Hi All
How can i check which OS is Install(xp,vista or Windows 7 etc) in System? Please help me

In addition to answer from Rejeesh, you can check out this[^] class. It does not support Windows 2008 Server and Windows 7 but the code could easily be updated in order to support these systems.

I am reading the TCP/IP Illustrated Volumn1 the Protocol. I find that is hard to acknowledge so many protocol. So I want to know which protocol are important for the network development.
Is the Volumn 2 needed to read?

You don't need to know every detail of the TCP/IP protocol stack for network development.

Good evening, CPallini
Do you think which protocols is important ?
|
|
|
|
|
It really depends on your needs. For instance, if you want to use sockets for developing a chat application then a general understanding of the TCP protocol would be required.

I agree with you. It's a lot of information, so how can someone decide which protocols are important?
Well, depends on who you are asking. If you are a beginner most in this book isn't needed, the author is a legend in his field, but I would rather start with practical experience to make yourself familiar with one thing at a time. There are very few cases where someone would need to know all low-level and high level-protocols in use like ARP, ICMP, IGMP, DNS, TFTP, BOOTP, TCP, TELNET, FTP, HTTP, SMTP and DHCP. I would pick one that you are interested in and then dig deeper. If you are already familiar with networking, let's say using TCP/UDP/DNS, it could be interesting to dig deeper and see how things work in detail and how on a deeper OSI-level. Let's say how IP/TCP/UDP/routing/switching/ARP works, definitely worth the time in the log run! But it could also that you want to specialise in application layer protocol design, then it would be better to focus on HTTP/IMAP/SMTP/POP/XMPP, the theory and design decision behind them. Another area to specialise is encryption, which algorithms have been used trough time, how to exchange keys/certificates and how communication integrates with applications.
Regarding Volume 2, not sure. The only book from W. Richard Stevens I personally own is UNIX Network Programming: Networking APIs: Sockets and XTI. Very detailed book, he really enjoyed writing about the topic and it's a classic if you are into network programming.
Hope it helps!

For 95% of programmers there are no important protocols. You'll just use a programming library to interface with the network. With TCP/IP you'll be using sockets (although older UNIX variants use another API known as TLI - I've not seen it in the wild in years though).
So for the programmer the API is the most important thing. Sometimes it's helpful to know the details of the protocols you're using (i.e. when something goes wrong and you're forced to use a packet sniffer or the like) but it's not a daily occurrence. The most useful protocols to know about are probably TCP and DNS as they're the things you're closest to when you're programming.

Ash
Edited as I messed up the author, confusing him with Doug Comer whose books cover the same ground

Transparent:It means there is no background pannel.The toolbar just looks like a floating imagelist(picture shaped button).
Enlarge:It means when the mouse hover on ,the hot icon would enlarge,bigger than the others,and would restore to it's original size when the mouse leave.
More:It would be much better if I can use png format pictures as resource.PS: Not use .Net Framework.(USE VC6 or VC2005)
Any suggestions would be fine!
Much thanks

I'd say, use Layered window(s)[^], handle mouse messages like WM_MOUSEMOVE[^], use GDI+ for loading PNG images from resource[^] or CxImage[^], possibly you could also need TrackMouseEvent[^] to know when the mouse leaves. I hope these pointers can help you start off in the right direction.

Please, don't cross post. You have already posted the same question on Q&A (and you got an answer there).

Hi All
I am try find out UAC is Enable or Disable through this code
HKEY pHKey;
BYTE pData[64];
DWORD type = REG_DWORD;
DWORD size =64;
LONG uVal = RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\System",0,KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &pHKey);
if(uVal != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
}
RegQueryValueEx(pHKey, _T("EnableLUA"), 0, &type, pData, &size);
if(pData[0] == 1)
{
}
if(pData[0] == 0)
{
}
RegCloseKey(pHKey);
But it always show Enable.If UAC is enable or disable.
Please help me.

Why didn't you check RegQueryValueEx return value?
Anyway I would do:
...
DWORD dwEnable;
size = sizeof(dwEnable);
...
LONG lRet = RegQueryValueEx(pHKey, _T("EnableLUA"), 0, &type, (BYTE*) &dwEnable, &size);
if ( lRet != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
}
else
{
if(dwEnable == 1)
{
}
else
{
}
}

One more thing i want to discuss with you.When i follow your step then i am getting UAC Enable or Disabled in Windows 7.
Same code when i am running on Vista then give error.But when i run code Run AS Admin then show UAC Enable or Disable.
Can you explain me why this type of result showing.
Please help me

It looks like the only way to obtain it (It looks like you cannot programmatically elevate current process privileges, see, for instance here[^]) however, I'm not an expert.

who can desribe the difference between new and malloc function and
I want to know how they work.Thanks!

Googling[^] gives many usefull hits, like this[^] for example. Do these answer your question or did you mean a more indept view on these?

Short answer: new gives a chance for objects initialization (by calling constructors) and cleanup (delete calls destructors) while malloc provides bare allocation functionality.
Short advice: while doing C++ development always use the new/delete approach.

new creates new objects, malloc just reserves you a lump of memory and gives you a pointer to it. So when you say:
foo *p = new foo;
you're asking the compiler to generate the code for creating an original instance of foo (whatever that is) and to tell you where it is in the program's address space. Generally this means:
- The compiler generates code for reserving a lump of memory to store the object in
- It calls the appropriate constructor for foo and runs it on that lump of memory.
On the other hand when you say (in C):
foo *p = malloc( sizeof( foo ) );
you're saying "give me a lump of bytes that happens to be the size of a foo and I'll treat it as a foo." There can be any old rubbish in there. If you want it initialised into any reasonable state you've got to do it manually. Incidentally this is one of the reasons you'll find C programmers immediately memsetting allocated memory blocks or using calloc instead - it gets the memory into a known state. You'll also find that many decent C programmers bundle allocation and initialisation into functions and call them things like "construct_foo" to keep the operation atomic.
Incidentally there are loads of places you can plug into the object creation sequence process in C++ but very few (i.e. none I know of) of modifying the way malloc works in C. In C++ you can modify how the memory is reserved (by overloading operator new or using placement new), what to do if the allocation fails (set_new_handler) and how the object is initialised (by writing constructors).
One final point. If new fails it throws an exception and winds back any initialisation or memory reservation that's already been completed. The exception is either bad_alloc if the memory reservation fails, or something from the constructor. If malloc fails it returns a NULL pointer, which is another good reason to use initialisation functions in C - you can handle all the errors in one place.
Cheers,
Ash

The best thing to do is to put a breakpoint on the line where new is called and then step into the code.
You can see all the things that it does and finally calls into the Windows API.
You could also overload new in one of your classes and then debug into it.
