Hi Folks,

I've got a problem with the code below:



char** map;
int iRows = 40;
int iColumns = 50;

Hi Folks,

I need to receive the entry point from a function in "jscript.dll". Actually, it's not a real
exported function, but let me explain it (I'm not really expirienced with COM).

Some...

What you are trying to do is swim against the stream, that is the problem all game developers
have since day 1.
cj-wijtmans post is maybe the best advice, not using any win api calls (any function...

Great statement for 2009!

You probably should give people who are trying to help you, a little bit more respect. Your comments above didn't sound so.

Anyways, I wish you a happy new year :-)

Big words for someone who asks a lot of, "noobish" questions.
Think about it.

Hello Folks,

I have some trouble figuring this out correctly. If you have a function that should
manipulate a string in some way, you probably do it like this:



wchar_t *strmani(wchar_t...

I does not look wrong actually. I assume your "errormessage()" prints
the GetLastError() result.

You should try to add a backslash "\\" as last character even if SetCurrentDirectory should do...

Within a WM_PAINT, you have to draw to the DC returned
by BeginPaint().



case WM_PAINT:{
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC myDC = BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);

// do whatever

FindFirstFile() & FindNextFile() will do it.

I stopped reading when I saw this:



std::string dll_attrib = "theDLL.dll";
registerHooks = (registerCall)GetProcAddress(hinstLib, dll_attrib.c_str());


there is no function in your lib (at...

Try not to assign values, you should copy your string using lstrcpyW() / wcscpy() / strcpy() / StringCchCopy() or a similar function.

Copy the byte array with memcpy() / wmemcpy() or a similar...

Well, I just assume you are using standard sockets for data transfer.
So you should have a thread in your server application just waiting for some data to receive
in your example.
If your clients...

I will not ask why you don't just use the handle you already could have.
So I'll try to give an answer to your question.

If you don't know the dialogs or the controls handle, there are some api...

Hi Folks,

is there a way to track down a file handle (if its a disk file obv) to its filename ?

I know about GetFileInformationByHandleEx(), but I don't like a "vista or better" requirement.

I'm really confused.
Regardless if you assign the return value of CreateDialog, it returns a HWND.
If you just do not assign this value to a variable you do not have a direct access to this window,...

Great comment.
Are you kidding me? Just paste a link to whatever you mean if you know for sure what
the problem is about.

I'm pretty much helpless on that too.
The rectangle is ok, I'm drawing it with FillRect().

I'm using exactly the code I posted, I Just changed the InitCommonControls() with InitCommonControlsEx()...

Hi Folks,

I got one question about Deleting a queue timer. Do I have/need to call
DeleteTimerQueueTimer() for a queue timer that was created with a WT_EXECUTEONLYONCE flag?

I think it's a...

Thanks for the answers, I adapted my the code but still, no tooltip is showing up.
It looks like this now:



case WM_INITDIALOG:{

InitCommonControls();

Thanks for answering, but thats not what I need.

I need to detect another application or process, so the question is still open:

What is the most reliable method of detecting an application?

haha :>
Well I'm cheating on games like tetris and gradius. Fooling around with win32 and data/memory managment.

Is there anything wrong in this piece of code?



void CreateToolTip(HWND hwndParent, RECT rectTip, LPWSTR lpTipString){
HWND hwndTT = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_TOPMOST,
TOOLTIPS_CLASS, NULL,...

Hi Folks,

I was wondering about the different ways to find/detect a running application or a process.
Afaik, if you know the window class and/or title of an application you can easily use...
