I was trying to send mouse positions to my status bar in a larger program. I could not get them to write more than one position to the status bar, then it stops changing. To test why, I wrote a small window using one "Do Paint" function first. I still …

This is the hex output from a LARGE_INTEGER. "EA 00 0B 00 A1 00 00 00" On my machine a DWORD is read "00 0B 00 EA" How do you place the high 32 bits in the sequence? This leads me to the question of how to output this to …

I spent a lot of time trying to find out why "Message Box' made my program act like it crashed. Originally I had to bring up the Task Manager every time I allowed "Message Box' to run to shut down the program. After much experimentation I found that if I …

I have a simple program that I am having trouble debugging. It contains two different problems. 1. If I run a MessageBox in this program after the program is up and running, the program crashes. I have to call the Task Manager to shut down the program. 2. SetTimer will …

I program using Win32 API's. I compile with Borland or Microsoft "CL". I am on an XP machine. I use .cpp extensions to compile so C++ rules apply. I'm trying to get the bytes from my screen and send them to a disk file. I get a handle I call …

I am working with a MDI in my program. I use .cpp to compile although I program primarily with api's. I'm not sure whether that places me in C++ or Windows threads. Since using .cpp I have to obey C++ rules so I'll list my thread in the C++ area. …

Hi, I was wondering how to program a device driver for Windows XP in c++. For example, say I wanted to make a device driver for a mouse (I say mouse because that seems like one of the most simple everyday 'tools', and would seem as though it were the …

I'm running AMD Xp1 compiling with Borland bcc32 with cpp extensions. When I minimize and then bring my window back up to normal, the buttons in my toolbar disappear. I can bring them back up to the top by doing a resize (mouse on edge of window with a button …

I'm running AMD, XP Service Pack 1 Compiling with a .cpp extension using Borland Bcc32 I'm trying to teach myself how to use File Mapping. This is just the pertinent parts of my program. Any file can be used for lpstrFile. I'm presently using a .txt file for testing, but …

Running AMD XP SP1 - Bitmap can be any bitmap with a bitcount of 24. Compiling with Borland using .cpp extentions. I'm still having trouble getting CreateDIBitmap to work for me. The hex bits from my bitmap are saved in memory. I can see them. I've read that Windows just …

I recently sent a request for help because ReadFile kept crashing for me. The moderator sent me some code which cured my problem. My next step was to experiment to see what I had originally done wrong. (For further info see ReadFile crashes by toolmanx.) I started by replacing each …

I am having trouble getting ReadFile to work for me. I am runnng an AMD with XP SP1. I compile with a .cpp extention normally using Borland Bcc32 but I have also compiled using cl.exe. I declare LPVOID lpBuffer and have tried assigning memory using malloc. I also tried GlobalAlloc. …

Since I closed my thread, I will just open this new one for a comment. I told you I had discovered an item in WinHelp called: "Opening and displaying a bitmap file" If you want a laugh when you get bored, pull that up and look it over. I wonder …

I've tried to clean down this code so that it will demonstrate my problem but contains little else. Just enough to make a window. This code will compile on "BCC32" or "cl". I can't figure out why I get an "Invalid handle error" when trying to create a DIB. I'm …

I don't know if I am the only one having trouble with StretchBlt or if my symtom is a normal situation. StrechBlt works fine as I zoom the picture larger. I expect the pic to loose quality if I zoom out too far. My problem is: As I zoom smaller, …

I didn't want to fill up a thread with a bunch of code, but I couldn't find a way to attach a file to an e-mail using this site's "send a message" system. I would have inserted the .CPP file. This is a basic windows program to run tests on …

I have been using the Borland BCC32 compiler and love the CPP32 line numbering tool. Now I want to switch to the cl.exe compiler. Is there a tool like CPP32 in the Microsoft system?

Can anyone tell me what this type of command structure is and what type program uses it? It isn't ASM and it isn't C language as far as I can tell. Sorry guys, I'm still learning. T=10000: F=loader.exe: O=securomfix_cc.exe: P=5A12A6/75/CC: ; 0137:005A12A6 753B JNZ 005A12E3 $

My old thread was marked as complete so I am starting a new thread on this. Who knows a bit about Securom from Sony? I discovered my original disk is keyed with Securom. I have made a runnable copy using Alcohol 120% but I need an emulator running on my …

I'm not sure where to put this post so feel free to move it to the most appropriate spot. I am looking for a burner program that will do a bit to bit copy of my CD-ROM. One guy sent me a great step by step on how to run …
