You only need to call TerminateProcess() to kill a process. GetExitCodeProcess() is used if you want to find out a process's exit code *after* it has finished.

But to answer your original question, you are probably doing this:

DWORD exitCode ; 
BOOL rc = GetExitCodeProcess( hProcess , exitCode ) ;

when you need to do this:

DWORD exitCode ; 
BOOL rc = GetExitCodeProcess( hProcess , &exitCode ) ;

If GetExitCodeProcess() succeeds, it will have placed the appropriate value in 'exitCode' for you.

I tried this:

DWORD exitCode;<br />
	BOOL getcode = GetExitCodeProcess(winKazaa, &exitCode);<br />
	BOOL terminate = TerminateProcess(winKazaa, exitCode);

but it didn't work. Is there something I'm still doing wrong?

Sigh...

Ignore my previous post. I should really read the question properly before answering these things Frown | :-(

I just tried compiling your sample and it worked fine!

The compiler error suggests that the problem is with winKazaa, not exitCode (assuming it is a HANDLE). You may be pulling in a header file that defines one of the functions you're calling with a different parameter list (!)

Hi there. Is there a quick answer to this following question:

What's the difference between automation compliant COM and ActiveX component.

Thanks

Application aborts Windows shutdown

This problem has been driving me nuts for several days and I'm hoping a fresh mind out there can shed some light on this problem for me.

I've written an MFC application that can be installed as an NT service. Naturally, an NT service isn't terminated when the user logs out, however I do want to do a few things within the app when the user logs out or shuts down the computer. I'm able to determine when the user is logging out and perform the appropriate functionality by acting on the WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION Windows messages.

Here's the problem. When the user logs out, everything is fine. They log back in and my service is still running as it should be. When they log back out or attempt to shutdown, it would appear that my application aborts the log off / shutdown. However, I'm always returning true to the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message. If I remove my handling of the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message, the same still happens.

It gets even weirder when I discovered that my application doesn't even receive the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message the second time I try logging out, but it DOES receive the WM_ENDSESSION message (with wParam = 0).

If I close my application, Windows is fine shutting down. If I restart my application, it works fine once before repeating the above.

Can someone save the remainder of my hair before I finish pulling it out?!

CDC::TransparentBlt

Help with TransparentBlt()

I'm working from the CP example "Oscilliscope/StripChart Control" by Mark C. Malburg (http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/oscope.asp).

What I'm trying to adapt it to do is have several plots on the same chart PLUS the ability to turn off/on any one of the plots.

I am trying to use CDC::TransparentBlt(), but the compiler does not recognize this function. I looked at the AfxWin.h declaration for CDC and it is not there -- ...\microsoft visual studio\vc98\mfc\include\afxwin.h (VC++ 6.0)

I'm running VC++ 6.0, Win2000, Service pack ???
What do I have to do in order to get this to work?

Thanks (in advance for any help)
Johnny

May be this is just me, but I always thought that TransparentBlt is a member of ATL CDC ( atlgdi.h ?), but not MFC CDC (afxwin.h) at least at 6.0 level.

Either way whats wrong with using ::TransparentBlt(dc->GetSafeDC(),....);

How do I output the IP Address after getting computer name??

Hiya I am writing a window sockets program. I can find loads of examples of setting the IP address and then displaying that, but I can not find out how to display the IP Address once I have got the computer name..I have this so far:

char szHostName[200];
struct hostent *host;

gethostname( szHostName,strlen( szHostName ));
host = gethostbyname( szHostName );

// now display the IP Address of the host??

I have seen the inet_addr function, but don't know how to use it..

Hiya, thanks for that and tried it but it says that s_b1 is not a member of in_addr. Which it isn't.

I put it in exactly as suggusted. But S_un is the member of in_addr .i.e
addr->S_un

What can I do to fix this??

Thanks again,

OK, I mispelled this. I guess you may use:

s.Format("%d.%d.%d.%d", addr->S_un.S_un_b.s_b1, addr->S_un.S_un_b.s_b2, addr->S_un.S_un_b.s_b3, addr->S_un.S_un_b.s_b4);

Hi ... you may try this code snippet ....

the result should be something like 123.456.789.123 ...

hope it will help you

Wink | ;)

struct hostent * pHost = gethostbyname(szHostName);
if(pHost != NULL)
{
for(int i = 0; (pHost->h_addr_list[i]!= NULL); i++ )
{
CString csIP = "";
for(int j = 0; j < pHost->h_length; j++ )
{
if( j > 0 ) csIP += ".";

CString addr = "";
addr.Format("%u", (unsigned int)((unsigned char*)pHost->h_addr_list[i])[j]);
csIP += addr;
}
AfxMessageBox( csIP );
}
}

use inet_ntoa fucntion:

char szIP[16];

struct hostent *host = gethostbyname( szHostName );
struct in_addr *InAddr = (struct in_addr*)host->h_addr_list[0];
strcpy(szIP,inet_ntoa(*InAddr));

Overloaded Methods & COM: ???

When you use overloaded methods and generate a COM proxy, how do you access each overload of the method? Can you even do it? (I'm wanting to host script.)

That's the point - what happens? But I suppose the answer is that only the default method def is used in the COM interface definition. (Sigh) Cry | :((

I found the answer! I tried it out - made a test dll, compiled it, ran it thru RegAsm.exe, and OLE-viewed the resulting typelib.

The answer? If you make a COM proxy for a class/interface with overloaded functions, the function is listed once for each overload, appended with "_" & a number.

Big Grin | :-D

That's what I was hoping for!!! Big Grin | :-D

Example:

//1st overload
[id(0x60020004)]
BSTR OLoad([in] long nInput);

//2nd overload - notice the custom attribute
[id(0x60020005),
custom(0F21F359-AB84-41E8-9A78-36D110E6D2F9, OLoad)]
BSTR OLoad_2([in] BSTR sInput);

Preventing tree node from collapsing

Ravi Bhavnani8-Apr-03 8:39

Ravi Bhavnani

8-Apr-03 8:39

I'm trying to prevent the root node of my subclassed CTreeCtrl from being collapsed. The root node is guaranteed to have children. I've reflected TVN_ITEMEXPANDING to the control and am returning TRUE in its handler to prevent the root from being collapsed, but the user seems to be able to collapse it anyway.

BOOL CProjectTreeCtrl::OnItemExpanding
     (NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
  // Don't allow the project root to be collapsed
  NMTREEVIEW* pNMTreeView = (NMTREEVIEW *) pNMHDR;
  HTREEITEM hItem = pNMTreeView->itemNew.hItem;
  if (pNMTreeView->action == TVE_COLLAPSE)
     if (hItem == m_hRoot)
        return (TRUE);          // breakpoint reached
  return (FALSE);
}

I can get around the problem by handling TVN_ITEMEXPANDED, but that's ugly because the node collapses then expands.

Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks,

Nope, but here is a thought, could you use the TreeView_Expand Macro?

Thanks, Nick but I'm already able to re-expand the collapsed node by calling Expand(). I was hoping to prevent the about-to-be-collapsed node from collapsing.
