On Windows, you don't need sockets; just use COM (10 lines of code)

???
system() has nothing to do there (it's even prohibited under Windows...)
Just use the scheduler

This "code" has no sense at all (case, case, case... horrible !!!!)
It's done in 1 line of code with Win32 api (VK)

And what's the problem with that ?!
It's by far the best compiler/debugger on the market.
All Big Companies have VS 2008 Enterprise licences and nothing else. It's just unbeatable nowadays..

You're a complete noob. (Probably very , very young.. )
Newsgroups (Usenet) is by far the best place on the Web, for more than 20 years !
There are the greatest Win32 gurus, MS consultants, some of...

On Windows, system() is prohibited by MS.
It's dirty, it creates another useless PAS, etc...

No, you don't need to retrieve the text !
It's a very old Win16-Win32 FAQ, see (Win32 grp (http://tinyurl.com/yjy3ajr)) with EM

Wrong method.
Official method is with COM

No, you must use the GUI subsystem.

It won't fork for od listbox
.................................

This has nothing to do with C++...
If on windows, to get current URL, use Win32 api (Shell and others)

Use Petzold code instead, 10 x better.

> google dint help

???
It's a win32 FAQ for about 15 years (!)
See on Win32 grp (ttp://tinyurl.com/cmhb5g) for classic code
to scan very quickly pixels with GDI or GDI+

It's easy to modify it with C and win32 api
ACDSee does that...

The Petzold is, by far, the best book and the C code is of course compatible with XP and Vista !
And for Advanced win32, see old Win32 group http://tinyurl.com/cmhb5g
(with Windows source code...)...

Never use system() on Windows.
Use Shell or Kernel apis.

????????
This "article" is a complete newbie and wrong code (!)
To get the pid, see the official sample in C in MSDN, with Win32 THelp

This code is wrong.
Initializing is missing and then it won't work on some OS SP...

Stop this spamming with fake question/answer and complete noob and wrong code (original code from MSDN has been posted 15 years ago !)
Read the Petzold to learn Windows programming.

Why don't you look at MSDN samples ?!
(plenty of samples in C,C++ for each api...)

Don't copy MSDN doc.
And it's not the right method (events)

Are you aware that the complete code for this is in MSDN... for more than 15 years ?!

(more than 25 samples in C and C++ !)

No, Qt is useless on Windows (and too slow..)
Just use standard Win32 api.

Don't use OpenGL
All best actual games use DirectX (FarCry, etc..)
Download DirectX SDK and see the tons of samples inside

You can write it easily in C and Win32 apis (MM)

Obsolete (~10 years old)
Use #import instead

Is it a joke ?
It's a copy of one of the MSDN KB samples !!!

Never use system()
Just use kernel or user apis.

You should read Microsoft SDK samples, where the Wallpaper changer exists for more than 15 years...

You don"t need anything for a so simple task ! (never use external libraries on Windows, as everything is included )
Just use basic Win32 api (GDI)
It's done in a few minutes...

No.
Tutorial are not professional at all (by kids...)
Read Network Programming books (easy to find in ebook format)

On Windows, simply use the Chart control.

You don't need any code. (nearly..)
Conversion is native in Win32 (Shell or GDI apis)

This code is not sufficient and won't work on some Windows SPx.....

Useless.
Simply use Win32 api (1 line of code with SH or 5 with COM)

It's not a "method"...

See MSDN and Intel codes samples for RDTSC instead.
More than 10 years old...

It has no sense at all to disable UNICODE !!
It's the standard !
Windows itself is UNICODE (see Kernel or User source code..)

No sense.
GIF is binary.

You don't need anything. Just use Win32 OLE apis
