I typed in "disable keyboard" at CP and received multiple hits! The first of which should answer your question.

Hi I'm new so forgive me for asking a question like this  but upon examining some code that im trying to understand I found a line where it declares a pointer of a struct and allocates memory for it in the declaration for it as well. The next part is what confuses me, the next line proceeds to zeromemory the entire thing.. would that not erase the struct at that memory location and create a void/null area of memory?

Yes. The purpose of ZeroMemory() is to initialize a structure with known data (i.e. all zeroes), before passing it to an API that will populate some or all of its fields.

Yes it does. That is exactly it's purpose. If you don't do that the structure would contain unknown data that was previously assigned to the memory address for an unknown purpose. Experience shows that not initializing variables to a known value, zero in this case, is a bad mistake that will almost always come back to haunt you.
Does that help?

Thanks to both of you, I understand now.

You're correct. ZeroMemory will zero out the length of memory that you point it to.
It sounds like they're using it to ensure the structures memory is zero to initialize it. Tough to say without seeing the actual code and structre definition.

Does anyone have any suggestions on retrieving a recordset dynamically (this fields will be based on what the user chooses)? I tried using CRecordset, but it won't let me because the fields aren't bound. I've used ODBC before, but that seems kinda messy. In vb it's easy to use the connection's execute method of an ado connection that'll return a read-only recordset, but I'm trying to see if there's a similar method in C++. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
If it's broken, I probably did it

No, there is nothing similar in C++. There is however the exact same thing  , ADO.
I recommend using the ATL libraries and the #import technique for working with COM interfaces in C++.
But, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong.

Sorry, after I went back home and looked through one of my books I found exactly what you were talking about! Thanks for your help

Hello,
Inspired by Ivo Ivanov's article on process creation notification, I wrote a kernel-mode driver that notifies a user-mode application when a process is created. The driver itself works fine. However, when the driver is running, EnumProcessModules fails with the following error message:
"Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed"
Here is more information on what I'm doing:
- When a new process is created, the driver passes the process Id to the user-mode application.
- Using the process Id, the user-mode application calls OpenProcess to obtain a handle to the process.
- The user-mode application then calls EnumProcessModules, which fails.
Two notes:
1) EnumProcessModules doesn't fail when the driver is not running.
2) EnumProcessModules doesn't fail when I'm debugging my user-mode application.

Anyone have any clues or code samples for pulling SCSI Controller BIOS information like the FirmWare Version that is not WMI? I'm looking at some Compaq SmartArray Controllers and need the FirmWare (Hardware Version (ROM)) Version which is blank using WMI.

Hi,
I've been using the CAviFile class to open an avi file in an MFC app in order to grab the first frame - this works for an avi where the codec is CRAM (Microsoft Video 1) - (bitmap header biCompression = CRAM). But when I try to grab a frame from an avi from a Fuji digital camera (biCompression = MJPG) it can't do. I suspect this is because Visual Studio can't find the
codec. I thought the required codec might be in the
quartz.dll but this is already in the VC98/Lib - ie its available to the app.
Has anyone got any ideas?

There are lots of examples considering in using databases with the help of MFC or ATL. However, there are not many when it comes to plain Win32 programming, mostly because it becomes quite difficult.
For starters, I'd suggest you take a few hours off and digest the MSDN topic "ODBC Programmer's Reference" found here. This topic hosts all the concepts, functions, structures and whatever you need to utilize a database in pure Win32.
A whole lot easier (and nowadays more useful) approach is to use ATL/COM (ADO) to access the data source. This way, you don't need to resort to MFC overhead, but you can use pre-made or pre-configured components to fetch and send data from a datasource without much hassle. A few examples can be found here on Code Project from this link. Be careful, as we are only interested in ADO data access. There are many other articles in other sections at this area also, but many of them utilize MFC as their base.
The last resort, of course, is to use MFC. It's simple, it's efficient, it's easy to use.

Hi,
I am new to programmming and in a fit of practice I have developed a small, simple DataBase. It simply has the next, last, previous, first buttons with all the fields. I then started planning to have a list box off to the side that would display all the records in the recordset alphabetically. This got me thinking, although I have 1.5 Gigs of RAM, if I decide to let others use it, they may run out of memory as the DataBase gets bigger.
This brings me to the question (sorry it took so long), is there a way to have each record added to its own .text file and access each of those as needed? Closing out the last one open? I don't know how to read from txt files yet and thought if this sounds plausible to someone maybe they could direct me to some education on dealing with it. I'd really appreciate any guidance.

If you are new to programming, then trust me when I honestly say that programming a database system, simple or not, is NOT the thing to start with. It is very difficult to design a database (I believe that's why Oracle's database solutions cost so much ?), so perhaps you should try with something bit easier at first ?
Reading further into your post, I see that you're planning an approach that uses files as record storage. This is far from efficient, considering that your database could contain thousands of entries. And what about when it goes over that ? Searching and retrieving data from that would take a long time indeed.
The last point of problem relies in the query language. Most databases nowadays support Structured Query Language (SQL) that is already, by itself, quite difficult to implement, as it contains a whole set of conditional and operative instructions.
A much easier way to learn programming is to develop a small, simple database application that uses an already-existing database system (such as MySQL, Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server) to query for data stored there and displays it on a form view, for example. Speaking of form views, by the way, leads me to notify that the subject of your post and the context of it are in no way related. This should be avoided in the future.
In order to learn programming with Visual Studio, go to a local library and get any title starting with "Teach yourself Visual Studio 6 in xx days". These books, and there are numerous, are very useful in learning aids.

I personally would not want to wade through a listbox that contained thousands of items, even if they were sorted, not to mention how long it could take to load. You might want to consider a virtual listbox. It only bothers "loading" those items that are actually visible. All others are kept in a data structure.

This is unlikely since virtual memory will pick up the slack.

Thank you David. How about a list box that rests under an edit field where the user would enter the first letter of the last name and have the list box display only the records according to the query?
I'm new enough to be kind of skittish working with SQL (but it is in the plans to tackle an education to that end), yet curious/ambitious enough to "play" around with this database. I'm learning quite a bit and am feeling more confident the more I succeed at a given task.
I appreciate your input.

Yes, that's plausible.
