auto specifier is c++11 standard.

Stock bid ask recorded data easily goes to 1 TB per day file just for one security

This is not C++. Looks like jscript code to me.

Change register() to Register(). register is a reserved C/C++ keyword and as such cannot be used as function or variable names

You need to use CreateProcessAsUser API. The code that listed in the StackOverflow is not C or C++. I have no idea what language it is.

Also. If you use that call, it will be listed in the exe and the virus softwre can flag it as a virus or malware. If you are trying to administer user machine remotely there are much better tools provided by the Windows OS. Any OS can be administered remotely without implementing intrusive software. But I am no network admin. You need advice of the knowlegable network admin for that.

Category of "Viruses". There is no need for a Windows app to run stealthily if it is not a service. And it is determined via link table in the executable

Yes. You can just return this pointer

It is not declared in your code. Also if it is char[] then you cannot use assignment operator. U need to use memcpy on param3

To decrypt you need to know what algorithm they use SHA256, SHA128, etc. And you need to know the "public key".

Tell him/her that it is too easy and you wand to do it on a punch card computer UNIVAC-1 1951 edition. LMAO

Spend a few weeks reading beginners c++ book to get an idea about strict syntax rules. At current junction you are obviously in over your head

Most of the gaming GUI are 2D sprites drawn on top of the game (last draw calls). These are not standard windows, but sprites and textures designed within the game itself. Same goes for the Nvidia overlays - those are 2D sprites.

Yes, you right my bad. I think some older compilers required forward decl

Ok. I am not an Admin on my machine. I just created dialog based app and used exactly your code (I called TestFunc1() from OnInitDialog). And it works fine whether I ran is as Admin or a regular user. There something else is missing in your code. I cannot tell what.

BTW since you using MFC you can use CString instead of WCHAR[128] and DDX_ bind it to the control. Call UpdateData(FALSE) after you change CString value. If you build UNICODE CString becomes CStringW.

Also I noticed this: Your control ID is IDS_USER_PROMPT. This maybe nothing. But MSVC app wizard uses prefix IDS_ for resource strings and prefix IDC_ for controls. Double check that your IDS_USER_PROMPT is not a "String Table Resource" but an actual control ID

Usually it would just display garbage characters if you place en(us) codes onto cyrillic or japanese langs. Also since you put the string, by what it looks like, the static text control, make sure it is wide enough. As far as I remember when static text does not fit the box it will remain blank. Unlike edit text box.

And most important: call UpdateData(FALSE) after if your m_UserPrompt bound to DDX_ routines updates

.LIB is the file that the 3rd party library provides to you, unless you are expected to build it yourself (most likely the case, because they can't exactly predict what compiler you are using). So probably you need to build the library and include it into your linker

Can you check the source code?

Double check you CreateWindow() functions. Windows has a tree-like composition, i.e. it is possible to create nested windows within parent window by calling CreateWindow() with the parent window handle. If this is the case your Spy may have focus on a different window. Examine the Tree in your Spy app

keyDown in MFC is CWnd::OnKeyDown() of WM_KEYDOWN message handler. Put your SetEvent call into that message handler

Are you connecting to that PC remotely from WAN or from LAN?

I think what he was doing is calling HeapAlloc and HeapFree 100 times, which will fragment the heap. What I suggested that he does not need to allocate and free memory 100 times. Instead allocate memory only once large enough fit the largest file and then use that same memory to process all 100 files. HeapAlloc is notorious for fragmentation

When you copying character array into struct you do it to the struct's pointer, assuming your char array contains entire structure i.e.

struct blah b;
memcpy(&b, buffer, sizeof(blah));

The answer was not for him but for the others who stumbles upon this question. Especially if it is on the top of the list of other related question today.
