Sounds good. 20% is a nice gain, and I look forward to your article.

To disable ctrl-alt-del I use the following code but it is not working in windows 2000. So how to do it????
BOOL c=TRUE;
BOOL ret=SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETSCREENSAVERRUNNING,1,&c,0);
|
|
|
|

I do not know if it is still possible. What you could do is set a keyboard hook [^]. But it is usually not really user friendly to mess up with ctrl-alt-del

In windows NT 4.0 and above you need to replace the MSGina.dll (handles windows login) with a new one. See GINA in MSDN.
GINA
A Graphical Identification and Authentication dynamic-link library (DLL). The GINA is a replaceable DLL component that is loaded by the Winlogon executable. The GINA implements the authentication policy of the interactive logon model and is expected to perform all identification and authentication user interactions.
When logged on, if a user enters a secure attention sequence (SAS), the user is presented with a security options screen. Among the options listed are:
Shut down the system.
Log off.
Change the password.
Go to the task list.
Lock the workstation.
A replacement GINA can provide similar options when an SAS event is received while a user is logged on.
secure attention sequence
(SAS) A key sequence that begins the process of logging on or off. The default sequence is CTRL+ALT+DEL.

After changing to Visual Studio.Net and C++ V7 (and from WinNT to Win2K), I cannot change the application icon of my Visual C++ 7.0 application.
On my developer machine, I can only see the standard MFC icon, although this was explicitly removed from the app's resources.
When the application is installed on another machine, it correctly displays its custom icon.
Any ideas ? Thank you !
|
|
|
|
|
If you move your .exe out of the release directory, is the icon still wrong ?
~RaGE();
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, in the app. The desktop link (I made one) displays the correct icon !
|
|
|
|
|
The desktop link uses the 32*32 icon, whereas the app (in the explorer) uses the 16*16 one. Did you change both of them (Check that ComboBox in the ressource editor...)
~RaGE();

1. Have you Rebuilt All?
2. In Doc/View architecture, distinguish between application and document icon (the link may display custom application icon, and the document icon may still be wizard-generated.
Regards,
BB

(1) Yes, I rebuilt
(2) It is not the problem with app/doc icon, but the app has the MFC default icon.
|
|
|
|

I think I had such problem once, but I can't remember clearly what the cause exactly was. You may try deleting all compiler-generated stuff (Debug\ and Release\ dirs, .aps, .ncb ...) and unused resource IDs, then build again.
Happy Easter!

When editing the icon, did you replace every device type? If you don't know what I'm talking about, when editing the icon there is a combobox labeled device. Icons can have different sizes and color depths. Make sure to change them all.

Yes, there are different icons under the different device types. That's strange.
Thank you for pointing to the solution.

Hello,
I have a formview in which a "play" button opens a new window where a video is played image by image. I have also created a "pause" button which should stop the video. But once I'm starting to play my video, nothing happens when I click on the pause button. If I understand well, the message sent by the pause button cannot be catched while my video is playing.
Basically, what I did is the following :
bool user_paused=false // gets true when the user clicks on
// pause
OnButtonPlay(){
while(user_paused==false){
// grab next frame
}
}
OnButtonPause()
user_paused=true;
}
Is there something that I didn't understand in the handling of messages ? Has anyone a solution to help me solve this problem ?
Thank you
Sandrine

You understand correctly.
You need to change the play loop to check for messages.
Have a look at this example, it's a cancellable progress bar, but it shows how to process messages in a loop.

Thank you, this helps a bit, but there are still things I don't understand : you are supposed to grab the message that has been picked, but I don't understand how I can know which button sent the message. In the example, it is :
msg.message==WMCHAR&&msg.wParam==VK_ESCAPE,
which I think corresponds to a keyboard key, the escape key, but in my case, it is a button that I have created so the msg.message should be BN_CLICKED, but I have several buttons, so it should grab the message for any button. How can I specify which button is concerned ?
Sorry if I bother with simple questions, but I have hard time finding simple examples for beginners.

In your message loop, get the WM_NOTIFY message which is sent by your pushing the button.
WM_NOTIFY
idCtrl = (int) wParam;
pnmh = (LPNMHDR) lParam;
Cast the lParam on a LPNMHDR (like done here on pnmh), and you have a pointer on a NMHDR structure :
typedef struct tagNMHDR {
HWND hwndFrom;
UINT idFrom;
UINT code;
} NMHDR;
check if the pnhm->idFrom correspond to your IDC_PAUSEBUTTON (or whatever ID you gave to the button), and if yes, your button has sent the Message (ouf).
BUT ...
I would recommend you to let the video display using its own thread, so the rest of the buttons keep available for the user (this is pseudo code):
Main
if (pause) boolean PAUSE=1
if (play) boolean PAUSE =0, boolean PLAY=1
if (stop) boolean STOP=1
...
VideoThread
while (not STOP)
if (PLAY) display next frame
if (PAUSE) while (not PAUSE)
...

Hi,
I have tried to handle the delete key thru the OnKeyDown() method.
All other keys work perfectly fine except for the delete key.
Please help in this regard.
Thanks,
Jitesh

Post your code. Are you using the right key-code for the delete key ?
Debug your app and see which is the value retrieved by your code for the delete key, and compare it to the one you use.
Or is the message for the delete key not arriving at all ?
~RaGE();

HI Rage,
The message for Delete key is not arriving at all.
Thanx

hi,
I have to develop a program that reads some strings and write into the resource file at run-time.But i have no idea, how to do it(how to create an entry into the string table at run-time.
Can anybody help me regarding this.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards.

By "resource file" do you mean the .RC file? If so, why would you want to write to this file at run-time?
