Both i tried SHGetFolderPath(), or on Vista+ only, SHGetKnownFolderPath().
Both gives administrator profile directory only, if elevated.

What did you use as the fourth argument (i.e., dwFlags) to SHGetFolderPath()?

I used SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT flag that also gives me the elvated users app data path.

Have you tried SHGFP_TYPE_DEFAULT to see if it yields anything different?

Thanks !
I have red the link.
SHGetKnownFolderPath also gives me the admin users appdata path.
Not the currently windows logged in users appdata path.

Hi, my problem is I want to add an array containing some null bytes at the beginning of it, to a std::string like this:
std::string MyString = "\x00\x00\x01\x02";// "It won't copy anything into MyString but...
std::string MyString2 = "\x01\x00\x03"; // Will copy the array includiing the null byte and whats after it.
What should I do? Thanks

I think Ill reply to myself:
There is a constructor for what I want and it is:
string ( const char * s, size_t n );
Anyway, do you think it can give me some kind of problem using std::strings for byte array handling? Thanks

The class is named string, what do you think?
You might want to pick up a copy of Kent Becks book, Implementation Patterns.

Your description is a bit involved. Could you please elaborate and clarify?

For example the program is used for sending a mobile short message when a button is clicked,at the same time, the backstage is used for checking if there is a new short message had come every three minutes.I mean how I deal with the backstage.Set a timer or make a thread?

Since the background operation have to be done in every 3 minutes, timer is inevitable. Your real concern is - which one to use? "Simple mfc message timer" or "thread + timer"? Well, my suggestion is, if your background operation is time consuming, go for Thread+Timer, or else simple WM_TIMER message will do, since it won't block the GUI.
Regards,
Jijo.

Does anyone know of a wrapper to CProgressCtrl that accepts __int64 values?
|
|
|
|
|
Seeing how the progress control can only show progress one pixel at a time, and the win32 progress bar control already has a range of 0 to 65535 (a short) which is way more than could ever possibly be shown on a display screen, creating a wrapper to accept __int64 values would be fairly simple. Just a little bit of division to get the number into the proper range.
You may be right
I may be crazy

Can you make your range be between 0 and 100 percent?
