Hello guys,
someone is trying to intercept some dialog box of my application to modify its behaviour once the application is running and the dialog box opened (he doesn't have the source code of the application).
I need to prevent him to do this, could someone give me some hint on how to do it?
Thanx,
Fabio

This code is probably injecting a dll into your process. There are a number of ways they could be doing this.
You could try this.
Once you have built your app open the exe in Dependancy Viewer. Get a list of all the DLL's referenced by your app.
In your code you can use EnumProcessModules() and GetModuleFileName() to see what dlls have been loaded into your process. You can then determine if there is a dll loaded that you dont recognise. Im not sure if you can unload the problem dll by calling FreeLibrary() or not.
If I was in your situation I would try to get a copy of the software that is causing the problem and attempt to reverse engineer it to the point where you understand what it is doing. Then you will have a better chance of designing code to defeat it.

Thanx Josh...
I think they are hooking on my EXE only at a certain moment, and not since the beginning.
Is it possible to intercept the OnInitDialog message of a dialog box with an ActiveX and take the control over it? I think this is the type of attack... And in this case the dll is not part of my process, right?
About trying to get the soft causing the problem: impossible. I just have to guess and do the strongest protection possible.
I'm gonna try a sample attack program to test your protection method.
Thanx
Fabio

Hello,
Can someone give me some explanations how C++ actually doing the type casting? Is a Dynamic Cast really expensive? What about Static Cast, Constant Cast and Interrupter Cast? Thanks!

The authoratative source on all things performance in C++ is:
C++ Standards Committee Performance TR[^]
From the performance TR:
const_cast<Type>(expression) // §IS-5.2.11
static_cast<Type>(expression) // §IS-5.2.9
reinterpret_cast<Type>(expression) // §IS-5.2.10
dynamic_cast<Type>(expression) // §IS-5.2.7
The first three forms of type conversion operator have no size or speed penalty versus the equivalent cast notation. Indeed, it is typical for a compiler to transform cast notation into one of the other type conversion operators when generating object code. However, dynamic_cast<t> may incur some overhead at run-time if the required conversion involves using RTTI mechanisms such as cross-casting (§2.3.8).
The report goes on to give examples of how dynamic cast costs are dependant on the types you are casting to and from. If you believe casting to be an issue profile your application and compare the cost of the cast to the rest of the application.
Casting is not likely to be significant performance cost in the bigger picture unless you do it very often - in which case the design may require refactoring. There are however, two conflicting opinions on the use of dynamic casts. One is that it is best to avoid dynamic casting where possible through the use of the visitor pattern (Design Patterns - Gamma, Helm et al.), and the other is that the use of dynamic_casts elminates the need for large ammounts of code that the visitor pattern requires.

Hi Everybody,
How r u all. I would like to know is there any way to search and Image inside a bitmap. If you kow please tell me any effective way or algorithm you follow.
Thanks in Advance. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

If you know the byte-pattern (e.g., colors, palettes) that the image is comprised of, I don't see why not.

I think he didn't mean an easy computer-generated bitmap. Image detection is not easy. There are very complicated math algorithms about that. I've read a book about that.. although it has been a long time ago I think there was a way doing it by using the FFT algorithm in a special way, but I'm not sure about that anymore. You could google for "digital image processing".
Don't try it, just do it!

I need help. I want to extract the ISO file to the local harddrive. Is there an sample code or some sample written in VC++ 6.0 or C#, which I can take a look. Please help.
Thank You

Ok, get me up to speed here. What is the ISO file?

Bun of files compress to a single file to make the CD image.
Example: testing.iso
If someone gave me an testing.iso from the CD want to extract it out to the local disk.

Does knowing the format of an ISO file help?

The format of an ISO is iso9660

Right. Did I indicate otherwise?

You wanted to know how to extract the contents of an ISO file. I simply provided you with a link to the ISO file format. Usually when one knows the format of a file, they can start to put code together that will operate on said file.

Why that difficult? Code an easy CD emulator (that is a thing of lets say 2 hours) and use the windows file system driver (cdfs) for mounting the image and reading it via the normal file management API.
Don't try it, just do it!

If that'll work, great! I've never dealt with CD-type files so I was just taking a SWAG.

well you can look at linux and *BSD source code to see how they read it from CDs. C, but might be useful. I don't know if it is easier to start from scratch or not, but you might try write a wrapper for their code.

I'm writing a program which needs to get the mouse capture in order to be able to select a part of the screen. I've tried this using GetCapture, but that doesn't work, because at the moment I start dragging at a point that is not in the my app's window, the capture is lost and the window at that point is activated.
Is there some way to prevent this loss of capture AND focus?

I'm trying to set up a function which sorts the 10 elements of my array utilizing pointers. It's just a learning exercise for my C++ class. Can anyone explain why the following code only makes 1 iteration and how I can get it to keep moving?
void sort(int iArr[], int size)
{
int *iPtr = iArr;
for (int i = size-1;i>0;--i)
for (int j=0; j<i; ++j)
="" if="" (*iptr=""> *iPtr+1);
{
int temp = *(iPtr);
*(iPtr) = *(iPtr+1);
*(iPtr + 1) = temp;
}
}

do you mean:
for (int j=0; j if (*iPtr > *(iPtr+1));
?
also, don't you need to move the pointer somewhere? looks like iPtr is always pointing at the first element of the array.

It seems as though no matter where I put the code to increment iPtr, I still only get one iteration. Seems like this should be so simple, but no matter what I do I can't get it to work. The assignment was to take a previous assignment and write it so that the print & sort funtions are handled with pointers instead of arrays. Can you give me advice as to where in the code that I wrote I would insert the increment? Yes, I'm a newbee. I took structural C 4 years ago and I'm afraid I've lost a lot in 4 years.
