Re: How to check if running under administrator account on Vista from MFC app? mkoroudjiev24-Nov-08 7:55 mkoroudjiev 24-Nov-08 7:55  OK, this is obvious. But how to find whether an account is standard or administrator's if the user is running the app with non elevated privileges?

From the context of your app, it doesn't matter - if the app isn't running elevated then even if an administrator is the invoker of the app, there's still no administrative privileges for the app. Checking if a user is a member of an administrator group is a different thing.

Any suggestions on how to check if a user is a member of an administrator group? Thanks. Re: How to check if running under administrator account on Vista from MFC app?

Re: installation path _AnsHUMAN_ 24-Nov-08 1:38 _AnsHUMAN_ 24-Nov-08 1:38  Well it all depends on the approach a developer takes. Do you want to acquire the installation path of your application itself? If yes, than you should have the source code and you must be writing it somewhere in the registry (ideally) or to some text file during the installation. You can read it from either of the places. If it's the installation path of a third party application, that you need than you need to know before hand where they are writing it. Some things seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. _AnShUmAn_ Re: installation path krmed24-Nov-08 3:25 krmed 24-Nov-08 3:25  You can use GetModuleFileName to get the full path to your application. Good luck.

If yes, then, Windows keep the un-installation information under this registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. Under this key for each item there will be DisplayName subkey, which holds the name of application and InstallLocation subkey, which holds the path of the installed application. Refer this article[^] about how to iterate through the registry uninstall information and get those values.

The snippet was from a previous code and I just forgot to remove the GetSelectionMark() thing from the code before posting it. BTW it does work for me when I use it in ListView. Have you selected the property of always showing a selected item whatever the case may be. ie the user click out of the list view or otherwise Some things seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. _AnShUmAn_ Re: Listview item ashishmax4724-Nov-08 18:53 ashishmax47 24-Nov-08 18:53  your code is still not working ListView_SetItemState(GetDlgItem(hDlg,IDC_LIST1),-1,LVIS_DROPHILITED,LVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK ); Ashish button coordinates for office applications e.g. word, excel etc. SQU24-Nov-08 0:29 SQU 24-Nov-08 0:29  Hi, I am working on a project and require the button coordinates of office applications. e.g. open, save etc. I am not interested in what the buttons do I just need to know where they are. The main toolbars are what I am really interested in. If anyone has any examples or can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated.

Error executing function ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER, NULL, NULL) Md Saleem Navalur23-Nov-08 23:54 Md Saleem Navalur 23-Nov-08 23:54  Hi, I am calling this function, from my MFC app in VS 2005. ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER, NULL, NULL); If this call is made, printer selection dialog opens, if i select a printer and click ok, printing starts and everything works fine. However, there is case, if the printer dialog is open and I do not click on ok and wait for a few seconds (say more than 10 sec), a server busy dialog shows up. Server Busy This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Chose 'Switch To' to activate the busy program and correct the problem. But 'Switch To' activates the Start menu, and there is no way to make the Server Busy error to go away except by killing my program altogether, and then deleting the print task from the task list. And i do not want to use, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER for the second param. Any suggestions please.... Thanks in Advance.

Re: Error executing function ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER, NULL, NULL) Md Saleem Navalur24-Nov-08 19:57 Md Saleem Navalur 24-Nov-08 19:57  Nope, you cannot do anything with the app once the server busy dialog comes. You have to kill the app from the task manager, and also the print window has to be killed. Re: Error executing function ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER, NULL, NULL) Ahmed Charfeddine24-Nov-08 21:47 Ahmed Charfeddine 24-Nov-08 21:47  I see.. I think this is because of the way how OLE request are dispatched : the OLE client sends a request which is not handled within the context of it current thread, rather by another thread (of course this may be dependent on the type of OLE server which you are dealing with). Then the client blocks on sort of double events : one related to a timeout for a timer that has already been started ny the client, the other is related to a notification sent back by the OLE server which it finalizes the request job. In your case, what happens is that the timeout occurs before the request is done.This has lead to a bizarre situation between the OLE client and the OLE server. Of course because of the way this has been internally coded (not because of your code). I think your only solution is to try play on the timeout value or even force somehow the OLE framework not to show the busy dialog.. Link : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/248019[^] Good luck.
