It seems that under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\ Windows XP stores an image with the user's login name that will be shown on the logon screen. So if your user's login name is "nitin3", then it will be C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\nitin3.bmp. Don't know about other versions of windows. If you find out about any API to access this information, tell me.

I have installed the Platform SDK Windows Server 2003 Family, February 2003.
And now i want to use library files and include files of the installed sdk for my VC6.0 project.
So to do this, i changed the reference of include and library files in my VC6.0 project.
I went to Tools->Options then in Directories Tab and there, i changed the path
of the Include Files and Library Files.
And then i built my project.
But it is giving linker errors.
So how do i integrate this platform sdk with my project in VC6.0
Please help me.

run the following application under the startmenu.
"Startmenu->All Programs->Microsoft Platform SDK February 2003->Visual Studio Registration->Register PSDK Directories with Visual Studio"

first Thanks for u r reply.
I did this but still getting the same linker error.
fatal error LNK1112: module machine type IA64 conflicts with target machine X86.

It might help if you showed us what linker errors you were getting?

first Thanks for u r reply.
i am getting following linker error and also some command line warnings.
fatal error LNK1112: module machine type IA64 conflicts with target machine X86.
and command line warnings like:
cl: Command line warning D4007: '/Gm' requires '/Zi' option ignored.
cl: Command line warning D4002: ignoring unknown option '/ZI'.
cl: Command line warning D4002: ignoring unknown option '/GZ'.

You are (somehow) linking to the Itanium (IA64) libraries - have a look in your directory settings and get rid of any 64-bit directories!
sunnyram wrote: cl: Command line warning D4007: '/Gm' requires '/Zi' option ignored.
That says that you've somewhere got the /Gm option (Enable minimal rebuilds) set - you need to set /Zi (Enable debugging information) as well.
sunnyram wrote: cl: Command line warning D4002: ignoring unknown option '/ZI'.
/ZI = "enable Edit and Continue".
sunnyram wrote: cl: Command line warning D4002: ignoring unknown option '/GZ'.
/GZ = "Catch release-build errors in debug build".
All those options are in VC6 (as well as all VC++ compilers up to and including 2008)... what C++ compiler are you using?

Thanks again Stuart,
I am using VC++ 6.0 compiler.
from following web site ,
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm
i downloaded the Windows Server 2003 PSDK and installed it.
Now i want to use the new libraries and include files of these installed sdk with
my VC++6.0 project.
so in VC==6.0 project, in Tools->Options and in Directories Tab, i changed Library files reference as
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Lib'
and also made changes in Include Files section like
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include'
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include\mfc'
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include\Win64\mfc'
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include\Win64\crt'
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include\Win64\atl'
and then with these changes i rebuilt my project and i am getting the linker error
as follows:
fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'IA64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86'
so how do i fix this problem?
waiting for reply.

You don't want those Win64 header directories in your include directory list.
|
|
|
|

first Thanks for reply.
I removed the Win64 entries
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include\Win64\mfc'
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include\Win64\crt'
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include\Win64\atl'
and now my Include File section contains the following things:
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include'
'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include\mfc'
I rebuilt my VC++6.0 project
and now i am getting the following error:
fatal error RC1015: can not open include file 'afxres.h'

You've removed the standard Visual C++ include and library directories, haven't you...you still need those, but they need to be arranged so that the compiler will look at the 'Microsoft SDK' directories before the standard Visual C++ include directories.
I'm afraid I can't be more specific - I don't have access to VC++ 6 - I don't use anything older than VS 2003.

i followed, what you are saying.
now i gave the reference for old files also.
now i am getting another errors:
error C2371: 'size_t' : redefinition; different basic types
fatal error C1189: #error : afxv_cpu.h is only for MIPS R4000, DEC AXP, and IBM PowerPC builds.
How do i arrange the Executable, Include, Library and Source files section in
Directories tab of Tools->Option?
and what should be the order of the files?
Which files should i keep in the path for reference and which are not?
waiting for reply.

Source and executable aren't so important. Include and library should include the include and library directories that come with Visual C++ and those that come with the Platform SDK. If you aren't developing for 64-bit, do not include the Win64 directories. The Platform SDK directories should come before (above in the list, I think) the directories from Visual C++.

