Use Win32_PhysicalMedia class of WMI to get the hard disk serial number.

Without further info I do not realy understand your problem, but, the general procedure is:
Step 1. You should know the fully qualified name of the file you want to read i.e.: CString MyFile="C:\MyDirectory\MyData\DataFile.ext". If you type that as a string in your code(bad Idea, but not your immediate problem) you should type all backslashes double. i.e.:CString MyFile="C:\\MyDirectory\\MyData\\DataFile.ext".
Step 2;
You Open the file, and get a File Handle:
FILE* F =fopen(MyFile,"rb"); The "rb" means that you want to open the file for binary reading, (as opposed to Text Reading, which should be opened for reading with just "r")
Step 3: You find out how big the file is. You move the File Pointer to the End of the File, and ask where it is.
size_t CurPos=ftell(F);// Record the File Pointer
fseek(F,0,SEEK_END)
size_t FileSize=ftell(F);
fseek(F,CurPos,SEEK_SET);// Returns the FilePointer to where it was
Step 4:
Allocate a buffer to hold the File Contents
char* Buf=(char*)malloc(FileSize);
Step 5:
Ensure that there was enough free memory left to Allocate the Buffer
if(Buf==NULL) return ERR_OUT_OF_MEM;
Step 6:
Read the File into the Buffer
fread(Buf,FileSize,sizeof(char),F);
step 7:
Close the File. This is most important, Noone Else can work with the file while you have it open, Even yourself cannot open it a second time.
Step 8:
The contents of your file is now in Buf. Do with it as you like.
Step 9:
When You're done with it, you should 'free' Buf. Unlike say VB, C++ has NO garbage collection service. It is up to you to get rid of memory you no longer need.

Is GetCursorPos()[^] what you're looking for?

yes it is..
i tried using
POINT pos;
GetCursorPos(&pos);
int x=pos.x;
int y=pos.y;
but when i compile it appear is error.
Compiling...
SetCursorPos.c

Looks like you're missing windows.h.
You may want to use the project wizard to build a Win32 project for you.
Then you'll have a good starting point with the basic required header files
included.

thx mark..
but i had a new error.
coding:
#include "wcplib2.h"

using namespace std;
CorOpRtn myCo_SetCursorPos(CorObj *In, CorObj *Out)
{
POINT pos;
GetCursorPos(&pos);
int x=pos.x;
int y=pos.y;
return COR_OP_OK;
}
Error:
Compiling...

The error message says it - you'll need to be compiling for C++
to use eh.h
Renaming the source file with a .cpp extension is probably enough.
If not, the /TP compiler option will do it. You can set this for
a project in the project properties/C/C++/Advanced section.

Hi,
I am creating a class for a dialog that can be used either in modal or modeless form, and I would like to use them both at the same time in a dialog-based app.
The complication is that the modal form and the modeless form use different resources (modal form has an 'OK' and 'Cancel' button, modeless does not) wondering if it's possible to use them in the same application since VS2005 puts the following line in CDialog-derived classes:
[code]
// Dialog Data
enum { IDD = IDD_DX9MATERIAL_DIALOG };
[/code]
which seems to tie the class to the dialog, no? Is it not possible to the use the same class for two dialogs? Or should I just create another version of the class for the two types of docs?
Thanks - @LRG

Yes. It's only source code....feel free to alter it for your own use
The IDD is used only one place by default - it is passed to the CDialog
constructor. With a little modification you can pass whatever resource ID
you want to the base class.
Another alternative in this case, is to use one resource and show or hide the two
buttons depending on if the dialog is used modal or modeless.

Kaboom! That's why you're the MVP... and I'm just glad we're on the same team.
Thanks Mark, I will implement that.

Heh - nah....I took it more as an expression -
same thing as "I'm glad we aren't enemies" or "glad we're
not working against each other"
