Re: Simple code kills Windows (2000)... James R. Twine2-Nov-01 7:45 James R.

Re: Simple code kills Windows (2000)... Nish Nishant2-Nov-01 7:53 Nish Nishant 2-Nov-01 7:53  OK But it might interest you to know that the first time someone posted that code here [it was a guy named Colin] another guy tried it out and rebooted his machine [a guy named nish] and then there was a few threads on that which had about 100 posts. Nish Re: Simple code kills Windows (2000)... #realJSOP2-Nov-01 8:06 #realJSOP 2-Nov-01 8:06  However, there was no point in deleting the original post. In fact, it's damn irritating when someone deletes a post after other people have started responding to it.

Re: Simple code kills Windows (2000)... Paul A. Howes2-Nov-01 9:49 Paul A. Howes 2-Nov-01 9:49  I didn't mean any offense, James. Your original post said that the error occured on a specific line of the C-runtime library, and ended with the statement, "and was discovered by [name deleted]." That was the end of your post. There was no indication that you wanted to discuss it further or talk about possible solutions. At first blush, it appeared to be a "Me, too!" post instead of a coherant discussion. You didn't even mention the name of the person who discovered where the bug lay. That is more of a tease, than anything else. If you would like to repost your original message, but provide better direction for the discussion that will ensue, I, and probably others, would be interested in examining this obvious shortcoming of Microsoft's implementation of the Standard C Library! -- Paul "I drank...

It also previously ended with the single word "Thoughts?". > I, and probably others, would be interested in examining this obvious shortcoming > of Microsoft's implementation of the Standard C Library!    IIRC, the underlying cause is actually in an underlying Win32 function used by the C-RTL implementation.    The problem was was researched and discovered by someone else whose name was on the original post.  I removed it after the first reply, because there was no need for that person to be getting similar emails.    Peace! -=- James. Handling the file list view menu setting for the windows File Open dialog 2-Nov-01 2:42 2-Nov-01 2:42  Hi, I need to manipulate the resource buttons for the file list view setting(list,details,large/small icons) in the standard file open dialog so as to remember the settings. So, anyone give me the handle to these resources. Thanks Paritosh. another question about MouseProc Maer7272-Nov-01 2:37 Maer727 2-Nov-01 2:37  - Why should we use global data (　#pragma data_seg ... ...) in the "MouseProc" function to store information? - For example, I use MouseProc to get other process's main window title. I implement MouseProc in a Dll. And store the title (in MouseProc) in a global variable (#pragma data_seg ... ...). - I do not know why should we store other process's main window title in a global variable. Like what I have done. - Can you help? Can you show me an example? - Have a nice weekend, Maer about MouseProc Maer7272-Nov-01 2:21 Maer727 2-Nov-01 2:21  - Where should I implement function "MouseProc" in a dll?

I might be wrong though. There might be some obscure function. Re: formatting number to kb markkuk2-Nov-01 2:01 markkuk 2-Nov-01 2:01  The STL locale support includes functions to format numbers with correct grouping and and separators. You are right, they are obscure and nearly undocumented in MSVC++.

When the user fills in the data for the perl script on my webpage, it creates a file in the settlers.net/snetdownload/users folder called $username.$password - $username being the data the person entered into the username field and $password being the password the user entered into the field. Okay, now in my program. I have 2 edit controls. m_username and m_password. Okay, say in my perl script I entered Ashman as the username and cheese as the password it would create a file, Ashman.cheese I need my program to check that the I have put in Ashman in the username and cheese in the password field and then validate that the file exists with the server. If I put in Ashman as the username and choose as the password, it will not find the file ashman.choose so it will say, Could not login. Get my drift? Ashman Re: File validation on a server Rassman2-Nov-01 2:01 Rassman 2-Nov-01 2:01  I don't do perl, but I know a thing or two about security and I can't see much point in a password at all if its going to be so easy to see what it is. Assuming your user names have to be unique anyway you do not need the password to be on display at all. I would pass the username and password to the system to do the validation, then if your program wants to know who is logged in it can ask. We do it for the joy of seeing the users struggle.
