ODS_HOTLIGHT not working...

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 05:15:39 -0700

Hi, for some reason I can't make the ODS_HOTLIGHT flag on the DRAWITEMSTRUCT work! When I debugged, I didn't recieve any message when i hover my mouse over the button, it's as if the flag doesn't exist or something. I also read somewhere (CodeGuru i think) that the ODS_HOTLIGHT flag is only used for combo and list boxes... I need help ASAP. Thanks. Btw, here's the code (just a small piece of it):

case WM_DRAWITEM:
pdis = (LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT) lParam ;

switch(pdis->CtlID) // checks the control item of child...
{
case ID_MINUS:
if(pdis->itemState & ODS_HOTLIGHT) // case mouse hover {
SelectObject (hdcBitmap, hbitmaps.minus.down) ;
BitBlt(pdis->hDC, 0, 0, 30, 30, hdcBitmap, 0, 0, SRCCOPY) ;
}
return 0 ;

P.S.: sorry for the lack of organization, this edit box is really annoying to use.

App Pool Recycle Status

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 01:09:58 -0700

Hi,
As per attached is a .vbs file that helps check for the App Pool status as per indicated from Case 1 - 4 or otherwise reflected as unknown. However, after the status is checked, id need help to write the script to run 2 .bat files that i have created that would help trigger a mail (Ex. AppPoolSucessmail.bat & AppPoolFailure.bat as per the status of the AppPool. Tentatively a comparison of status has to be done before sending the respective mail.

Ex;
1) If the App pool status is 'Running'.....then trigger AppPoolSucessmail.bat

2) If the App Pool status is 'Stopped, starting or unknown' then trigger
AppPoolFailure.bat

so that as per the mail sent, if necessary, I can manually trigger the recycle.

Thanks for ur help and advice.

Looking for a general book on the Microsoft architecture.

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 11:02:07 -0700

Hello, I have a strange question. I'm looking for a very general book on the whole Microsoft (and maybe non-Microsoft ) programming environment.I would like to have a big picture of all the technologies available today.The book could cover topics like the following:

-What is COM, OLE, ActiveX, and differences between them
-What is VBScript, VBA and Visual Basic and differences between them.
-Evolution of Visual Basic, evolution of Visual C,etc...
-The .NET framework, what it its, what are it's features,etc...
-What is ASP
-What is SQL
-The windows API, what it is, it's features,etc..

I'm not interested in detailed information on anything, like "how to use the if..then statement" but just a general description of each technology, it's features, etc...I know I could look all those doubts individually using Wikipedia, but it would be great to have a structured mental map in my head of the I&T technologies and products available today, so if for example I'd say: "I want to program an extremely portable application" , well then I
would know that maybe Java was the answer.

I always have the feeling there's a lot of specific documentation for individual programming languages, but I've never found a big general description of the available languages and tools that would give me "the big picture". For example, I've never programmed a webpage in my life (only stand-alone applications) but if I wanted to start tomorrow, it would be nice to have a general idea of what is XML,HTML,etc... and which would be more suitable depending on a set of requirements, so I could then go to a shop and buy "The XML Bible" or "Teach yourself PHP in 24 hours" and so on. Sadly, I imagine this book only exists in my head. Thanks to all for any help you can give me.

PS: English is not my native language, so please excuse any mistakes in my writing.

My PC is running like new.

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 05:28:59 -0700

I was having trouble with my new computer running slow after I had only had it for a few months. I was upset thinking it was something wrong with my computer until I realized that I needed a good scan to clean out those bugs and viruses that was the real problem. When I started using Orbasoft Antispyware it took care of this problem and now my PC is running like new again. The antispyware solution from Orbasoft, which you can find at http://www.orbasoft.com, has made a big difference for me and I’m sure you’ll be happy with it too.

Beginner: what lang to use?

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 18:32:20 -0700

Hi Im a total beginner to win programing. Previously I have been using C++ (both on win and linux). But I need to upgrade as the text-only interface is getting frustrating. I'm an engg student and I wont be creating any complicated progs for a while.

So I was wondering which language would be the better choice for me. I tried to find out how to prog win32 in C++ but it got me confused. Then I downloaded MS visual studio pro trial and tried C#. The Visual editor was pretty handy but then its a whole new language for me.

