know very well how to connect to server. What i want to ask is that if firewall present at client side then how can we connect to server.

Why does all functions that you export get so wird name?
I exported ShowPopUp() from my DLL and when I "View dependencies" it had name ?ShowPopUp@@YAXXZ.
Is there a way to get the "real" name there!?
Today wasn't my day for writing English, so... hope you understand! (as you allways do)

The compiler mangles function names to support overloading!
Thus if you have void Abc(int) and void Abc(char*) obviously the compiler will have to use two different names.
