There is nothing "serial" in this code. SG cards are read through the USB port. Serial ports were used 20 years ago. "Serialize" and "Serial" are two different things. There is no way you can get help without adding more information. 'SD_Handle " definition is missing.

It solved issues in the past, especially when CString was used as part of a non MFC project. Some CString member functions as slightly different between the MFC version and the ATL one, so when ATL is used, such conflicts are avoided.

Dave, yes. That's my idea but had it been a Win32 c++ program, I would have been able to add my own Console window for each thread. You can even add a Console window to a Dialog based application. I don't know the answer when it comes to c#.

The article mentioned in this solution contains the following statement: "Loading an image from a resource is disabled due to problems recognizing it correctly as an image", and the question happens to be about that exact disabled feature.

Michael Haephrati 18-May-20 12:31pm View

Again, being a member of the CP community since 2003, I hold an opinion in which any question / article / answer are valid as long as they refer to a topic is relevant today. If you show me a recent answer to an old question about Windows 95, I would agree, but this question is about an ability used today hence my comment. To be more specific, I have noticed that the article mentioned https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/24969/An-MFC-picture-control-to-dynamically-show-picture, could have been relevant today, however it contain the following statement: "Loading an image from a resource is disabled due to problems recognizing it correctly as an image", and the question happens to be about that exact disabled feature.

Michael Haephrati 18-May-20 5:44am View

Nope, it never worked and had it worked back in 2012, it would have worked today. There is a comment by the author saying it doesn't work. Coders come here to find answers and it doesn't mater if a good answer is from 2012.

Right now, because of the scenarios you list here, SHGetKnownFolderPath() will fail and even cause a crash in applications used for both Desktop applications and Windows Service (for example, a Static library used by both types). My ideal answer would be a wraparound function that will call SHGetKnownFolderPath() and if possible return the correct path, let's say when a Windows Service is running, and there is one user logged in), and if not, return nullptr, or similar...

I agree that when an external program like calc.exe is started by CMD, we need to externally locate the process ID of the new process (calc.exe) and monitor it

Michael Haephrati 15-Aug-19 13:40pm View

Can you be more specific? The linked example won't help as long as I wish to check the status of the process periodically

Michael Haephrati 15-Aug-19 11:08am View

In fact, I need to monitor a process that was invoked by CMD. There must be a way to do so. WaitForSingleObject will require a separate thread otherwise I won't be able to periodically check the status, like I do now, with the WM_TIMER event.

Michael Haephrati 7-Jun-19 6:54am View

I would be happy to access your answer if you go over the question again. Look at the source code from WTSEnumerateSessions() and down. The question is about not being able to find the first logged in user and instead finding only the "SYSTEM" token, which leads to launching a desktop client (with UI) as "SYSTEM", which is bad, as you rightly say, but the purpose is to launch the desktop client application to the logged in user, and when that is properly done, the UI is shown. I have managed to do so on Windows 10.

Michael Haephrati 7-Jun-19 6:50am View

This isn't a correct answer. No one claimed Windows services have or should have any UI. That would be impossible as services run on session 0, which is also known as "user SYSTEM". The question is about the recommended method of invoking a Desktop process by calling CreateProcessAsUser() which fails only on Server 2012 (please don't mix between "service" and "server").

Michael Haephrati 7-Jun-19 6:48am View

This is a technical question. Not a request for consultancy. We prefer to avoid using .NET in Desktop and core Server applications and use pure Win32 API. Dave's answer is not an answer but more like a comment. I addressed this comment. To be more specific, when you run any executable on Windows Server 2012 and this executable launches another executable, no UI will be shown. Further, following Microsoft's guidelines, using CreateProcessAsUser, for some reason the only token found, is of the special "SYSTEM" user which causes this problem.

Michael Haephrati 4-Jun-19 7:56am View

My question isn't about finding a workaround for Services, as they are now isolated, but about a phenomenon with Windows Server 2012 that EVEN the child Win32 program, doesn't show any UI.

I am aware of the changes but my question comes after these changes were made. The change you are referring to is this: https://www.msigeek.com/1521/appcompat-series-session-0-isolation-and-secure-desktop.
Since this change, Windows services can't have any interaction with the user, and therefor need to invoke a client process per each logged in user (that answers your question about a user not logged in), and my question is about that. It works perfectly on Windows Desktop (i.e. 10), but not on Windows Server 2012.

You wrote: "The proper way to do it would be you have a small user app that runs when the user logs in and it talks to the service via an IPC channel, like named pipes. When the service has to launch an app, it just tells the small application to do it for the service. Launching an app from there is super easy and will always be done as the user that's logged in.", well my user app works perfectly alongside with the Service on Windows 10, but not on Windows Server 2012.

I have found that if I install a driver, it always start regardless of how the PC was turned off. As for the service, it always start after a soft reboot so I think it is more of a problem with how Windows proceeds after a hard reboot.

Michael Haephrati 26-Aug-18 10:52am View

Dave, I usually don't check when a question has been raised because if it is not relevant, you should ask for it to be deleted. If the question is here, then there is a place to answer it even after 20 years. About ActiveX, you are right. However, my answer is (or could be) generic for people looking for ways to create a .cab file. Unfortunately, the need to create these old files (.cab) is still valid. Microsoft still requires it for setup.exe applications or drivers. So I was just trying to share my knowledge about the .cab files ignoring the outdated ActiveX mentioned in the question.

