2) how can I enumerate the network adapters? I've found only a method that uses Iphlpapi which I don't want to use
Check for examples on GetAdaptersInfo.
I hope that helps.

This is exactly what I didn't want to use. GetAdaptersInfo is a function of Iphlpapi... 
-Dominik
_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al
do the same... but what do they do??

NetWkstaUserGetInfo() will give you the information, but will only work with WinNT/2k/XP. Win9x systems have the same function, but it is a 16-bit function callable by 16-bit code only, exported from netapi.dll. You can only do it using 16-bit code, and using thunking to interoperate with 32-bit code. Yes, it's complex, and No, I don't know exactly how to do it, but's it's possible 
This[^] article gives the information. The first call to NetWkstaGetInfo() will provide you with the domain name - look up the docs for NetWkstaGetInfo() to work out how to extract the information.
Hope this helps,

I know you can do #2, and I am guessing #1, using WBEM and WMI. WBEM is only included with Windows 2000 and XP, but I believe it can be installed on previous versions.
I'm a complete and utter newb when it comes to WMI/WBEM, but do some searches on them to see if it can do what you want. I think it's your best bet. I've done #2, but only on XP and using somebody else's wrapper class.

Hi
I want to write to screen: 'RéSUMé' . The characters 'é' in capital.
I made a CString strText("résumé");
strText.MakeUpper();
It makes all characters to upper expect for the 'é' ones.
I've looked up the character ascii code for 'é captital' and that is 201.
How can i put this character in the text?
Greetings
Jens

Why not hard-coding it when it isn't a dynamic string?
CString strText("RÉSUMÉ");

_outp(0x64, 0xAD);
and
__asm mov al, 0xAD __asm out 0x64, al

I have a (mostly) peer-to-peer application that uses windows sockets to communicate with a server and also has it's own web server to serve up information to other peers.
This all works perfectly until users put themselves behind a firewall/router/etc.
As far as I understand (see disclaimer above), a user can use a SOCKS 4/5 proxy server to gain access to the outside world for this kind of application, but the P2P application needs to be SOCKS compliant.
- Is this true?If so, what do I need to do to make my application SOCKS compliant?
- Do I need to make any changes to the server application?
Your help, assistance and guidance would be gratefully received.

Im using mfc's hotkey control. I can get the key and modifier by doing this:
WORD v_Key;
WORD v_Modifiers;
m_Play.GetHotKey(v_Key, v_Modifiers);
Now how on earth do I put this information into a char* so I can save it in a file.
Then once thats done how do I convert the string back to the WORD? eg do is do this (assuming the value of v_Key is in charstring):
v_Key = (WORD) *charstring;
If someone could point me to a tutorial that would be great

Depends. If you need it in a readable way like "A" + Alt+Shift then it's not that easy.
If it doesn't have to be saved in a readable way, why not storing the 2 words as they are? Just save the 4 bytes raw to the file. Loading is easy: just read the 4 bytes and copy them back to the 2 words.
If it has to be an ASCII string then I would convert the words to their numerical strings (100 -> "100") and save that string (use function itoa). To convert it back, use atoi.

I programme using Visual C++ 7 on Windows XP but would like to develop code to run on a minimum of Windows 98. I am confused on what modifications (if any) to make to the stdafx.h file.
Below is the text from the define part of the file.
#ifndef WINVER
#define WINVER 0x0410
#endif
#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0400
#endif
#ifndef _WIN32_WINDOWS
#define _WIN32_WINDOWS 0x0410
#endif
#ifndef _WIN32_IE
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0400
#endif
Thank you

I don't know what to tell you about your header file but,
you could actually do that by calling GetVersionEx to find the windows version your program is running on. If it's not the version that you like, then display a message and close the program.
However, my impression is that you want to do this because you want to make sure that a feature is present in the operating system. I read an article once about this and the only suggestions that I remember were to use LoadLibrary and then GetProcAddress to find out if certain functions are present. Also, you can use GetSystemMetrics for other features that you might be interested in. And finally you could use DllGetVersion. I am sure that there are other people that have more to add to this topic.

Thanks a lot.
I just want to ensure that my programme would run successfully in Windows 98, Me, 2000 even though I develop the codes on a Windows XP Machine.
Looking forward to getting a reply from you.

I am sorry. I thought you were asking about how to determine if your program is running on the correct windows version.
I really don't have an answer for your question. Usually when I use a function that is kind of new to me, I check the minimum OS requirements for it. Sorry, I can't help you.

I'm able to shut down, log off or restart windows by using ::ExitWindowEx, but don't know how to implement the "Lock Computer" feature which windows2000 has, any help appreciated.

First of all, thank you for providing the API name so I have some keyword to type when I start searching...
Second, I guess I need more help my compiler(vc++ 6.0) insists that "LockWorkStation" is an undeclared identity even though I have specifically(unnecessarily) included "<winuser.h>" which according to MSDN should be where "LockWorkStation" was declared, still got "undeclared identity". Maybe I need to install newer plateform sdk or something?
Thanks.

That would be a good idea
It is available with the files that come with VC6, but you need to #define _WIN32_WINNT (0x0500) or higher before including winuser.h.

Operating System: Windows XP Language: VC++ 6.0
Does anyone know of a good method to scroll images into a window (similar to how PowerPoint scrolls slides into view during a PowerPoint presentation). In particular I'm trying to develop an application that:
1. Loads images from disk and stores them in memory.
2. Scrolls a previously loaded image onto a window (bottom to top) at a configurable speed, over the top of any image that is already there.
3. Keeps processor usage to a minimum
I've done some experimenting with GDI+ using Graphics::DrawImage() to redraw the image onto the screen a couple of pixels at a time but it sends the processor usage on my computer up to 100%.
Regards
Martin

I use GDI+ and use FillRectangle() with a TextureBrush - it's considerably quicker than using DrawImage(). I haven't looked at the processor usage, but I think it would be much less - it doesn't have to scale the image like DrawImage() does (unless you specifically tell it to).
Hope this helps,

Is there priority when you set Background,
Foreground and Fog color?
I made Background & Fog the same color, but
I can't change the color of object drawn in the 3D space
When I change the color of background, this object color
changes as well. It wasn't problem before I insert this
fog function. Any Idea?
Thanks for help
