I have a service that runs under the system account, not interacting with the desktop. I want it to be able to do something (use the Service Manager to stop a service on another computer) that apparently requires me to be Administrator. I could run my service as Administrator, but I'd rather not do that since it prevents me from changing my mind and making it interact with the desktop, at least for debugging.
Where can I go to learn how my service can impersonate Administrator (the service has access to the login information) while interacting with the Service Manager? I'd appreciate any information. This service is implemented in MFC. Using C# is not an option, nor is learning a lot of COM.
Thanks

take a look at those pics
before I run the program
http://69.50.187.114/~area51/before.gif
after I run the program = notice I lost my AIM icon.... it overlapped the AIM icon.
http://69.50.187.114/~area51/after.gif
my program is MFC based.
here is code:
void CStart_Button_ChangerDlg::OnClock2()
{
hTaskbar = FindWindowEx(NULL, NULL, _T("Shell_TrayWnd"), NULL);
if (hTaskbar)
{
hTray = FindWindowEx(hTaskbar, NULL, _T("TrayNotifyWnd"), NULL);
hStaticCtrl = ::GetDlgItem(m_hWnd,IDC_CLOCK);
ReplaceClock();
SetTimer(55,1000,0);
}
}
void CStart_Button_ChangerDlg::ReplaceClock()
{
CRect rcTray;
CRect rcStaticCtrl, rcNewStaticCtrl;
::GetWindowRect(hTray, &rcTray);
::GetWindowRect(hClockText, &rcStaticCtrl);
//::SendMessage(hTray, WM_SIZE, 0, 0);
rcNewStaticCtrl.left = rcTray.right - rcTray.left - rcStaticCtrl.Width() - 0;
rcNewStaticCtrl.top = 2;
rcNewStaticCtrl.bottom = rcStaticCtrl.bottom;
rcNewStaticCtrl.right = rcStaticCtrl.right;
CWnd *pStaticCtrlWnd = GetDlgItem(IDC_CLOCK);
pStaticCtrlWnd->MoveWindow(&rcNewStaticCtrl);
pStaticCtrlWnd->ModifyStyle(0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE);
//HWND hWndStatic = GetDlgItem(IDC_CLOCK);
RECT rect;
CBrush hBrush;
CDC* hdc;
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
hdc = BeginPaint(&ps);
hdc->SaveDC();
hBrush.CreateSolidBrush(RGB(0,0,0));
hdc->SelectObject(hBrush);
GetClientRect(&rect);
hdc->Rectangle(&rect);
hdc->SetTextColor(RGB(0,255,255));
hdc->SetBkColor(RGB(0,0,0));
//hdc->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT);
//hdc->SetBkMode(OPAQUE);
//hdc->RestoreDC(-1);
EndPaint(&ps);
//::InvalidateRect(hTray, NULL, FALSE);

Keep in mind that the previous solution will be true for folders AND files.
This one is true only for folders:
BOOL DirectoryExists(CString strFolderName)<br />
{<br />
BOOL bDirectory = FALSE;<br />
<br />
DWORD dwAttributes = GetFileAttributes(strFolderName);<br />
<br />
if( dwAttributes != INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES ){<br />
if( dwAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY ){<br />
bDirectory = TRUE;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
return bDirectory;<br />
}

Yes, PathFileExists defined in Shlwapi.h

Hi,
Please help me!
My situation is:
I want to write a program which converts Microsoft file (*.doc, *.xls ...) to RepliGo file (*.rgo) for viewing them on Palm.
RepliGo support virtual printer, so I think we can print our documents to that virtual printer, then RepliGo will
convert them to *.rgo.
But my current problem is:
After RepliGo receive your file to print (or convert to .rgo), it shows a Dialog which ask you to name the output file.
I want my program convert a set of files continously, so this Dialog is really a fence to do that purpose.
I don't want to let User see that Dialog.
Please tell me how to prevent that dialog showing and simulate clicking event to OK button on that Dialog to name output file automatically.
Thank a ton.

You'll need to look into hooking - specifically the hooking of the creation of windows. You should be able to google and fnid plenty on the topic and maybe even some articles on this site.

