  • Fast method of directory enumeration on Win32?

    - by BillyONeal
    Hello everyone :) I'm trying to speedup directory enumeration in C++, where I'm recursing into subdirectories. I currently have an app which spends 95% of it's time in FindFirst/FindNextFile APIs, and it takes several minutes to enumerate all the files on a given volume. I know it's possible to do this faster because there is an app that does: Everything. It enumerates my entire drive in seconds. How might I accomplish something like this?

  • How do Hex editors display data so quickly?

    - by user146780
    I'v created a Notepad-like application and if I load a 1MB file into the textbox, it takes about 1 minute. The Visual Studio Binary editor displays lines, Hex, and ascii versions in a fraction of a second. How do they get the data into the textbox so quickly? Thanks

  • CreateProcessWithLogonW : unable to start process

    - by Vivek
    Hi I am completely new to programming. And please someone help me. I am trying to start a pocess from a service. I need to start the new process by prompting user to enter admin credentials. I was trying to use CreateProcessWithLogonW(). Am I using the right function. I tried to give input username, password, domain as localhost. I gave full pathe to the .exe file that i need to start. Here is the piece of code. CreateProcessWithLogonW(L"Administrator", L"localhost", L"password", 0, NULL, L"c:\myupdates\myapp.exe", NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS | CREATE_CONSOLE, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi); Si.cb = sizeof(si); Si.lpDesktop = L"winsta0\\default"; But the process never started. Can you guys tell me what I am doing wrong. And what do I need to do to promt user to enter credentials of administrator instead of hardcoding it.

  • Getting the full-name of the current user, returns an empty string (C#/C++)

    - by Nir
    I try to get the full-name of the current log-in user (Fullname, not username). The following code C#, C++ works fine but on XP computers not connected to the Net, I get empty string as result if I run it ~20 minutes after login (It runs OK whithin the first ~20 minutes after login) A Win32 API (GetUserNameEx) is used rather that PrincipalContext since it PrincipalContext may takes up to 15 seconds when working offline. Any Help why am I getting an empty string as result though a user full name is specified??? - C# Code public static string CurrentUserFullName { get { const int EXTENDED_NAME_FORMAT_NAME_DISPLAY = 3; StringBuilder userName = new StringBuilder(256); uint length = (uint) userName.Capacity; string ret; if (GetUserNameEx(EXTENDED_NAME_FORMAT_NAME_DISPLAY, userName, ref length)) { ret = userName.ToString(); } else { int errorCode = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error(); throw new Win32Exception("GetUserNameEx Failed. Error code - " + errorCode); } return ret; } } [DllImport("Secur32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)] private static extern bool GetUserNameEx(int nameFormat, StringBuilder lpNameBuffer, ref uint lpnSize); - Code in C++ #include "stdafx.h" #include <windows.h> #define SECURITY_WIN32 #include <Security.h> #pragma comment( lib, "Secur32.lib" ) int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { char szName[100]; ULONG nChars = sizeof( szName ); if ( GetUserNameEx( NameDisplay, szName, &nChars ) ) { printf( "Name: %s\n", szName); } else { printf( "Failed to GetUserNameEx\n" ); printf( "%d\n", GetLastError() ); } return 0; }

  • How to set the locale for a process launched by CreateProcess()

    - by VoidPointer
    When launching a process with CreateProcessW(), is it possible to have the process created with a different MBCP locale/codepage then the one that is configured as the system-wide default code page? In the target process, this should have the same effect as calling _setmbcp(). The target process is not a unicode-enabled and uses a plain main(int argc, char **argv) entry point. I would like to be able to select the code page to which unicode arguments passed to CreateProcessW() are converted to be different from the system's default codepage for non-unicode programs.

  • C++ NetUserAdd() not working?

