C# :: How To Start Application And Automatically Pass Input To That Application
May 9, 2012
I want to create an application that starts an application and passes input to that application. I know how to start a process using the classes in System.Diagnostics, but I don't know how to pass data to the process.
For example, and this is just an example, I would like to be able to automatically start an application that requires a username and password and automatically enter the username and password. Of course, that might open the door to security vulnerabilities, but that's not the point of the exercise.
How to implement the functionality I described? Is there a general way to go about doing this or does it depend entirely on the idiosyncrasies of the application in question?
I would need to know how to make the c++ builder application to be started with administrator rights (it's common behaviour for installers - when it is started, it asks for administrator rights).
I use standard libraries and INNO Setup, wich is a free setup file creator.
I succeeded in adding NetFrameWork 4.5 installer into the setup (it runs it after installation, and before running my software (named GOFINDER).
Now, i remember that this happened to me, but after three months of programming, mine used to start and still does. But I know it sometimes doesn't start, and I don't know why exactly.
I checked to make sure that I needed only FrameWork 4.5.
But maybe it is because of Visual C++ Runtime wich is not added upon setup.
I will try to check this after posting cause this has just popped up in my mind.
I'm asking you how can I Make sure, that distributing my software won't do that anymore.
Is it because my application file is not set on Run as Administrator?
Cause normally, it opens without this necesity, except as a Shell (well I have to check back but I think it does if I check on the run as administrator checkbox.
The problem is not really with InnoSetup, but I also would like to know how I can check that box automatically upon setup.
they say they have a documentation but I don't find it on my computer.
And... why would it start on my computer, and not on my beta-testers's one?
I'm working on a cross-platform threading project, the aim is to start 1 worker-thread that has a queue of worker-items which are serviced by the thread.
The threading framework works fine, both under Windows and LINUX, albeit as designed under Windows, and in a modified form under LINUX.
I have this CSnmpTrapd class which is designed as a worker-item for the worker-thread, it listens for incoming SNMP traps and decodes the packets, this is implemented in csnmptrapd.cpp and csnmptrapd.hpp.
1) When I add this piece of code to my makefile and re-compile the app successful... the app will start (or not?) but generates no console or file logging as is expected, it will not even show printf() output which was added as first statement in main(). My app handles CTRL-C to terminate and this works !?!? But I'm actually not sure my app works at that point.
2) When I compile the app without csnmptrapd.cpp and start it, it will generate console and logging output and behave as expected.
3) When I add the CSnmpTrapd class implementation to an existing cpp file in the project, it will compile and run as expected... the worker-thread handles the CSnmpTrapd worker-item as it should, incoming SNMP traps are captured and decoded, logging generated
I passed the CStringArray to dll & wrote the String in a file.
The error File: array_s.cpp, Line No: 420 was occured when i close the .exe file.
For your reference:
Code: Function Declaration in DLL : DECLDIR void SetParName(CStringArray& ParName); Function Definition in DLL : DECLDIR void SetParName(CStringArray& ParName){
ParName.Add("X1"); ParName.Add("X2");
[Vode] .....
My doubt is, CStringArray items are allocated in the DLL. So, when i release the CStringArray object in the application. Is it can release memory that are allocated in the DLL ?
What happens if I make a server application using tcp protocol and then establish connection with a client application but the server crash and then the client send data. Will the data be lost or the system will continue trying to send it?
I'm creating simple console application using Code::Blocks to allow me to pass parameters from other application to replace string within text/registry file before execute the registry merge. Passing parameters to console already success. Now I only have problem with reading file. Example of first line in the registry file is as below.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
However when read into string and output to console using 'cout', it will be show as below with spaces in between.

Is there any way to input a picture into an application? I want to make the console of my C++ program display an image across it for a short while. The picture in mind is a gif. If there is no way to make it display in the console, is there a way to make only the image and not the webpage pop up on the screen?
I am trying to replicate the Skyfall "M gets hacked" scene. But this would be useful for other purposes as well.
I am not familiar with using header files or any other files other than the .cpp file and I only use one .cpp file for all my programs.
