Stopping devices in Windows 98

Hello!

I have got task to write easy security tool for MS Windows 98. It must deny access to specified local CD-ROM device. I think one of the possible solution is to stop corresponding device driver on demand. So the question is: which win32 functions should i use for enumerating devices and stopping drivers? Or should it be done by other way? Or may be you know the right "search string" for MSDN or Google to find good explanation?
Sorry for my bad English.

Thank you!

You can do it with Windows Management Instrumnetation(WMI) classes. Search fot it in MSDN or google.

ayyy,
im doing a device countrol system interfacing telephone...that is user calls....select the device to be activated ....my vc++ program triggeres the givn device connected with my modem to be activated.....but to make this happen we need some functions of TAPI...coud any one help me out with some sample codes or reference....

waiting..

The Platform SDK has plenty of TAPI samples.

You can also try

http://www.julmar.com/samples.htm[^]

or search this forum for TAPI as there have been many similar questions answered.

ListControl with shell icons

rrrado4-Mar-04 6:15

I'm creating own file browser based on CListCtrl - report mode.
I need to display the same folder's icon as windows explorer do.
I'm using SHGetFileInfo() to get the image.
My problem is that (in Windows XP - not tested in older systems)
the image is displayed with ugly solid black shadow around icon, (my list control has white background)
where system displays nice gradual shadow of the icon.
But when I set this icon into icon static control, it is displayed correctly.
Code I use to create image list :

m_listImg.Create(16,16,ILC_COLOR32|ILC_MASK,0,10);
CBitmap bmpTmp;
bmpTmp.Attach(::LoadImage(AfxGetResourceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_FILELIST),
    IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_CREATEDIBSECTION|LR_LOADTRANSPARENT));
m_listImg.Add(&bmpTmp, RGB(255,0,255));

SHFILEINFO fi;
SHGetFileInfo("C:\\",0,&fi,sizeof(fi),SHGFI_ICON|SHGFI_SMALLICON);

m_listImg.Replace(9,fi.hIcon);   // original static drive's icon replaced by shell's icon

Any ideas ?
Thank you !

I generally just use the shell's image list, rather than copying the images into my own. First, set the list control to use shared image lists (so you don't delete the shell's list!) by setting the LVS_SHAREIMAGELISTS style. Then:

UINT uFlags = SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES|SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX|SHGFI_ICON|SHGFI_SMALLICON;
SHFILEINFO sfi;
HIMAGELIST hIL = (HIMAGELIST)::SHGetFileInfo(_T("BogusFilename.dat"), 
   FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, &sfi, sizeof(sfi), uFlags);
if ( NULL != hIL )
   m_ListCtrl.SetImageList(CImageList::FromHandle(hIL), LVSIL_SMALL);
if ( NULL != sfi.hIcon )
   ::DestroyIcon(sfi.hIcon);

Then, just use the SHGFI_SYSICONINDEX flag in your call to SHGetFileInfo() to find the index into the shell's list of the icon you want.

Oh yeah, one more thing - make sure your program includes a manifest so that the new WinXP controls are used. Otherwise, they won't know how to handle alpha channels... Wink | ;)

But the problem is that i need to display not only system icons, but also couple of my icons, co I can't directly use system image list Frown | :(

I'll try to duplicate and then rebuild system's image list Smile | :)

Seems that CImageList::Create() will always create image list with 1-bit mask, which is not enough for alpha channel Frown | :(

__int64 question

Hi,

I just upgraded a portion of my code from int to __int64, everything looked fine but the only problem is that it looks like this data type could not be serialized.....

Anyone know a 64bit data type in MFC that can be serialized ?

Shay\
error C2593: 'operator <<' is ambiguous
error C2679: binary '>>' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type '__int64' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

It is not one of the supported data types that the CArchive class has provided overloaded operators for. So, you will need to use CArchive Write and Read methods, passing the address of the __int64 var.

onwards and upwards...

Thanks, but one more thing

When I use ar.Write or ar.Read, it looks for a pointer to a buffer.
It looks like when I read, it read more that needed, even though I specified 64 in the second paramter.

So....
If I need to serialize a 64 bit number using write, should it be:
ar.Write (&number,64)?
and read back:
ar.Read (&number,64);

Re: __int64 question

basementman4-Mar-04 6:39

first off, your __int64 variable is NOT 64 bytes long. It is 64 BITS long, which, when divided by 8 bits per byte, is 8 bytes. So, you should pass 8 for the second param ( or sizeof(__int64) ).

ar.Write(&number,8);
-- or --
ar.Write(&number,sizeof(__int64));

onwards and upwards...

Try using the LARGE_INTEGER data type. Text between asterisks is text quoted directly from the MSDN documentation on the data type

***********************
LARGE_INTEGER

The LARGE_INTEGER structure is used to represent a 64-bit signed integer value.

Note Your C compiler may support 64-bit integers natively. For example, Microsoft® Visual C++® supports the __int64 sized integer type. For more information, see the documentation included with your C compiler.

typedef union union
{ struct
{ DWORD LowPart;
LONG HighPart;
}; LONGLONG QuadPart;
} LARGE_INTEGER, *PLARGE_INTEGER;
*************************************

hope this helped!

I once wrote an extension to the CArchive class that handled serialization of the __int64 type. I can send it to you if you'd like.

First of all, you can send it, it never hurts to share someone elses wisdom.
Second, I already utilized the Write/Read functions of the archive.

Thanks!

I prefer to write a global operator>> and operator<< for datatypes like this, so that I can still use the syntax of a stream operator with the archive.

<br />
CArchive& operator<<( CArchive& archive, __int64 value )<br />
   {<br />
   archive.Write( &value, sizeof(__int64) );<br />
   return archive;<br />
   }<br />
<br />
CArchive& operator>>( CArchive& archive, __int64 value )<br />
   {<br />
   archive.Read( &value, sizeof(__int64) );<br />
   return archive;<br />
   }<br />

This works for simple data types. I use this for bool as VC6.0 doesn't implement serialization for bool, but this should also work fine for __int64.

Best regards,
John

Thanks for the tip! But don't forget to pass in the second parameter of operator>> by reference (__int64& value). Then it works perfectly!
