I hate to be slow, but could you give an example of the RegCreateKeyEx (I've not looked at the others). One of the "out" parameters confuses me.
Thanks,

Never use KEY_ALL_ACCESS! If you do, the call will fail on NT if the user is not admin. If you need full read/write privs, use KEY_READ|KEY_WRITE instead.

Ok, it's all looking good and better. I used Michel Dunn's idea. So this is my code:
HKEY hKey;
DWORD dwDisposition;
RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,"Software",0,"",REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE,KEY_READ|KEY_WRITE , NULL,&hKey,&dwDisposition);
AfxGetApp()->WriteProfileString("Cloaked Chat", "Test", "Test");
RegCloseKey(hKey);
</code>
It all compiles error free, but do I need to set some values for the "hKey" and "dwDispostion"? When I ran the above code, nothing happened. Shouldn't it have made a folder called test with the string "test" inside the folder "Cloaked Chat" of the software folder?
Thanks,

Hi.
I have a class derived from CDialog for a dialog box. I implement a worker thread. I would like to post and/or send messaged directly to the dialog box class instead of going to main frame first. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Kuphryn

|

|

Okay.
I called PostMessage() with m_hWnd. However, the compile responded with an error that m_hWnd is unknown. What do I pass to PostMessage() such that the dialog class will handle the message?

You don't need to pass an HWND if you are using CWnd::PostMessage.
You need a pointer to your CDialog derived class, say m_pDlg.
Now simply do this :-
m_pDlg->PostMessage(message,wparam,lparam);

Thanks in advance for any help. I am trying to create an ATL server using the example "Building an Office2K COM addin with VC++/ATL". I am having a problem with the imports. Here is my stdafx.h:
// stdafx.h : include file for standard system include files,
// or project specific include files that are used frequently,
// but are changed infrequently
#if !defined(AFX_STDAFX_H__613C434D_55D9_45D2_937E_C26FA13D3F22__INCLUDED_)
#define AFX_STDAFX_H__613C434D_55D9_45D2_937E_C26FA13D3F22__INCLUDED_
#if _MSC_VER > 1000
#pragma once
#endif // _MSC_VER > 1000
#define STRICT
#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0400
#endif
#define _ATL_APARTMENT_THREADED
#include <atlbase.h>
//You may derive a class from CComModule and use it if you want to override
//something, but do not change the name of _Module
extern CComModule _Module;
#include <atlcom.h>
//{{AFX_INSERT_LOCATION}}
#import "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office10\mso.dll" rename_namespace("Office") named_guids
using namespace Office;
#import "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSWORD.olb" rename("ExitWindows", "WordExitWindows"), named_guids, raw_interfaces_only
using namespace Word;
// Microsoft Visual C++ will insert additional declarations immediately before the previous line.
#endif // !defined(AFX_STDAFX_H__613C434D_55D9_45D2_937E_C26FA13D3F22__INCLUDED)
Unfortunately, I keep getting the error message:
StdAfx.obj : fatal error LNK1179: invalid or corrupt file: duplicate comdat "_IID_CanvasShapes"
Any ideas what I need to do to fix this problem? I am new to ATL but I was thinking the "using namespace Word" should have taken care of any duplicates. I used the article as an example because I am not using Outlook, instead I am using MS Word. Any thoughts?

Hi,
I have recently been working on my first big C++ application, and it has quite a lot of persistent Registry entries.
Anyway, when I want to know an app setting, I am doing AfxGetApp()->GetProfileXXX... to get the setting.
My question is this: is it slower to keep calling that function or to hive off the settings and keep updating that hive if the settings are changed?
Example #1:
A loop 10,000 times with a Registry call each loop is probably slower than reading the value out and then looping 10,000 times.
Example #2:
An event fires (such as WM_CHAR) that reads a setting and uses it once before the end of the handler. Is this slower than having the external hive?
Input, ideas and peep's programming practices in this field greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Si

I recommend that you read the config settings at program startup and store them somewhere instead of re-querying the registry every time you need a value.

This is what I thought. 
I was just wondering whether AfxGetApp() within MFC did some smart cacheing of values.
I would have thought not, but here's hoping.

|

It's not AfxGetApp() that's slow (trace into it and see), but doing thousands of registry calls is. The registry is a database, and access won't be lightning-quick. As Nish said, read your config into variables at startup, then save it on exit.

Is it possible to copy a parent image and have its children appear in different locations to the parent?
I'm trying to create a side on scrolling shoot-em up and I want to be able to fire five (5) bullets at one time but I don't want to have to write the code 5 times...
GetBulletStartPoint[1];
SetBulletVisible[1];
If(Bullet = OffScreen) AllowNewBullet[1];
etc etc...
Hope this makes sense I can compile what I'e made so far and post on my site if that will help...

No - you will need to draw them all yourself, you can't make a single image redraw itself automagically.
You should be writing it five times though, you should use an array ( maybe as a list ) of Bullet objects and a loop.

Hey all.
I want to be able to display tooltips text in a different codepage from the system's current default codepage (in a non-Unicode OS, such as Windows 98, Windows ME, etc.)
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hey, Im having some trouble with capturing some events in Outlook. I was wondering if anyone had, or could give me an example of how to overide an event such as the "open" event.
Right now I have this...
I derive my class from IDispSimpleEventImpl...
class ATL_NO_VTABLE CDaFun :
public IDispEventSimpleImpl<1,CDaFun,&__uuidof(Outlook::ItemEvents)>
typedef IDispEventSimpleImpl<1, CDaFun, &__uuidof(Outlook::ItemEvents)> ItmEvents;
Then setup a callback...
void __stdcall OnOpenItem(IDispatch* Ctrl, VARIANT_BOOL * CancelDefault);
and then the sinkmap...
SINK_ENTRY_EX(1,__uuidof(Outlook::ItemEvents),0xf003,OnOpenItem)
Now Advising im not sure about. Try to get a pointer to the interface i need. Im not sure if Inspectors is right...
CComQIPtr <outlook::_application> spApp(Application);
CComQIPtr <outlook::_inspectors> spInsp;
spInsp = spApp->Inspectors;
ItmEvents::DispEventAdvise((IDispatch*)spInsp,&__uuido(Outlook::ItemEvents));
The advise fails, so im not how to set that up right. Please help
THanks

I have an ISAPI extension that runs another app when it is finished. This other app needs to have write access to a directory.
How can I run this process as another user?
I have tried CreateProcessWithLogonW but got a link error. I assumed it was because I was not building in unicode. Unfortunately, I don't have a unicode build configuration so forget that.
Is there a way to tell IIS to run a dll as a certain user?

There is the CreateProcessAsUser() API. I haven't used it a lot though - you need to get a security token for the user and pass it in.
Although I might soon try to do just this - have an EXE or a DLL that launches another EXE as a different user. I suppose if you could get that to work directly, you could always have IIS launch a DLL which launches an EXE to run as a different user. 
As for launching a DLL as another user - is that possible? Since a DLL will technically run in the memory space of the executable that calls it, so they are essentially one program - but I'm somewhat ignorant in this regard.
Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

You have to call LogonUser before calling CreateProcAsUser. Not sure I want it to load the profile etc.
Thanks for the reply.

That's XP feature where windows with the same title text get stacked [I think only the first few characters are compared though]

You mean, they minimize to an icon on the desktop, instead of to the taskbar?

Here are the style adjustments I make to a modeless dialog.

I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?
