Hello guys.
I am new here, hope we will have good time together.
I've been writing some code and this is part of it:
The file gets downloaded successfully but the downloader wont exit (return value 0). So it remains active.Code:...
URLDownloadToFile(NULL, _T("http://something/something.txt"), path, 0, NULL);
return 0;
}
I am sure the problem is URLDownloadToFile()
Anyone have idea what's going on?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Express.
Thanks for your time.
Where is your check of the return code of URLDownloadToFile? What does that function return?Quote:

When I remove that line, the program exists successfully, and with it, it wont end.
How long did you wait for the URLDownloadToFile return?Quote:

That is not what I asked.Quote:

When you call an API function that is documented to return a value back to you, you're code should be checking the return code. Just assuming that functions "work" without checking return codes is not the way to use an API properly.

And I'm sure it's not. :)Quote:
