hiho@ll
i have a prog (already compiled (.exe) and i don't have the source)
i want this prog, which only runs as single instance, to have it run more instances
is this possible?
if yes, how?
i had 2 ideas
both i don't know how to do:
1. change the prog itself, that it can run more instances (well, how?)
2. change some OS settings, if the prog already runs, so that if the program checks if there is already a running instance, the windows tells the prog "no you'r alone" (how?)
thx@ll

i know there is a reason
but not everytime! sometimes there are progs, which have this feature just to have it
do you know how it works? if yes, how?
thx

Without the source code I would not do it, because it requires reverse engineering at least part of its binaray code (which is normaly illegal).
In Windows (code wise):
1) Win16: You just needs to check the hPrevInstance handle.
2) Win32: You call CreateMutex() and then call GetLastError().
In both cases, you need to find where the check is ocurring, in the binary, and change the result.
So yes I know how it works and no I can not tell you how to do it.

ok
i thought it would work something like:
get application handle, use some functions, ...
because i thought you can nearly change everything if you have the application handle
didn't really thought about reverse engineering cause i don't know how it works
another question: not really about this topic, but it seems you know reverse engineering
i was asking myself if it's possible to encrypt an exe
i mean, wouldn't it be impossible to reverse engineer a application if the executing file is encrypted?
i know it's also a performance question, but if i don't want my app to be reverse engineered, is't it possible to make it impossible

It is said that "Once a reference is initialized to an object, it cannot be
changed to refer to another object."
But does this only apply locally. The following codes can compile successfully inside function which is controdict with the rule
int x;
int y;
int& r = x;
r = y;
-----------
Another question
extern class A;
void h(A*& a)
{
...
}
int main() {
A a;
h(&a);
A *b = New A;
h(b)
Why line 2 can't pass the compilation? I see no difference between "&a" and "b"

There's no contradiction.
Check this modified code
int x = 10;<br />
int y = 20;<br />
int& r = x;
r = y;
r += 10;
cout << r << " " << x << " " << y ;
For the second one, you have created reference to a pointer in the function parameter A*& a. By this it means a refers to a pointer of type A which it can modify. However when you pass &a to the function h, &a is not modifiable.
Check this sample code
A a1, a2;<br />
A* p1;<br />
A* &r1 = p1;
p1 = &a1;
r1 = &a2;
<br />
A* &r2 = &a2;

I see your point.
int x = 3;
int y = 1;
int& r = x;
r = y;
int main() {}
The above codes can't pass the compilation and with a error message "'r' : missing storage-class or type specifiers", It doesn't make sense to me, here the last line just assign "y" to the object "r" refers which is "x", and when I move it to local function the error disappears, why?

The first three lines are variable declarations that include their initialization. That's valid at the file scope.
The fourth line (r = y;) is an assignment, which is not legal at the file scope; it's only valid in the body of a function.

You can only declare and initialize variables outside of functions, you can't write statements like r=y.

i am showing my data in Listcontrol and want to show image on background
of that listctrl behind my data
i found CListCtrl::GetBkImage
and example
// The pointer to my list view control.
extern CListCtrl* pmyListCtrl;
LVBKIMAGE bki;
// If no background image is set for the list view control use
// the Microsoft homepage image as the background image.
if (pmyListCtrl->GetBkImage(&bki) && (bki.ulFlags == LVBKIF_SOURCE_NONE))
{
pmyListCtrl->SetBkImage(
TEXT("http://www.microsoft.com/library/images/gifs/homepage/microsoft.gif"),
TRUE);
}
but not undestanding how to use this
also tried like this
void CXListCtrl:: SetBkImage( LVBKIMAGE* plvbkImage )
{
SetBkImage(
TEXT("http://www.microsoft.com/library/images/gifs/homepage/microsoft.gif"),
TRUE);
}

Hi,
it seems that you try to set a gif background image.
I think the only thing that can be shown is a HBITMAP or a CBitmap.
To load a bmp file, you can use following code:
CBitmap* LoadBitmap(const CString& Path)
{
CBitmap* attempt = new CBitmap;
HBITMAP hbmp = (HBITMAP)LoadImage(0, Path, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE | LR_CREATEDIBSECTION);
if (hbmp && attempt->Attach(hbmp))
{
return attempt;
}
delete attempt;
return 0;
}
Regards

Thanks
in OnInitDialog() where i am inserting coloumns
i write the following code
// Insert Background Image into the ListControl
LVBKIMAGE bki;
if (m_ctrlListNews.GetBkImage(&bki) && (bki.ulFlags ==LVBKIF_SOURCE_NONE))
{
m_ctrlListNews.SetBkImage(TEXT("C:\\close.bmp"),TRUE);
// Use your own Image Address Here
}
and it works but image is not transparent
means it cuts for lines and columns where some data is
filled
is there any way to make the image transparent so that it can be seen behind
the text shown in list control

Try this:

Sorry,
I've never dealt with transparency in MFC so far. There should be some articles around here, but I guess transparency is a fiddly thing...
