Re: NT Service with a GUI Tim Deveaux10-Jul-01 7:21 Tim Deveaux 10-Jul-01 7:21  Messages are easy enough - just call MessageBox with the MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION flag set. No need to be logged in. Administration really is best done by a separate desktop app communicating with the service - for example, you could set up a loopback TCP connection on an unused port with which to communicate from your admin dialog to the service. If _monitoring_ the service is the primary goal, maybe UDP would be easier. Re: NT Service with a GUI Giles10-Jul-01 8:28 Giles 10-Jul-01 8:28  A good book on Services is Programming Server-Side Applications for Windows 2000. It covers NT in general, and points out the pitfalls in advance, along with integration/administration/performance, scalability, security and stability issues which you should be aware of if writing services. Its kind of a service bible. Giles Re: NT Service with a GUI Gennady Oster10-Jul-01 21:47 Gennady Oster 10-Jul-01 21:47  Hi! Possible decision - create the regular GUI application (may be - CPL), that stores the config info into the Registry, and in the service use RegNotifyChangeKeyValue to be informed, when the change occured, to be able to retrieve the new values. Regards, Gennady Re: NT Service with a GUI Claudius Mokler10-Jul-01 22:40 Claudius Mokler 10-Jul-01 22:40  A NT Service may well have a GUI, but this comes with some drawbacks. Only services running in the "local system" user account can have the priviledge "interact with desktop", which is needed to have a visual GUI. The "local system" user account is restricted in some access rights, for instance, it isn't allowed to open the client side of named pipes. Another drawback is that every user who logs on to the machine the service runs on is abled to see and interact with the service's GUI. This is not feasible for secure operation. I would recommend using a separate GUI application for interaction with the service. Simple commands could be sent from GUI to service using user-defined codes for the ControlService() function. Data could be sent using named pipes or shared memory (who'd want to do it that way?!) or sockets. Re: NT Service with a GUI Nick Van den Abbeele11-Jul-01 0:03 Nick Van den Abbeele 11-Jul-01 0:03  Why not creating a service with the ATL wizard and use the COM mechanism to interact between your service and your GUI application ? It's easier to use then named pipes or shared memory. After creating a service with the ATL wizard, you can adapt the CServiceModule::Run to do whatever you like (running code, adding COM objects, ...). There's a book about NT services that covers all of this (even how to optimize ATL created services for performance). -Nick- ListBox AddString Useage otvac10-Jul-01 4:57 otvac 10-Jul-01 4:57  I am trying to populate a ListBox in a dialog. My error is in this line: m_MyDialog.m_ctlMyListBox.AddString("Hello"); I can populate the list box AFTER I open the dialog, but if I try to place anything in the ListBox BEFORE I open the dialog, I get a assertion error. I can, however, set other variables in the dialog prior to opening it. Where have I failed? Richard Re: ListBox AddString Useage Tomasz Sowinski10-Jul-01 5:06 Tomasz Sowinski 10-Jul-01 5:06  CListBox::AddString is just a thin MFC wrapper over Win32 message LB_ADDSTRING. The function will work only if your CListBox variable is properly initialized (mapped to some HWND). The initialization usually occurs in DoDataExchange called from CDialog::OnInitDialog - DDX_Control does this. You can't initialize CListBox before dialog is created - there's no listbox window to be associated with C++ member variable of type CListBox. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Re: ListBox AddString Useage 10-Jul-01 6:32 10-Jul-01 6:32  Hello, the codegurus around the world. If you have no idea of that ListBox is acutally created or not, we can check this by GetSafeHwnd() or GetDlgItem(); if (m_MyDialog.m_ctlMyListBox.GetSafeHwnd()) or if (m_MyDialog.GetDlgItem(IDC_MYLISTBOX)) These values isn't NULL, we can add the string to the list box. Otherwise, we must change the location which the code tries to add the strings to the listbox. Have a nice day. -Masaaki Onishi- Re: ListBox AddString Useage Andrew Peace10-Jul-01 12:43 Andrew Peace 10-Jul-01 12:43  Populating a list box with it's initial contents is usually done in OnInitDialog(). You could always have a list of items in a collection which the OnInitDialog functions puts in the listbox at runtime if you needed to set your items up before the dialog is created. > Andrew.

I can't figure out what handles are I mean for example the hWnd and hInstance?! My guess is that they are some kind of pointers? The documentation of c++ doesn't tell me anything interesting. And I couldn't find anything on the internet. Please help me and tell me what they are for Thanks, WAVK Re: handles Tomasz Sowinski10-Jul-01 1:14 Tomasz Sowinski 10-Jul-01 1:14  Handles are used for identifying OS objects (files, device contexts, windows, pens, etc). They may be pointers, array indices, map keys or something entirely else - the point is that the value of the handle is understood only by system. Your app is expected to use the handle via API functions - there's no need to 'interpret' their values other than checking for NULL or INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Re: handles 10-Jul-01 1:22 10-Jul-01 1:22  the type HANDLE is actually defined as void * Re: handles Tomasz Sowinski10-Jul-01 1:29 Tomasz Sowinski 10-Jul-01 1:29  It doesn't matter. It's just a 32-bit value. On my W2K box calling CreateFile just returned HANDLE == 0x54, which is not a valid pointer, but perfectly valid file handle. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com Thanks 10-Jul-01 1:38 10-Jul-01 1:38  No wonder I didn't understand them. This must be the most abstract thing of c WAVK Re: Thanks markkuk10-Jul-01 21:11 markkuk 10-Jul-01 21:11  Handles are a feature of Windows API, not the C++ language. That's why they aren't mentioned in C/C++ books. How can i find out if outlook is running? 10-Jul-01 0:10 10-Jul-01 0:10  Hi, I need to be able to find out whether there is a process called OUTLOOK.EXE running. How do I do this? Also, once i've found the process, I'll be displaying a message to the user to close it... but i suppose a neater way would be to close it for them. is this possible? Thanks Re: How can i find out if outlook is running? Tomasz Sowinski10-Jul-01 1:08 Tomasz Sowinski 10-Jul-01 1:08  Searching for process is possible, but you need to use different techniques on Win9x/Me and NT/2000. It will be easier to use FindWindow or FindWindowEx to find a window with given class name and/or caption. You can check the class name of the main Outlook window using Spy++.

Thanks for all the help. Re: SOS!!! 9-Jul-01 23:47 9-Jul-01 23:47  Convert to LPTSTR and then CString example LPBYTE lpData; LPTSTR lpText; CString szText; lpText = (LPTSTR)lpData; szText = lpText; or LPBYTE lpData; CString szText; szText = (LPTSTR)lpData;