Hey,
can anyone help me with this problem:
I've an application with a CTreeCtrl. No I want to chatch the rigth-mousebutton in order to display a contextmenu (depending on selected treeitem).
So I created the follwing eventhandler:
<br />
void CFormTestTree::OnNMRclickTree1(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)<br />
<br />
LPNMTREEVIEW pNMTreeView = reinterpret_cast<LPNMTREEVIEW>(pNMHDR);<br />
HTREEITEM hItem = pNMTreeView->itemNew.hItem;<br />
CObject *pObject = (CObject*) m_tcTree.GetItemData(hItem);<br />
The error occours in the last row.
The same code works in the eventhandler-function for the SelChange without any problems.
WHY?
Thanx a lot....
P.S. I forgott to say that the problem is the same when I use the GetMousePos() and HitTest() function to get the Item!
|
|
|
|
|
Hey, I solved the problem with HitTest(). I 've forgotten to convert the point with the ScreenToClient() function. But I have not solved the problem with OnNMRclickTree1 yet...
|
|
|
|
|
Remember, this handler is call whenever the user right-clicks on the tree control. The area clicked on may not be associated with an item, so you need to handle that case.

I am writing a MFC application in VC++. The application needs to be able to open the CD-ROM drive. I am currently using the mciSendString function but i can not get the project configured properly.
i have included windows.h
I played around with linking the winmm.lib library into the project but with no success.
my code:
#include <windows.h>
.
.
.
mciSendString("open cdaudio wait", NULL, 0, NULL);
mciSendString("set cdaudio door open", NULL, 0, NULL);
Can anyone give me an explanation of what i need to include to get mciSendString to work or another way to open the CD-ROM? I've found MSDOS executables that can open the CD_ROM drive but i can not find code on how to do this.

Hello can anyone tell me how to access shared folders on Lan for copying something in them.

Use the \\server\share convention, also known as UNC.

Any function or method that can handle UNC will work.

Use the WNetOpenEnum() and WNetEnumResource() pair.

Use CopyFile() or SHFileOperation().

BTW, there's only one 'l' in faithful, assuming it's not meant to be misspelled.

Well, this is probably one of the biggest newbie question around here, but I'm having problems with assigning my Label text to a variable (ex a string).
My problem explained with code looks like this:
Label *myLbl;
string myString = "Hello there";
myLbl = new Label;
myLbl->Text = myString; //error C2664 Cannot convert from string to System::String __gc *
This does obviously not work, and I have searched for quite some time now after just a simple sollution to this simple problem, no result finding something. So I hoped someone here could help me out with this one.
Best Regards,
Hmmkk

The Managed C++ forum might offer better help.
Just my guess, maybe you need to use the c_str() method?
myLbl->Text = new System::String(myString.c_str());
Regards
Senthil

Well yes, I was afraid that this belonged there but I was not totally sure.
Thanks though.
But well it didnt quite solve my problem, now I get the error;
Just-In-Time Debugging
System.NullReferenceException
To make the code a little more clear, if now it matter I don't know.
This is how I want it.
lblQ->Text = myQuestions[CurrentQuestion]->getQuestion()
myQuestion is a pointer class and getQuestion returns the variable theQuestion which is defined as a string.
and also I just tried two ways:
1:
lblQ->Text = new System::String(myQuestions[CurrentQuestion]->getQuestion();.c_str());
2:
myQuestions[CurrentQuestion]->setQuestion("hi");
string temp = myQuestions[CurrentQuestion]->getQuestion();
lblQ->Text = new System::String(temp.c_str());
Both gave the Just-In-Time debugger error.
Best Regards,

Howdy-
I am looking for some clues.
I need to make a window that will track another application, and "dock" itself to the side of that other application.
I am looking for the and easy and efficient way to watch the position of another window and buddy my window up to it. All clues welcome!
Thanks

I am writing a add-in for some other program (can't say which) -- and though this program offers a plug-in interface, they offer no UI support.
For the sake of a demo, we want to put a button on their window. I plan to do this by tracking their app (size, location, focus) and positioning myself next to them... like a little puppy dog chasing his master -- my button/window will track this other application.
My assumption is that I mush hook their application with something like SetWindowsHooEx() and get the important messages and post them back to my app which will reposition itself to match that app.
I guess the question is -- is there any other way to do this, than to create a DLL, inject it into their process space, and post messages back and forth?
Thanks
