Anyone know how to retrieve the battery wear level?

It appears that the wear level is missing in Win32_Battery via WMI.

Hmm thanks guys something to think about.

I've been thinking of just creating my own file type or maybe even use XML files, and have each knowledge base item in a separate file, and each category...

Hi guys,

Basically I would like to implement a simple database in my own MFC Application just for shared information storage (its basically a Knowledge Base with search functions and keywords)....

Hi,


I have created a small MFC app that many people use at work which needs to be updated regularly. Its important that everyone has the latest EXE running to avoid data corruption etc..

As Paul mentioned, structs is probably the easiest way.

in header file:

typedef struct tagMYSTRUCT {
bool bHello;
int nHello;
CString csHello;
} MYSTRUCT;

Finally got it working!

PreTranslateMessage was not receiving WM_DEVICECHANGE (but all other messages appear to work fine).

I noticed HWDetect wasn't using PreTranslateMessage, so I used the...

Perhaps its because there are two different Object.h files in your project?

I would try renaming the Object.h file, or change the #ifndef OBJECT_H_ to OBJECT2_H_

If thats no help, then try...

This is driving me nuts lol

I downloaded the HWDetect article sample from here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/HwDetect.aspx
I recompiled the source in Visual Studio 2005 SP1 (because the...

Hi, thanks for the info.

I added RegisterDeviceNotification() exactly like in that article, but I still dont receive WM_DEVICECHANGE :(

The RegisterDeviceNotification() function was...

Finally got it working. I realized that there is the "Main" menu bar, which has sub "popup" menus.
I was adding the new item to the Main part, rather than the sub popup menu.

Thanks for the help Igor.

I haven't had time to try again (very busy at work :() but I'll have another read of MSDN when I get a chance.

With a lot of Microsoft coding, you need to spend a huge...

I'm confused, so do I need to add the new item to the submenu? (instead of the parent menu)

Why do Microsoft make things so complicated lol :p

Sorry I meant "GetSubMenu(0)"

I still haven't figured it out, maybe I'll just work around the problem and add a hotkey or something.

Interesting, why is that "GetSubItem" :confused: Thanks I'll look into it.

I added the below line in that systemtrayicon class, but it didnt make a difference.
::DrawMenuBar(AfxGetMainWnd()->m_hWnd);

By the way, when I call InsertMenuItem() in the main InitDialog...

The CMenu is declared as a member in the main MFC Dialog class.

The menu is activated when right-clicking the system tray icon.

I use the CSysTrayIcon Class made by Prateek Kaul, found here: ...

Its a standard CMenu.

CMenu SysTrayMenu;

VS2005 C++ MFC

When I try to add a new Menu Item to an existing Menu, the new item never shows up. All I see are the existing menu items from the Resource.

Got it working! :)

I installed the Open Watcom 32bit DOS Compiler and ported my code, it can directly access (read) BF7F:5000 via a simple pointer to 0xBF7F5000 without any fancy FAR pointers or...

The target platform is pure DOS (I boot of an MSDOS Disk), not from within XP.

I am using DJGPP 32bit DOS compiler (latest v4.22) to read the SMBIOS table (to get the BIOS version and serial number).

I use dosmemget() to copy chunks of memory to a malloc'd buffer.

No worries I think I figured it out. I changed GetSystemTime to GetLocalTime.

All these time functions are very confusing sometimes lol

[edit] surfdabbler thanks anyway

When I run the below function, the date gives me 1st DEC 2009 instead of 2nd DEC 2009

I am in Sydney (+10 GMT), its 10:50am here right now. If I change the Windows time to 2:50pm, the date is now...

I use WM_DEVICECHANGE to detect when a USB Key is inserted or removed.



BOOL PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)

Found a (free?) command line utility called CMDOW, looks like it'll do the trick

It can identify the Pid, caption, or hex handle :)
