Due to poor network connection, sometimes the page does not fully load when I call Navigate. My code performs certain task after the entire page has done loading. Does anyone know if there is a default timeout for Navigate? If not, is there an elegant way to wait for a while before I call Navigate again? I could create a thread to monitor if my OnDocumentComplete function has been called but I am hoping for another way.
|
|
|
|
|
I am answering my own post but I don't think starting a thread and checking to see whether the page has done loading periodically will work because the Navigate call is single-threaded.
|
|
|
|
|
Try this
BOOL m_bReady = 0;
BSTR bsStatus;
CString str;
m_pBrowser->Navigate2(vaURL,null,null,null,null) ;
while(!m_bReady)
{
m_pBrowser->get_StatusText(&bsStatus);
mStr = bsStatus;
if(mStr == "Done") m_bReady=1;
}

Thanks for the reply. But as I was trying to say with my second post, the browser functions are single-threaded so the while-loop will go into an infinite loop since Navigate2 won't get a chance to run. As far as I know, the only way to check if the page has finished loading or not is to write a call-back function.

I am creating an appcation on Vista,which include a service and an application .
(i am a new comer)
In my service i am creating an event and waits for that event.In application i am opening the same event and calling setevent function(problem starts here). In service ,its not getting the setevent notification.i searched in the net and saw something about integrity level.its telling that service and applicaation got differnt integrity level.
So it will be very helpfull if you tell how to do the IPC between a service and an application in Vista
Thanks in advance

Can you show the code you use to create the event (both sides)?
Also how are you checking if the event is signaled in the service?

here the service creates the event and wait for the event to occur.
using WaitForSingleObject ,i am checking in the service as shown bellow
service
DWORD
WINAPI IpcThread(LPVOID lpParam)
{
HANDLE ghRequestEvent = NULL ;
ghRequestEvent = CreateEvent(NULL, FALSE,
FALSE, "Global\\Role_Set") ; //creating the event
if(NULL == ghRequestEvent)
{
//error
}
while(1)
{
WaitForSingleObject(ghRequestEvent, INFINITE) //waiting for the event
//here some action related to event
}
}
Application
Here in application ,opening the event and seting the event
unsigned int
event_notification()
{
HANDLE ghRequestEvent = NULL ;
ghRequestEvent = OpenEvent(SYNCHRONIZE|EVENT_MODIFY_STATE, FALSE, "Global\\Role_Set") ;
if(NULL == ghRequestEvent)
{
//error
}
SetEvent(ghRequestEvent) ;
}
this is the code i wrote.waiting for your responce
Thanks & Regards

Does it work if you use
ghRequestEvent = OpenEvent(EVENT_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, "Global\\Role_Set") ;
instead?
If not, is OpenEvent() succeeding?

Thanks Mr.Mark Salsbery for showing the intrest and helping me.
Yes i changed accordingly (i used "Global" in both application.please see the updated code).
The error i am getting in console application (where i am opening the event) is error no 5(Access is denied. ) .
i am running both application(serivce and console application) with administrative privilege (i logged in as Administraor and running the console application by right clicking and using the option "run as administrator") .
i am looking forward for your reply
Thanks & Regards

You may want to look carefully at the event access rights.
You don't need EVENT_ALL_ACCESS.
EVENT_MODIFY_STATE is the only access your app needs.
You certainly shouldn't have to run with elevated privileges just
to get a handle to a global event object

I have tried that way also ( SYNCHRONIZE | EVENT_MODIFY_STATE ,etc ),i am getting the same error 5.

I don't know what you have going on.
I just tried the following on Vista (not running elevated)...
HANDLE ghRequestEvent = ::CreateEvent(NULL, FALSE, FALSE, _T("Global\\Role_Set")) ;
if(NULL == ghRequestEvent)
{
return;
}
::WaitForSingleObject(ghRequestEvent, INFINITE);
::CloseHandle(ghRequestEvent);
HANDLE ghRequestEvent = ::OpenEvent(EVENT_MODIFY_STATE, FALSE, _T("Global\\Role_Set"));
if(NULL == ghRequestEvent)
{
DWORD dwErr = ::GetLastError();
return;
}
::SetEvent(ghRequestEvent);
::CloseHandle(ghRequestEvent);
Worked fine first try.

Is the first application a service ?

No, but I'll test that as well - I'll get back to you shortly
on that
What account is your service running under?
Also, I used OpenEvent( EVENT_MODIFY_STATE, not OpenEvent( SYNCHRONIZE|EVENT_MODIFY_STATE.

OK got it. Here's code that works on Vista with the event
created in a service:
SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR sd = {0};
::InitializeSecurityDescriptor(&sd, SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_REVISION);
::SetSecurityDescriptorDacl(&sd, TRUE, 0, FALSE);
SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES sa = {0};
sa.nLength = sizeof(SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES);
sa.lpSecurityDescriptor = &sd;
HANDLE ghRequestEvent = ::CreateEvent(&sa, FALSE, FALSE, _T("Global\\Role_Set")) ;
if(NULL == ghRequestEvent)
{
return;
}
::WaitForSingleObject(ghRequestEvent, INFINITE);
::CloseHandle(ghRequestEvent);
HANDLE ghRequestEvent = ::OpenEvent(EVENT_MODIFY_STATE, FALSE, _T("Global\\Role_Set"));
if(NULL == ghRequestEvent)
{
return;
}
::SetEvent(ghRequestEvent);
::CloseHandle(ghRequestEvent);
I would expect OpenEvent() to return NULL with GetLastError returning an access
denied error but instead it returns a valid handle that does nothing when you use it.
SetEvent() succeeds as well. 
Hopefully that will work for you

I'm working on an antivirus software application. I would like to know how can we send or install the updates to the client systems through sever system remotely using VC++ and COM. Is it possible without using COM??? I'm working on VC7.1

Please read the guidelines[^]. If you pin point a specific technical problem and ask how to solve it, someone may answer you.
But with this question, there won't be much of luck.

Thanks Rajesh for reminding me the guidelines however I truly feel that my question is straight forward. i would like to know how can we send or install the updates to the client systems through sever system remotely using VC++ and COM.I did try using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) however i realized that with WMI we can see the process in the client sever but we can't install the updates. I hope you had got some idea about what i required and i'm quite sure that you would come out with some good solution.

I would agree on the fact that the question is pretty much straight forward. I meant to tell that you have not even decided on an approach on how to go about it. But if the approach is what you wanted opinions on, then fair enough.
You mentioned that you wouldn't want to use COM in your original post, so you could try sockets? It does not look like a good idea if installation or some kind of 'push' activity happens from the server side. This design could be troublesome, as the client may not be ready all the time.
A better approach would be to make the client 'poll' for updates on a regular interval. If there is an update available, the client could request a download from the server, get it and do a ShellExecute() or something, as per the design to apply the latest updates.
This way, the user would get an option to specify when should the updates happen.