Currently I'm working on a application which reads the input from the server and write to a file. Message stored in server : idle_message="维杰PC时钟" key_prompt="在按键"
Server will send a xml reply with encode type as "UTF-8". In my code I'm store in a char array. [ char * ch = "idle_message="缁存澃PC鏃堕挓" key_prompt="鍦ㄦ寜閿" msg came from server and copied from vs2005 watch point] After this I'm writing the same to a file in my desk using the API WriteFile. When i open the file in Editplus below is the content.
idle_message="维杰PC时钟" key_prompt="在按键" Again I'm trying to read the file and storing into the char array. Below is the content viewed by the watchpoint in VS2005.
idle_message="缁存澃PC鏃堕挓" key_prompt="鍦ㄦ寜閿? I'm trying to find the starting and ending chinese char and I'm converting that char to wchar_t using the API mcstowcs() for display, its coming as completely junk chars.
I can able to every place the chinese char are different. how to overcome this problem.
I'm trying to simulate a ctrl+ keypress into a running application.
Code: #include <stdio.h> int main (void) { system("/usr/local/bin/rundb"); }
My problem is that the rundb program needs the user to type ctrl-b then s to actually start executing. What is the best way to handle this automatically? Some sort of fork/pipe?
I am using an increasing number of applications which can be serviced from a web page. These apps do not need tomcat, apache or IIS to be installed but they are able to serve out web pages on demand.
Question is how is this done? Is it just a thead polling a port, waiting for a mime message and then chucking out the content or is it something more complex than that?
i developed 2programm that the first one is in C and the second one is in c#.and now i have to send some string text from c to c#.how can i do that in c ?
I am looking at a same application in c that uses two different timing techniques. One involves the nanosleep() function which suspends thread for given nanoseconds. The other one uses a combination of gettimeofday() which returns number of microseconds since epoch as a start value. Then it uses var counter of for loop as max value. And it uses ellapsed time for each call of gettimeofday in microseconds in a do while loop to increment diff, until diff is not less than var. Why would someone choose to use this timing techinque be used instead of nanosleep?
I was wondering if there was a possible way to change my c program into an application so that i can send the application to another person and not let the other person have access to my codings?
My reasons for asking this question: For the application i want to send there are secrets that are meant to be unraveled by gameplay but i dont want people to look at the codes and know everything.
I'd like to make a logger for my GUI application. I currently use std::cout and std::cerr, but I'd like to replace these with an arbitrary buffer which isn't connected to stdout or stderr. My requirements are:
1. On the user-side, the usage should be identical to any ostream object (including support for std::endl).
2. When std::flush is received, it "signals" my logger so I can run this line of code: LogWindow->setText( mybuf.str() )
I think I need to extend a std::basic_stringbuf<char>, but which virtual method do I need to implement in order to print to my custom window?
My first attempt is this. I'm testing with std::cout, but the output is empty and running in the debugger doesn't trigger a breakpoint in my sync() method.
#include <ostream> #include <iostream> class MyBuffer : public std::streambuf
Is it possible to develop any application without exceptions? I don't want to try and catch exceptions and remove it.but I want to write codes which should never create exceptions is it possible?
I have developed an application in C++ that creates some text files in a directory chosen by the user.
How can I ask the user set a Default Directory Path (and some other default parameters) so that she doesn't have to enter the same data in the GUI everytime the application is run.
The application has been developed using Qt Creator.
I have a service A, and an application B. Service A needs to launch application B only if it's not running currently. This can be easily done in Windows by calling GetExitCodeProcess function. I cannot find an equivalent method for doing so in Linux/Mac.
So my current code says:
system("open /Users/adsmaster/client/client &"); // to launch the application from the service in a new shell
I read that on a Linux-line machine you can use $ cal to get the exit value of the recently run process but I am not sure how can get the exit value of a particular process?
I want to open an application A from another application B. By opening it, I don't want to open it within B. I found many ways to call an application from within another. However, what I want to do is open the other one(A) simultaneously. How can I achieve this? fork() and exec() seem to open A within B. I am developing a code for Linux and Mac.
Actually i am using one timer, in that timer i am trying to displaying one dialog box nane as ABC, for if condition is success, there in the same condition i need to put one more query like for the perticular application is active then only display this dialog box ABC, i need which API is using for getting active application in c++.
I have a question about to run an MFC dialog based C++ application from console: if I run my application from console, I see the application start and the console immediately back to prompt. I need that console wait the application exit before show me the prompt again. I tried on Visual Studio 6, 2005 and 2010 but the behavior is the same.
