Because the OP is wanting to overwrite the data and thus prevent the file from being undeleted later. IIRC, there was a tool in the 'Norton Tools' set that did just this.
They've obviously never seen a computer forensics expert recover data from a hard drive by tweaking the controller board's currents

Is opening the file in WIN32 a problem to you. You can use simple FILE * to read/write to the file.
kamalesh82 wrote: read each line from it
Use fgets, fgetc etc as per your preference.
kamalesh82 wrote: after reading all the line i've to replace each char in the file with a random number
Why so? You can read a line and change the character values simultaneously.For this you can create a temporary file in your applications directory and keep on writing that random data in the temp file. When you are done with the reading of the file you can first delete the original file and then rename the temp file.

BOOL DeleteFile(
LPCTSTR lpFileName
);
Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Are you trying to write your own PGP Wipe?
If you decide to become a software engineer, you are signing up to have a 1/2" piece of silicon tell you exactly how stupid you really are for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week

How are you going to guarantee that the system writes the random bytes over the original bytes on
the disk??

i just want "secure deletion"... if i just delete , the data used in the file is very much recoverable, untill the same space of the hard disc is overwritten( as the space is holding the data)... that's y i need to change every char in the file by a random generated numbers

Right I understand but using regular file APIs you have no gaurantee that your random data will
be written back to the disk at the same spot. The "old" data could (and most likely WILL) be able
to still be seen on the hard drive for an indefinite amount of time. To really pull this off I'm
pretty sure you need to work with the disk at a lower level than file APIs.

Hi again,
Simple question: will the function ExitWindowsEx() restart Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Server without user actions.
i.e.
<code>
ExitWindowsEx(EWX_REBOOT,NULL);
</code>

It depend on how applications running on it respond to WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION messages.
You can forcible restart by combining EWX_FORCE or EWX_FORCEIFHUNG as first parameter.

Take a look at CF_BITMAP in MSDN for more information.

Hi all,
I would like to know if someone could give me some advise about monitoring a computers memory i.e. if the computer runs out of resources I want to restart the computer, (but only if the memory resource are insuffient).
Would it be a good idea to use the function QueryMemoryResourceNotification(), or is there another function I not aware of. 
Thanx in advance

 A activex control was created that gets called through a php page with ms word 2003 embeded in a dialog box, in the activex control.
a tool bar is also created in the derivation of MyDialog::OnInitDialog() with some buttons in the dialog box like this:
if (!m_ToolBar.Create(this, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_TOP | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY) || !m_ToolBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_MAINFRAME))
{
TRACE0("Failed to create toolbar\n");
return -1; // fail to create
}
// Move the toolbar so it is VISIBLE on the screen.
CRect rc;
GetClientRect(&rc);
rc.bottom = rc.top + 34;
rc.bottom = rc.left + 30;
m_ToolBar.MoveWindow(&rc);
m_ToolBar.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
RepositionBars(AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_FIRST, AFX_IDW_CONTROLBAR_LAST, 0);
EnableToolTips(true); //enable tool tips
//////////////////in its message map i'm calling OnToolTipNotify////////
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CDlgDocument, CDialog)
ON_NOTIFY_EX_RANGE(TTN_NEEDTEXTW, 0, 0xFFFF, OnToolTipNotify)
ON_NOTIFY_EX_RANGE(TTN_NEEDTEXTA, 0, 0xFFFF, OnToolTipNotify)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
///////declaration of OnToolTipNotify in the 'void MyDialog:public CDialog'///
afx_msg BOOL OnToolTipNotify(UINT id, NMHDR *pNMHDR,LRESULT *pResult);
///////////and definitition of OnToolTipNotify is://////
BOOL CDlgDocument::OnToolTipNotify(UINT id, NMHDR *pNMHDR,LRESULT *pResult)
{
// need to handle both ANSI and UNICODE versions of the message
TOOLTIPTEXTA* pTTTA = (TOOLTIPTEXTA*)pNMHDR;
TOOLTIPTEXTW* pTTTW = (TOOLTIPTEXTW*)pNMHDR;
TCHAR szFullText[256];
CString strTipText;
UINT nID = pNMHDR->idFrom;
if (pNMHDR->code == TTN_NEEDTEXTA && (pTTTA->uFlags & TTF_IDISHWND) ||
pNMHDR->code == TTN_NEEDTEXTW && (pTTTW->uFlags & TTF_IDISHWND))
{
// idFrom is actually the HWND of the tool
nID = ::GetDlgCtrlID((HWND)nID);
}
if (nID != 0) // will be zero on a separator
{
// don't handle the message if no string resource found
if (AfxLoadString(nID, szFullText) == 0)
return FALSE;
// this is the command id, not the button index
AfxExtractSubString(strTipText, szFullText, 1, '\n');
}
#ifndef _UNICODE
if (pNMHDR->code == TTN_NEEDTEXTA)
lstrcpyn(pTTTA->szText, strTipText, _countof(pTTTA->szText));
else
_mbstowcsz(pTTTW->szText, strTipText, _countof(pTTTW->szText));
#else
if (pNMHDR->code == TTN_NEEDTEXTA)
_wcstombsz(pTTTA->szText, strTipText, _countof(pTTTA->szText));
else
lstrcpyn(pTTTW->szText, strTipText, _countof(pTTTW->szText));
#endif
*pResult = 0;
return TRUE; // message was handled
}
i've tried most of the ideas on the net but couldn't view the tool tip.
kindly help me out how tool tips can be displayed for the tool bar
buttons?
note: the activex control is executing in the internet explorer 6.0.

CEdit has SetSel() method. Use this method to select the text. To select the entire content in use SetSel as,
SetSel(0, -1)

Hi,
I wish to the set focus in an edit box by calling another function. Currently I am using SetFocus() but I find that the default text is not highlighted, instead the cursor is at the beginning of the text box. I was wondering how I can get the default text highlighted in the text box when I use my function.
Thank you for any suggestions .
