As I explain many times in the past, there is nothing wrong with that. I will keep on answering any question that is relevant today, and this one is. I stumbled upon the question while looking for the same solution myself and that was yesterday.

I rephrased my answer. Unlike other hacks, bypassing UAC is a real pain. These exploits weren't fixed for many years and some are not expected to be fixed ever because fixing them will interfere with how Windows operates. That being said, these exploits are blocked by most anti viruses and of course by Windows Defender. The information in my answer is provided for educational purposes only.

I updated the function to include debugging output. I tested it by passing to it the Process ID of Chrome, which was opened on my PC under several instances. The function returned a vector showing all handles, so I verified it works.

I still can't find out how to solve it.
Tried:
void WriteLogFile(const std::string& filename, const char* file, int line, const std::string_view format, auto... args)
{
std::ofstream logFile(filename, std::ios_base::app);
if (!logFile)
{
std::cerr << "Failed to open log file." << std::endl;
return;
}

auto now = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
std::time_t currentTime = std::chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(now);
const std::string_view fmt_msg{ format };
std::string message = std::format("{} [{}:{}] - {}",
std::ctime(¤tTime),
file,
line,
std::format(fmt_msg, args...));

logFile << message << std::endl;
std::cout << message << std::endl;

logFile.close();
}

Michael Haephrati 20-May-23 7:28am View

I don't know the number of arguments.
The problem I have is with this code:

std::string message = std::format("{} [{}:{}] - {}",
std::ctime(¤tTime),
file,
line,
std::format(format, args...));

How do you suggest to fix it?

Michael Haephrati 24-Jan-23 14:12pm View

The problem was due to memory corruption caused by another function called just before, so I will delete this question.

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.

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

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.

Just close and reopen the application.

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.

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.

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

Is this your solution??? the question is how can such raw data be converted to the email's ingredients, such as inline photos, attachments, etc.

Michael Haephrati 12-Jan-18 5:15am View

Thanks for the tip. I didn't see any indication this question is inactive. I do hope my answer will serve others who may be looking for the same issue...

Michael Haephrati 12-Jan-18 5:10am 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?

Michael Haephrati 12-Jan-18 5:08am View

Jochen, I have accepted your answer but now wish to reject it (sorry) so others will submit answers which may be hopefully more focused in this specific type of data (Gmail raw data). There might be libraries / code snippets for this specific type.

Michael Haephrati 11-Jan-18 12:44pm View

There is nothing wrong with that. The purpose of the Q&A is to publish questions, as long as they aren't already published, for the benefit of the entire community. Next time someone will look for this question he will find it and even though I published my own solution, I didn't mark the question is solved and awaiting other solutions (maybe better than mine).

Michael Haephrati 9-Jan-18 13:41pm View

Thanks for your help. The author hasn't responded and indeed his code doesn't explain much.
After changing the code to
vector<mimelib::content> Contents;
MIMELIB::ParseMultipleContent2(Body,Body.GetLength(), a1.c_str(), Contents);
I still get an empty vecrtor

Michael Haephrati 9-Jan-18 9:58am View

Please note that there is a purpose for the "What I have tried" section. Please add there what you have done so far to solve this problem. Remember that the purpose of the Q&A is not only to get you an answer but to allow others to find this answer when they have a similar problem.

Michael Haephrati 9-Jan-18 8:39am View

I added this code

vector<mimelib::content> Contents;
MIMELIB::ParseMultipleContent2(Body,strlen(a1.c_str()), a1.c_str(), Contents);
// Body mail parts are now in Contents
// Check type with Contents[ndx].hval("Content-type")
// Use Contents[ndx].Decode() to get a byte array with decoded data
// like binary for binary attachments or usually UTF-8 for text / HTML

int i;
for (i = 0; i < Contents.size(); i++)

However it doesn't get into the loop, like Contents is empty..

Michael Haephrati 9-Jan-18 8:33am View

Can you give me an example of how will an attachment be encoded and how to extract it?

Michael Haephrati 9-Jan-18 8:32am View

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.

Its not about a specific mail but in general and I am reading the emails directly from gmail.com. If you use gmail you can try with any gmail message and see.

I don't want to execute it but to offer the user to download it after payment via PayPal, and to have this download with an additional command line arguments based on the PayPal token and PayerID.

Michael Haephrati 4-Apr-17 7:09am View

I don't want the file to be automatically executed but as in any web site that offer software to be downloaded, I want that when the software IS downloaded by the user, and if the user chooses to open it, it will add command line arguments.

"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

Michael Haephrati 30-Mar-17 10:09am View

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.

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.

Further, I have checked and found another file format that has this attribute. NEF. I guess all photo formats support that attribute.

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);
