What kind of program is it ? Was it planned to be cross-platform ? If no, then as far as I know you can't do that. But it all depends of the program itself. If it is a simple console application that doesn't use any linux API, then it is cross-platfrom. If it is a program that display a GUI for instance using the Linux API, then it won't work.

cygwin is great.

I was using to compile a 3d game. For the past two days i was sitting on this.
The only problem is initial setting up of the libraries and headers and then too download the cygwin packages you require.

hi iam doing a project with my friends, and its about find the posbile path of the linklist

and one of the function is wrong

i got the struct

struct node
{
int v1;
int v2;
int w;
}first;

struct node[] *findposibility(int index) // is this wrong the way i call the node
{
struct node *curr;
struct node *a[5];
curr = first;
int i = 0;

while(curr->next != NULL)
{
if(index = curr->v1)
{
a[i] = cur;
i++;
}
curr == curr->next;
}
return a;
}
thanks

Where's the "next" member of node?

There's several problems involving uninitialized variables and your function definition.

What are you trying to do?

One way to get your code to compile is like this (changes in red):

struct node
{
   int v1;
   int v2;
   int w;
   struct node *next;
} first;
 
struct <code>node **</code>findposibility(int index) 
{
   struct node *curr = <code>&</code>first;
   <code>static</code> struct node *a[5];
   int i = 0;
 
   while(curr->next != NULL)
   {
      if(index <code>==</code> curr->v1)
      {
         a[i] = curr;
         i++;
      }
      curr <code>=</code> curr->next;
   }
   return a;
}

There's still a couple problems:
1) first is not initialized
2) Is 5 the max number of hits you will ever encounter?

That's the only way to "return a;" safely. If "a" is not static then it is a temporary variable
that only exists (its scope) in this case for the life of the function. If you return it, and
it doesn't exist after returning, then that's quite a problem.

Hi, I'm having a hard time with MultiColumn listbox's. I'm trying to Create a Multi Column ListBox that basically displays continually changing data. So I'd like title buttons for each column, and then in each column the data that appears needs to be updated continuously. How do i do this?

By the way. I'm using VC++ 6.0. I know how to make the ListBox, I just don't know how to create titles for each column. Or atleast how to add/edit data to each column would be helpful.

How to get Logged in user name using my own windows service application

anumadhu30-Mar-07 3:34

30-Mar-07 3:34

Hello,

I am developing a windows service in VC++.Net2005 on windows XP.
I want the end product should be portable to all the windows OS(atleast to win98,Me,2K,XP and Vista).

In my windows service (which runs on Local System means as System's service), there is a requirement to access the current login user name. To get that i am using the GetUserName() of win32 API, but with this, i am only getting the Login-name as "SYSTEM" ( probably because of the reason that, my windows service is running in System's area(local system)).

Is it feasible to get the current login name instead of getting the user in which the my windows service is running. If possible.. any clues..

Thank you

Anee

Now, im not sure, but maybe this might work..
getenv("USERNAME");

(It gets the USERNAME value, which also can be seen by doing set in cmd (where loads of other values are))

Be very careful doing this. There are a number of issues that you must address. What if the user hasn't signed on yet? What if you have two users logged on at the same time and they are going back and forth using Fast User Switching? What if the user logs off?

Hello friends...

Thanks for your comments. I am taking help from the following article provided with Codeproject:

http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/Windows_Service.asp

What i understand from this is, we can have access to the WMI. This WMI shows all the information regarding the various processes running in machine. As i want to get the username in which i am currently logged-in, So, i am using the Win32_Process (which gives the name of process explorer... and the substring of, name of process explorer contains the currently logged-in username(eg.. user_nameprocess.exe) . Using string operations... i am trying to extract that particular username part of the process explorer name.

Now,Taking help of this, i have added System.Management reference to my project (VC++.NET/windows XP) and then i got two files namely ROOT.CIMV2.Win32_Process.h/cpp with my project name. And in the ROOT.CIMV2.Win32_Process.cpp contains following lines of code:

#include Stdafx.h
#include ROOT.CIMV2.Win32_Process.h

After this i added System refrence through the project properties.

But while building this project, i am getting some errors in these new files ROOT.CIMV2.Win32_Process.h/cpp.

and command line options are:

C/C++ Command line options:

the hkey_local_machine is available from registry.. you can HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon for current logged on user + plus you need to write Winlogon Notification Package for same!

Hi
I am using the following function to use the xp themes in my property page
EnableThemeDialogTexture(m_hWnd,ETDT_ENABLETAB);

The dialog looks fine when its size is small but as I increase the length of the dialog the "gradient fill" of the background seems to be tiled? Is there any way of getting rid of tiling and have a smooth gradient fill background, without drawing it all by my self?

Only the newly-exposed portion of the background gets repainted during the resize.
You may need to foce the entire background to be redrawn in response to WM_SIZE.