    - by Brett Powell
    I posted earlier about how to do this, and got some great replies, and have managed to get the code written based off the MSDN example. However, it does not seem to be working properly. Its printing out the ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED message, but im not sure why as I am running it as a full admin. I was initially trying to create a USER_PRIV_ADMIN, but the MSDN said it can only use USER_PRIV_USER, but sadly neither work. Im hoping someone can spot a mistake or has an idea. Thanks! void AddRDPUser() { USER_INFO_1 ui; DWORD dwLevel = 1; DWORD dwError = 0; NET_API_STATUS nStatus; ui.usri1_name = L"DummyUserAccount"; ui.usri1_password = L"a2cDz3rQpG8"; //ignored by NetUserAdd //ui.usri1_password_age = -1; ui.usri1_priv = USER_PRIV_USER; //USER_PRIV_ADMIN; ui.usri1_home_dir = NULL; ui.usri1_comment = NULL; ui.usri1_flags = UF_SCRIPT; ui.usri1_script_path = NULL; nStatus = NetUserAdd(NULL, dwLevel, (LPBYTE)&ui, &dwError); switch (nStatus) { case NERR_Success: { Msg("SUCCESS!\n"); break; } case NERR_InvalidComputer: { fprintf(stderr, "A system error has occurred: NERR_InvalidComputer\n"); break; } case NERR_NotPrimary: { fprintf(stderr, "A system error has occurred: NERR_NotPrimary\n"); break; } case NERR_GroupExists: { fprintf(stderr, "A system error has occurred: NERR_GroupExists\n"); break; } case NERR_UserExists: { fprintf(stderr, "A system error has occurred: NERR_UserExists\n"); break; } case NERR_PasswordTooShort: { fprintf(stderr, "A system error has occurred: NERR_PasswordTooShort\n"); break; } case ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED: { fprintf(stderr, "A system error has occurred: ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED\n"); break; } } }

  • Overriding SetThreadExecutionState

    - by unixman83
    I am not sure if this belongs on serverfault or superuser. I would like to override SetThreadExecutionState(ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED) to be a no-op. How is this accomplished? Is there some registry setting that can be altered instead of API hooking? Blocking ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED will prevent apps from keeping the monitor powered on. I have an application (likely the antivirus) that is preventing some monitors from entering power-save and I think this function is the culprit.

  • Can you use Win32 GUI in a browser plugin?

    - by John
    Of course it would mean you're plugin is not cross-platform but let's focus on the technical side... Is a browser plugin (like done in NPAPI) restricted in what it can do? Or do you get fairly free reign to access the PC and the render-window you're given? For instance can you create Win32/MFC controls in your browser this way? A side question - is your browser plugin conceptually akin to a .DLL, which is therefore just arbitrary compiled code implementing a specific interface for browser control/communication?

  • How to send message from one dialog to another?

    - by zim22
    Hi! I was given a task. First dialog based application has 4 buttons (up, down, left, right). Second dialog based application has two controls (e.g. text area, button). When on the first dialog I click "left" button - controls on the second dialog must move to the left. But unfortunately I don't know Win32 API at all. How can I implement it? What kind of Win32 API mechanism should I be using? Thanks.

  • Howto obtain Per-Interface statistics on windows

    - by Canacourse
    I am trying to find the most used Network card on windows 200 or XP. I planned to obtain the number of packets sent trough each NIC to determine the main NIC. I thought IP Helper might give me this information but also it looks like the functions in IP helper only give stats for all interfaces. I know this can be done. Any ideas? Many Thanks...

  • C++ - Creating folder method

    - by Matthew
    I have the following method in C++: void create_folder(LPCWSTR full_folder) //Method to create folder in case it does not exist { if(!CreateDirectory(full_folder,attr)) //Checking whether the folder already exists { switch (GetLastError()) { case ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS: printf("The folder already exists!\n\n"); break; case NULL: printf("The folder does not exist!\n\n"); printf("The folder was created successfully!\n\n"); break; } } } In case the folder already exists, the correct message is displayed on the screen. However, if the folder does NOT exist, nothing is displayed on the screen, that is, the part identified by case NULL is not executed. How can I solve this problem? In other words, how can I get the code after the case NULL to run if the folder does not exist?