I want to mark your answer as accepted. I still don't understand the last 2 paragraphs in your previous comment.

The hval() function returns the content of a header field where the version with two arguments returns only the content of the passed sub part.

That means that c.hval("Content-Type","boundary") returns the boundary string which is then passed to the parser to split the body into the boundary separated portions.

Go for it! such 3rd party libraries cover too much (193 files) while a solution to this specific issue (parsing gmail raw data) and only it, doesn't exists and can fit few files if you create a minimal solution.

Michael Haephrati 12-Jan-18 8:18am View

Can you share here (as an answer) a working example of doing so? Saving the buffer into a file and loading it, isn't vital for the purpose of explanation. Just going over this buffer and parsing it, whilst showing that indeed, as I assumed, all the necessary information will be encapsulated within the raw data.The expected answer would be source code pasted here. It doesn't have to be a complete project but can surely demonstrate how key elements are extracted (for example an embedded image within the email's body, or an attachment).

Michael Haephrati 12-Jan-18 7:03am View

The definition is here https://www.electrictoolbox.com/gmail-view-raw-email-message/
As I see it, at the point that you have the full raw data, you don't need any interaction with the Gmail servers and can do it offline. All the information is already in the raw data. I guess we are talking about the 2nd task. Not the 1st one.

Michael Haephrati 12-Jan-18 7:01am View

Its not about a format but about a practical way to convert Gmail raw data to its indigents. That is what my question is about. You wrote about interactive protocols to communicate with the Gmail server, but I think, with the raw data, one should be able to convert this data to the contents of an email without such interaction, for example, while being offline. Is that so?

Thanks. You should use ParseMultipleContent2() not ParseMultipleContent() which is commented in the source code... Correct?

I did that but I am not sure how to use your code to parse the email. I don't need the plain text of the email. I need all attributes (sender, date, subject), along with the body (HTML or richtext) and any attachment.

"If you are strictly limited to a lib and header file, you must store the data as binary arrays and provide helper functions to load them like resources as mentioned in the thread." - Yes. that's the solution I am looking for (the icon can be converted to a static array using bin2c), however the icon should then be available the same way a standard icon would be, so LoadIcon would work with this memory based icon

Yup, my bad. Since you know I am not fishing for rep point trust me I try to spend my spare time on bringing old questions, answers and articles up to date, otherwise there is no room from them here. None of the other answers included anything about databases - that's was my point (unless " //database call here " is some new database code I am not aware of...). Would you like me to delete my answer? Based on the other answers and the question being so old, I would vote to delete the entire question. CP is not a museum. If something isn't useful today, there is no point keeping it.

Done. I just marked the entire question to be deleted. Please do the same. There is no point having a question with this wording "store checkbox state in database" !? Hope you agree.

What can I say? when you are right you are right. My solution is in c++ and I assume the "write to DB" part isn't the important part of the question (otherwise I would have asked 'which database'), and as for the question being old, that doesn't matter unless we start a new policy of closing old questions).

Sergey, I just want to make sure I am clear. I am talking about one of the attributes Windows Explorer allows displaying. See: http://res1.windows.microsoft.com/resbox/en/windows%207/main/5877754d-48c2-47dd-8387-d53e419c622d_62.jpg So do I need the library you have mentioned (tons of code) just to get or set this attribute, while other attributes such as Last Access Date or Creation Date are a matter of a single line of code?
Further, I have checked and found another file format that has this attribute. NEF. I guess all photo formats support that attribute.

Michael Haephrati 6-Jul-14 16:20pm View

Thank you Sergey

Yes. I found this:

PropertyTagDateTime

The idea is to be able to get the full path of the library before it was statically linked to the executable. I was trying to see if it is possible to add a resource to a static library (which technically IS possible), which is why I posted this question.

That might be true, but you can locate a path of a DLL for example

Michael Haephrati 21-Sep-13 16:53pm View

The question was about a certain library / SDK that does that (i.e. loads a DLL from memory). So your answer doesn't address the question. An answer would be based on the source code attached to my question, trying to figure out why it failed to load the DLL like it should.

If you are now not getting any compilation errors you can go ahead:

First, to convert DateTime into TimeSpan use this:
TimeSpan span1 = new TimeSpan(tm1.Now.Ticks),span2 = new TimeSpan(tm2.Now.Ticks),span3 = new TimeSpan(tm3.Now.Ticks);

To add them three, you need :
TimeSpan span1=tm11;
TimeSpan total = span1.Add(span2);
total=total.Add(span3);

All your errors are because you use TimeSpan which I already told you not to use. Just use strings to get the query results. You will receive something like "00:09:02". Remove everything else.

If you liked my answer please "accept"it and vote for it :) Now as for your questions, if you want to merge user inputs for all users, you can do it (and it is a great idea!) but it will not take place automatically. You need to do it programatically. So your application doesn't necessary have to run online this time. Just write a routine that periodically update the server, and the server will update all users.

Michael Haephrati 16-Mar-13 16:57pm View

Michael Haephrati 16-Mar-13 16:45pm View

So it is saved as a string. Read the query result into a string argument and only then convert it or use it as is. Again, it would be best if you send full source code and exact error message