For now I'll give an ex. Attached is a basic calculator I made for a game. After some input, it tell you the defence and offence. I need to make it into a visual calc so that the user dosent have to type so many things. Also I want to add some more features like pasting mission info (basically containing most of the required input).

Any help in this regard and any guides/books for me to refer to would be greatly appreciated :)

ps. I dont have the .cpp file right now as im in the library but i attached a print screen of the prog (Since I cant attach .exe files).

Windows Screensaver Password

Fri, 29 May 2009 07:07:22 -0700

Hi,

I have a requirement to develop an application which will programatically return from the "On Resume, password protect" option in a Windows screensaver.

The basic idea is that a laptop will have this option turned on but rather than enter a password to resume from the screensaver the user will scan an RFID tag over a reader to resume working.

The RF reader software is in place but I am unsure of how I can programatically get windows to resume from the password protect option in a screensaver.

Any clues as to how I could achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

We try to automate numbering in word (docx) by adding numbering to all headers and then making the numbers continuos. We found that this was broken by not numbered paragraphs. we decided then to automatically add numbering also tothe paragraphs but found some cases in which it fails because of some “\r\a" characters. any Idea what it is and how to solve it?

thanks

scrollable window with child-windows

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:17:35 -0700

Hi,

first, what I need is a window + scrollbar as a parent "container" for child-windows. So that I can place outside the visible window-rect and scroll to make them visible. Or, to make a better picture, something like a listbox but instead of text-item I want to have windows as items.

I tried the static-, button-controls as parent window with the WS_VSCROLL-style and I tried a child-scrollbar-window as well.
But whatever I try, I never get any WS_VSCROLL-message -- only NCITEST and WM_LBUTTON usw. messages.

ok. here Is one variation with seperate scrollbar:

hwndPropertyParent = CreateWindowEx( 0, "button", "group", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, rAkt.left, rAkt.top, rAkt.right, rAkt.bottom, hwndControl, (HMENU)ID_PROPERTYPARENT, 0, 0);

hwndPropertyParentScroll = CreateWindowEx( 0, "SCROLLBAR", "", WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | SBS_RIGHTALIGN | SBS_VERT, rAkt.right-20, 0, 20, rAkt.bottom, hwndPropertyParent, (HMENU)ID_PROPERTYPARENTSCROLLBAR, 0, 0);

and another one with automatic scrollbar:

hwndPropertyParent = CreateWindowEx( 0, "button", "group", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE WS_VSCROLL, rAkt.left, rAkt.top, rAkt.right, rAkt.bottom, hwndControl, (HMENU)ID_PROPERTYPARENT, 0, 0);

Does anyone see anything what can help me?
Thank in advance. Rob

LogonUser() API blocks with wrong credentials

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 10:08:09 -0700

Hi,

We are impersonating a user in an application that runs as a service. The service under which the application is running is started with Logon as Local System Account.

User have all the required previledge required like log on as service.
After providing correct credentials we are able to do successful impersonation

if the password passed to LogonUser() API is wrong it blocked/hanging.
we are using OS: Windows XP

For impersonation we are calling LogonUser() API

LogonUser(mailbox,domain,m_szPassword,
LOGON32_LOGON_SERVICE,
LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT,
&hToken))

steps followed for impersonation are as follows-
1. LookupPrivilegeValue for SE_TCB_NAME
2. OpenProcessToken
3. AdjustTokenPrivileges
4. LogonUser
5. LoadUserProfile
6. ImpersonateLoggedOnUser

any suggestion would be great help for us.

Thanks in advance

Child Modeless Dialog Box Topmost

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 16:51:49 -0700

Hi, I want to create a modeless dialog box that stay above other windows. All windows are child, including the dialog box, but I can't get that.
I've seen at this link for a solution, but there say it's impossible get it if I don't use MDI child windows or MFC (I've used the solution of the second post but didn't work). I don't want to use that so I ask if anyone know how to get it with pure winapi.

Thanks a lot.

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 22:42:42 -0700

Hi everyone,

I want my application to process only keyboard input but not any other device's input, like barcode. I have a window with an edit box there. Focus is on edit box which is a child window of the main window. I want that my edit box should not take barcode scanner's input. But if i press any key on keyboard , it should take it. I have heard about Windows Hooks. but i m unable to distinguish between the messages coming from keyboard and barcode reader. As my application will get WM_CHAR msg in both cases. Can hooks help me...? if yes then how..? Please help me as soon as possible.. it's very important.