Hi,
I want to know whether it is possible to align multiple lines of text vertically and horizontally to a rectangle using the funtion DrawText.
If yes, please let me know for what combination of flags, the DrawText would produce the required output.
FYI flags in that funtion:
DT_CENTER - Centers text horizontally in the rectangle
DT_VCENTER - Centers text vertically. This value is used only with the DT_SINGLELINE value, where as my text is multiple line text.
Also there is this,
DT_CALCRECT - Determines the width and height of the rectangle. If there are multiple lines of text, DrawText uses the width of the rectangle pointed to by the lpRect parameter and extends the base of the rectangle to bound the last line of text. If the largest word is wider than the rectangle, the width is expanded. If the text is less than the width of the rectangle, the width is reduced. If there is only one line of text, DrawText modifies the right side of the rectangle so that it bounds the last character in the line. In either case, DrawText returns the height of the formatted text but does not draw the text.
May be I need to calculate and position text myself? If yes how?

yeah, draw text can do it.
u need to consider following points
1) select the font for the device context with the required escapement(angle).
2) use draw text to draw one line at a time (this is bcoz some flags are available only for single line). for doing this, calculate the rect for each line.

The way I do it is to use DT_CALCRECT to get the size of the text box needed.
Then, make a fresh rectangle, centred around the place you want to draw the text - in this case, in the middle of your original rectange (ie, rcMyRectangle.CenterPoint () ).
void MyDraw (CString s, CDC *dcOut, CPoint pt)
{
CRect rcSize (0,0,0,0);
dcOut->DrawText (s, &rcSize, DT_CALCRECT | DT_NOPREFIX);
CRect rcOut (pt,pt);
rcOut.Inflate (rcSize.Width () / 2, rcSize.Height () / 2);
dcOut->DrawText (s, &rcOut, DT_LEFT | DT_TOP | DT_NOPREFIX);
}
Tada!

Hi,
Thanks. I could justify my text now both horizontally and verically.
The modificaiton that needs to be done in the above code to justify the text in the required rectangle is, just replace the flags in the last drawtext function by : DT_CENTER | DT_VCENTER | DT_NOCLIP.

what should minimum processor spacification for multimediea timers??
we are useing multimidiea timers for multithreading
our project is working well on "Inter(R) pentimu(R) Dual CPU" processor speed is 1.99GHz and RAM is 1GB
but when we run our project on "intel(R)Celeron(R) CPU 2.39 GHz",1GH RAM
project became slow and not capturing events properly (mouse events) and application is not synchronized and works irregular

Well, that's to be expected if your application is able to benefit from multiple cores, even though the clock frequency is increased a bit.
anilaabc wrote: not capturing events properly (mouse events) and application is not synchronized and works irregular
This is suspicious and has nothing to do with multimedia timers. It suggests that you have developed a nice bug somewhere.
The first thing I would look for is threads having their priority set to THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL, or even that the process is running at a higher priority than NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS.
Bumping the priority of a thread or process that consumes a lot a CPU time is always wrong and would lead to the consequences you're describing.
If this is the case, then the reason it works better on a multiple core machine is that one core handles the e.g. mouse input, while the other core is executing the the high prioritized thread doing nothing else.

In addition to Roger's reply...
I would really look at the design of the code.
I use multimedia timers in heavy multimedia applications (audio, video, etc.)
and it still works well on an old PIII laptop I have running at 1.7Ghz (if I
remember right) and only 256MB RAM.
The OS helps a bit - I saw an improvement in multithread performance starting
with XP, but still, the code has to be designed properly...
Nothing exposes bad multithread design like switching to a multi-core/multi-CPU

Hi,
I know this is not the right forum but as i could not see vb forum i am posting here.
I wrote small vbscript function to add registry key and value. here is the script.
strComputer = "."
Set oReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
keyPath = "*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\WWBuildShell64Ext"
Return = oReg.CreateKey HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT ,keyPath
If (Return = 0) And (Err.Number = 0) Then
Wscript.Echo "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MyKey\MySubKey created"
Else
Wscript.Echo "CreateKey failed. Error = " & Err.Number
End If
it is returning 6. What does it mean? how to solve this?
Regards,
