If you are familiar with VC6 and the MFC, then you shouldn't have troubles to move to VS 2005. There are some slight changes in the MFC but they are minor. And the IDE is not very difficult to understand once you understand VC6.

Service install problem.

Hi all.

I write service and now I am writing API(I use MFC Dialog form).
This API must install my service, but I have problem with it.
Wen I write:

<br />
  SC_HANDLE schService;<br />
<br />
  <br />
  SC_HANDLE schSCManager;<br />
<br />
  LPQUERY_SERVICE_CONFIG  lpBuf;<br />

<br />
      schService = CreateService(<br />
        schSCManager,<br />
        MYServiceName,<br />
        MYServiceName,<br />
        SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS,<br />
        SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS,<br />
        SERVICE_DEMAND_START,<br />
        SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL,<br />
        "c:\\ntbk2\\src\\service\\small\\debug\\small.exe",<br />
        NULL,<br />
        NULL,<br />
        "",<br />
        NULL,<br />
        NULL);<br />

Compile give me error message.
I include windows.h in my project, but noting. My program can't see thet CreateService() is function or 'LPQUERY_SERVICE_CONFIG' is struct.

I acnt see what I do wrong.
How can I install my service?

Try getting the installed applications list through the registry.
Check HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

This registry key holds some information ( Start->Run fetches commands from here )

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

This registry key also holds information on installed applications ("Open with" dialog fetches application names from here).

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications

Short of searching the entire disk(s), there's no sure-fire way of finding such information. You could look in places like HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths, but those are only as good as the applications themselves. An application is not required to update those registry keys.

Hallo,

Does anyone here know an easy way to change the text of the header of a listCtrl. Till now, I delete all columns and insert them with the new text again. But I think, there should be an easier way Smile | :)

Thanks, Gerhard

Use SetColumn.

An Eg:

LVCOLUMN lvCol = { 0 };
lvCol.mask = LVCF_TEXT;
lvCol.pszText = _T( "Nibu babu thomas" );
 
// Change caption of first column
SetColumn( 0, &lvCol );

Thank's for the example - my text is stored in a CString. And with this it doesn't work (conversion to string doesn't help).

But it works with a code like this:

	<br />
char othertext[100];<br />
sprintf(othertext, "%s", text);<br />
lvc.pszText = othertext;<br />

Am I crazy to do so???? Unsure | :~

Yes!!

What about...

lvc.pszText = text;

Either way text is a string right?

Well if you have want to have strings that contain number then it's quite ok...

sprintf( othertext, "Column number: %d", 1 );
lvc.pszText = othertext;
