I have this code as part of my DllRegisterServer() method:
TCHAR szPath[MAX_PATH];
GetModuleFileName ( g_hinstThisDll, szPath, MAX_PATH );
TCHAR * pdest = _tcsrchr(szPath, _T('\\'));
TCHAR szTemp[MAX_PATH];
_tcsncpy(szTemp, szPath, (size_t) (pdest + 1));
_tcscpy(szPath, szTemp);
_tcscat(szPath, "My.tlb");
When I try to use RegSvr32.exe to register the DLL, I get a message that Windows DEP (Data Execution Protection) has stopped the execution of RegSvr32.exe.
I replaced the above code segment with a constant assignment (snippit follows) and RegSvr32.exe completed successfully:
TCHAR szPath[] = _T("C:\\SomePath\\My.tlb");
I copied the problem code into the main() of a console application and outputted the result, which yielded the intended string. (The console application wasn't under Windows DEP.)
From what little I know of DEP, this code must be doing something with protected memory in order to trip it.
I don't usually use this style of string manipulation - I generally use CString's or .NET's String class. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your code has a bug.
Mike the Red wrote: _tcsncpy(szTemp, szPath, (size_t) (pdest + 1));
What do you expect here as the count parameter?
It is taking the value as an address plus 1.
This is going to be a very big value.
Another example of why typecasting must be avoided.
I wonder how it worked in a console application.
I tried it in a console application and it gave me the DEP error.

Thanks for the quick response, Superman!
That code you quoted (_tcsncpy(szTemp, szPath, (size_t) (pdest + 1));) was copied from the MS help file's example code for _tcsrchr. To be honest, I copied it without careful examination.
What I was expecting for the the count parameter was the index of the last \ in the file path.
GetModuleFileName returns the full path to the .DLL, say "c:\some path\This.DLL". I'm trying to extract the path and change the filename to the type lib's name, for instance "c:\some path\My.tlb".
Now that I re-read the helpfile on _tcsrchr, "Returns a pointer to the last occurrence of c in string, or NULL if c is not found", I actually have no idea how I would make use of this function.
At this point, I would probably manually iterate through the filepath string to find the index of the last \, then pull a substring and concatenate the type lib's filename. Is there a more efficient way to do this with the built-in string manipulation routines?
Thanks again for your help!

You must use _tsplitpath.
In the dir parameter you will get the path minus the filename.
Now you can concatenate the .tlb filename using _tcsncat_s.

I am currently writing an application using C++ and MFC. In this application I would like to be able to convert a string stored in an object of type CString to a C++ int. This string represents a signed integer. It seems to me that there should be a member function of the class CString to do this, but I have been unable to find such a member.
Thanks
Bob

I don't think CString should have a member function to do conversion to int.
CString is meant for dealing with strings.
You can convert using _wtoi like so.
CString cs = L"25";
int i = ::_wtoi(cs);

because there is no such member.
you can also use _ttoi()

How can I distinguish between a hardware CDROM unit and a virtual one? I tried GetDriveType() but it doesn't ditinguish a DaemonTools Virtual unit from a real one.
In VC++ please...

Erm, that's kinda the POINT of things like daemontools. They spend a lot of effort to NOT be distinguishable. As far as the operating system is concerned it is a CDROM drive. Only at the deep driver level does it make a detour to look at a file on the hard disk, rather than a physical cd.

Such applications *normally* use a rootkit[^] to show itself to the OS as a Optical disk drive (or whatever it wants to appear to be). So, you'll have to write application that will detect a rootkit and find if it actually is hiding itself to provide a virtual disk drive capability.
There may be some X application that may not be using a rootkit. So, I don't see a "generic" approach to figure out this stuff.
A crude way is to note down the registry entries and folders all such applications create and look out if there's anything of that present in the machine. But if there were multiple drives (including actual optical drives), ...
Yours is an ambitious project, sir.

I have to show the Pointer position on the Windows XP screen without over-write any information on the screen (like the mouse without using any GUI). Is there any way to do that or I have to use interrupt 33h? If in the latter case, how I do that in VC++ codes to call interrupt 33h?
Thanks for any help

Most interrupts are not allowed/possible in Windows.
What exactly is it that you are after? Are you writing a console or a GUI application?

I think I better off with the console because I would like to show the pointer moving around PC monitor
- I do not want to use any interrupt, but when the pointer moving I do not want it erasing any thing on the screen (like the mouse movements). Certailly, I have to provide the coordination to display the pointer ... but I do not know how to do it.
Can you help

The latter does not require the former. For what reason do you have to have a console application?

I'm not sure what you are saying here, but the mouse does not normally erase anything as it moves around on the screen.

Yes, you are right! Sorry my statement were not clear enough, I would like to display the pointer on the monitor (as the mouse) which not erase any thing when it pass over!
To do the above mentioned, even with VC++ console or MFC or any thing within VC6.0, then it will be oK for me!
For now, I do not know how to do that

The simplest way is to create a dialog-based applicaton, call SetCapture(), and then respond to the WM_MOUSEMOVE message. When you are done, be sure and call ReleaseCapture().

Thank for the suggestion, but I am not sure that I can display my pointer as I wish? Let say I would like to display my pointer (not the mouse position) at the top-left sreen then at the bottom-right of the screen (1280 x 800 resolution) ... what can I do?
Thanks in-advanced

Call SetCursorPos().

It works beautifully, however I wonder that: Can I not use the Dialog base? Because I still have the dialog apprearing on the screen, by any chance we don't have to do that?
Anyway, thanks a lot for help

Your best bet is to just try it and see.