  • C/C++ detect network type

    - by Gavimoss
    I need to write a win32 c/c++ application which will be able to determine whether the PC it's running on is connected to one of 2 networks. The first network is the company LAN (which has no internet connection) and the second network is a standalone switch with a single PC connected to it (the PC that the program is running on). I'm pretty new to network programming but so far I have tried testing to see if a network drive which is held on our LAN can be mapped. This works fine if the PC is connected to the LAN, the drive mapping succeeds so so LAN detection is successful. However, if the PC is connected to the switch, this results in a VERY long timeout which is not a suitable as it will delay the program so much as to make it unusable. Does anyone have any alternative suggestions? I'm using c/c++ in VS 6.0

  • C/C++ memory usage API in Linux/Windows

    - by minjang
    I'd like to obtain memory usage information for both per process and system wide. In Windows, it's pretty easy. GetProcessMemoryInfo and GlobalMemoryStatusEx do these jobs greatly and very easily. For example, GetProcessMemoryInfo gives "PeakWorkingSetSize" of the given process. GlobalMemoryStatusEx returns system wide available memory. However, I need to do it on Linux. I'm trying to find Linux system APIs that are equivalent GetProcessMemoryInfo and GlobalMemoryStatusEx. I found 'getrusage'. However, max 'ru_maxrss' (resident set size) in struct rusage is just zero, which is not implemented. Also, I have no idea to get system-wide free memory. Current workaround for it, I'm using "system("ps -p %my_pid -o vsz,rsz");". Manually logging to the file. But, it's dirty and not convenient to process the data. I'd like to know some fancy Linux APIs for this purpose.

  • How can I notify an application of a programmatically set scrollbar value?

    - by Frerich Raabe
    My code involves standard Scroll Bar control and it happens that I need to change its value programmatically in some cases. I do this using SetScrollInfo function, as in this example: void setScrollBarValue( HWND scrollBar, int value ) { SCROLLINFO si = { sizeof( SCROLLINFO ); } si.fMask = SIF_POS; si.nPos = value; ::SetScrollInfo( scrollBar, SB_CTL, &si, true /* redraw */ ); } This appears to work fine (the thumb of the scrollbar moves around) but it fails to notify the rest of the application of the new scrollbar value. For instance, an edit control which uses the scroll bar (much like in the Windows notepad application) fails to scroll around because it doesn't get notified about the new scrollbar value. In case it matters: the scrollbar I'm modifying is not in the same process as the above setScrollBarValue function. Does anybody know how to achieve this?

  • Display processes that access a folder.

    - by Brendan Salt
    I am trying to write a simple program, preferably in C, that will watch a given directory. Whenever a process accesses that directory, I just want to print out the name of that process. It seems simple, but I am coming up short for solutions on MSDN. Does anyone know which library calls I will need for this, or any helpful advice? I have considered repeatedly querying for what processes have handles on the given directory and just watching for additions to that list.This approach just seems very intensive and I am hoping there is an easier way. Thanks.

  • Creating a Transparent Bitmap with GDI?

    - by user146780
    I want to implement a layering system in my application and was thinking of creating a bunch of transparent bitmaps, adding content to them then blitting them on top of each other, how can this be done without setting each pixel to (0,0,0,0). I'm using Pure win32, not MFC, thanks.

  • Read data from form

    - by Superhuman
    This is a strange question, I've never tried to do this before. I have a repetitive process requiring that I copy and paste data from text boxes in one program into another program for further processing. I'd like to automate this process using VB .NET. The application from which the data is gathered isn't mine, so I don't have ActiveX-like access to its controls. How would you write an application to gain access to a form from another application, to be able to find the controls on the form, and gather the values from them? Just experimenting, I've used the following code. This resulted in only the name of the form to which this code belongs. It didn't find the names of any other forms I have open, and I have a lot open to choose from. This is frustrating because it's only step one of what I'll need to do to make my life easier... Public Declare Function EnumWindows Lib "user32" (ByVal lpEnumFunc As CallBack, ByVal lParam As Integer) As Integer Public Delegate Function CallBack(ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal lParam As IntPtr) As Boolean Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim cb As New CallBack(AddressOf MyCallBack) EnumWindows(cb, 8) End Sub Public Function MyCallBack(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lparam As Long) As Boolean Dim frm As System.Windows.Forms.Control frm = System.Windows.Forms.Form.FromHandle(hwnd) If frm Is Nothing Then Return True If frm.Text <> "" Then TextBox1.Text += frm.Text & ", " End If Return True End Function Does anyone have a recommendation? Thanks, SH
