Hi Friends,

I need to develop a plugin to add my own toolbar in Outlook express/ Windows Mail.I tried to get handle of window mail window (while it's running); then placed my toolbar in some desired position in the windows mail window, but as we hide some of the toolbar window; my own custom toolbar gets displayed;

kindly help me in this; as Microsoft Outlook has its own object model and allows to customize its GUI and rest handles by itself.

Do we have any such mechanism to use for GUI customization, in case of Outlook Express/ Windows mail also.

I am using in win32 c

Kindly help me in whatever way you can , coz I really NEED it ASAP.

Thanks in advance!

An executable cannot delete "itself". You may consider a script, or a batch file which will have all the files of your interest deleted. Here's a batch file, which works for me:

@echo off
sleep 50000
del /q "D:\files\file1.txt"
del /q "D:\files\file2.txt"
del /q "D:\files\MyDialog.exe"
del /q "D:\files\mybatch.bat"
exit

Whereas mybatch.bat is the batch file itself. Finish the stuff with your dialog and call this batch file with a ShellExecute()[^]. I've added a delay at the beginning of the batch file to make sure that the dialog gets enough time to quit.

Hi Friend,

You should try this trick :

There are several tricks for making programs that are in one way or another able to delete themselves, without leaving any traces in the system.

One of the most wide-spread techniques, and also the one which is supposed to be one of the most platform independent (between Windows versions) is the following:

1.
Start the program you want to delete (EXE1).

2.
From this program, drop a second exe file (EXE2).

3.
Open a file handle to EXE2 from EXE1, using CreateFile, with the flag "FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE".

4.
Execute EXE2 from EXE1 (e.g. with CreateProcess), causing the operating system to open another file handle to EXE2.

5.
Let EXE1 exit and terminate (which will implicitly cause its filehandle to EXE2 to close, leaving only the operating system's filehandle to EXE2 left open).

6.
EXE2 waits for EXE1 to terminate, and as soon as it detects this, it deletes EXE1 from disk.

7.
After successfully deleting EXE1, the job of EXE2 is complete, and it exits and terminates, causing the operating system's filehandle to it to close.

8.
The general concept and idea is now that EXE2 should immediately be deleted upon this closing of the last open file handle to it. This is also a seemingly correct assumption, especially when you read the entry for the "FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE" flag of the CreateFile API in the Win32API reference

Or you can visit the following link :

This does not work on all platforms. Sometimes CreateFile() will return INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and GetLastError() will return ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. This is because the OS supports the ability to share a file with delete access.

Hi,

If you want to delete the folder after deleting the files.
You this syntax.

_wrmdir(dirname );

Thanks and Regards.

Since your exe is running, it could not be deleted. Better mark it for deletion after next reboot. You can use the api MoveFileEx() with flag MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT. Check here for the code snippet - http://weseetips.com/2008/05/19/how-to-mark-your-file-for-deletion-after-next-reboot/[^]

Hey guys, I can't seem to figure out my problem trying to print out the data to the tcp packet. Please, someone help me out.. I've been searching the internet, trying to find something in the Wireshark source, I'm lost and confused... If you want the full source, please say something. Thanks!

typedef struct IP_Address
{
	u_char byte1;
	u_char byte2;
	u_char byte3;
	u_char byte4;

    for (;;)
{
    CErr = pcap_next_ex(edev_open, &pkt_header, &pkt_data);

    if (CErr == -1)
    {
        cout<< "Encountered an error while reading!\n";

        pcap_close(edev_open);
        return 0;

            th = (tcp_hdr*) ( (u_char*)ih + ((ih->ver_ihl & 0xF0) * 4) );

Using structure in Timer

Anu_Bala16-Jun-08 18:35

Re: Using structure in Timer [modified]

16-Jun-08 18:35

Hi,
Im OnTImer(), i use the values stored in structure ,but when timer is on..it shows correct value but i invoke another timer in dialog,after sometime,,,First timer gets wrong value from structure. How its possible..THis is my code..
STRIG CirTab[] = { // circle sin, cos, table
{ 0, -7999 },
{ 836, -7956 },
{ 1663, -7825 },
{ 2472, -7608 },
{ 3253, -7308 },
{ 3999, -6928 },
{ 4702, -6472 },
{ 5353, -5945 },
{ 5945, -5353 },
{ 6472, -4702 },
{ 6928, -4000 },
{ 7308, -3253 },
{ 7608, -2472 },
{ 7825, -1663 },
{ 7956, -836 }
};

OnTImer code has
LineTo(hDC, clockCenter.x + (INT)(((LONG)(CirTab[pos].sin) * (radius)) / CLKSCALE),
clockCenter.y + (INT)(((LONG)(CirTab[pos].cos) * (radius)) / CLKSCALE));
THe bolded varaible get correct value until the second timer (Dialog timer) getinvoked .Here 'pos' is seconds in time.
At First second it get value of { 0,-7999 } but second timer inviked after some time it shows then values as {12245,23452) but its not present in CirTab[].
Whats the reason??Pls..any suggestion??

So you are accessing the array by using pos which is in seconds. But in the array you have less than 15 members and if the seconds go beyond 15 it will access from outside array which gives you a junk value thats not present in array. In summery you're accessing out of array.

Jijo.

Actually my array contains 60 members.For here just i post only 15members for your reference.Sorry for thsi confusion.

1) Could you check whether the pos goes out of index?
2) Check whether your array values are getting updated by some bad code. Watch the array when you've the error.

Could you post the code snippet?

No, pos shows only between 1 and 60 only.
Arrays doesnot get changed and also the array is not used in sometoher place, used only in this line.
My code is to draw seconds needle in clock image.
DrwaHnad function is called in OnTimer()
DrawHand(register HDC hDC,INT pos,HPEN hPen,INT scale,INT patMode)
{
INT radius;
MoveToEx(hDC, clockCenter.x, clockCenter.y, NULL);
radius = (INT)(((LONG)clockRadius * scale) / 200);
SetROP2(hDC, patMode);
SelectObject(hDC, hPen);
LineTo(hDC, clockCenter.x + (INT)(((LONG)(CirTab[pos].sin) * (radius)) / CLKSCALE),
clockCenter.y + (INT)(((LONG)(CirTab[pos].cos) * (radius)) / CLKSCALE));
}

Array is..
STRIG CirTab[] = { // circle sin, cos, table
{ 0, -7999 },
{ 836, -7956 },
{ 1663, -7825 },
{ 2472, -7608 },

{ 3999, -6928 },
{ 4702, -6472 },
{ 5353, -5945 },

{ 6472, -4702 },
{ 6928, -4000 },
{ 7308, -3253 },
{ 7608, -2472 },
{ 7825, -1663 },
{ 7956, -836 },

{ 8000, 0 },
{ 7956, 836 },

{ 3253, 7308 },
{ 2472, 7608 },
{ 1663, 7825 },
{ 836, 7956 },

{ 0, 7999 },
{ -836, 7956 },
{ -1663, 7825 },

Array index starts from zero. Your pos is zero based index?

NB: While posting code, embed them in code block for better readability.
