Hello experts,
I have a project that drive me crazy. I would appreciate if any bony can help/guide me
I have 2 computers both running XP Pro SP2 called PC-A and PC-B.
PC-A is an embedded computer. It has an application to do some specific task. Right now, I have to run it manually and save the results for my other tasks. I do have source for this application.
I have another application on computer PC-B. This application is relying on the results from PC-A which right now I have to enter manually.
These 2 computers are connected via ethernet cable. I do have source for this application as well
I would like to modify the application on PC-B to tell PC-A to run its application and return results to PC-B so PC-B can perform its task automatically.
I don't know where to start.
Please help me out with some direction/links. Example would be perfect
Thanks in advance

install PsService[^] on the calling machine, then use it like this :
psservice \\192.168.0.15 -u the_user -p the_pwd start the_service

How would the data pass back to the calling machine (PC-B)?

|

which data ?
have you tested it ?
here, we use it in all our servers architecture, so, it works well !
if you want more detail about it, maybe you should have a look at the API used by its author :
How it Works
PsService uses the Service Control Manager APIs that are documented in the Platform SDK.

When my MFC application is run, it invokes a dialog. Though I have removed the OK and the cancel button from the dialog my dialog can be dismissed by pressing the esc key. is there a way to prevent the default behaviour of the escape key to be overwritten.
Also i like to dismiss the dialog by posting a message after some time. how to I post a destroy message to the dialog.

Hmm, have forgotten how to do they escape key bit, there's a function in one of the MFC classes your Dialog is deriving from that turns Esc into a WM_CLOSE, you need to override that or prevent it being called, a PreTranslateMessage override might be able to do it.
When it comes to closing the Dialog your best bet is probably to use a timer, MFCs timers are fine and when it goes off use PostMessage to have the dialog send itself a WM_CLOSE. Don't use SendMessage or things may go horribly wrong when you return to run code in a deleted dialog. 
If the dialog closing is conditional then set your timer to a short period, like a 10/th of a second and check the condition. If it's not met just set the timer again.

Override PreTranslateMessage, for instance
BOOL CMyDlg::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
{
if ( pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN )
{
if (pMsg->wParam == VK_ESCAPE)
{
return TRUE;
}
}
return CDialog::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg);
}
BTW probably you'll have also to handle RETURN key.

What about a TIMER?

In this context how do I destroy the window.
|
|
|
|
|
nothing forbids you to overload the WM_CLOSE event or to create your own button which will call EndDialog(IDC_CANCEL) for instance...

Is there any way to find current MMC's version on a system, Does there any "registry key" or win32 API exists to find that?
Thanks,

Well ... What do you think you can do with a virtual constructor?

this question has been asked tons of times.
look in the FAQ please !

What would you expect this constructor to do?
Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Hi,
I have created a com dll for context menu and want to add icon. So could you please tell me how "DefaultIcon" can help me?
I have used SetMenuItemBitmap(), but could not succeed.

I deveplop an application under Windows XP pro editon,
It can't run under Window XP home edition, I copied the dependency dlls with the exe.
why?
|
|
|
|
|
Is this Win XP problem or the vcredist need to be installed in the WinXP HE.
I personally don't prefer the messy way of copying dependency dlls. Try install the appropriate VC redistribute package of your development VS Version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In which version of VC you developed?
web search: Vc redistribute <your vc version>
