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 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 have written a program which uses a pid to check if the process is currently running and return a value based on the system call result.But the program core dumps
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h
int main( argc, argv )
int argc;
char * argv[];
{
int p_pid = 99;
char buff[1000];
}
[code]....
What is the mistake in this code and is it portable in both unix/linux , is the method secure (grepping for program name )?
I'm fairly new to PowerShell and I'm trying to run this command from my application to return the 25 newest entries in the application event log and save them to a file on my desktop. Here's the code. I get an Common Language Runtime error with no real information.

ps.AddCommand("Get-EventLog");
ps.AddArgument("application");
ps.AddParameter("Newest", 25);
ps.AddScript("Format-List > ~\Desktop\samplelog.txt");

For my project I need to check whether my application instance is already running or not. I got the following code from Net ..
Code :
HANDLE mutex;
mutex = CreateMutex( NULL, TRUE, _T("MYAPPNAME"));
if ( GetLastError() == ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS ) {
// There's another instance running. What do you do?
AfxMessageBox(_T("Application Already Exists"));
PostQuitMessage(0);
ExitThread(0);
return;
}
The code works fine .. but the code even works fine , even if I pass any string as a parameter to CreateMutex. E.g.
mutex = CreateMutex( NULL, TRUE, _T("QQQQ"));
How it is working fine ?
actually it is the windows application .When i'm running my program it is not allowing me to enter the data into textboxes means the cursor is not appearing
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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'm building a simple system management console application. I've abstracted the console "Menu" and derived from it a "WelcomeMenu" class with public inheritance.
The problem is that when instantiating a Menu* object and assigning it a new WelcomeMenu...I'm still not able to use WelcomeMenu's "ShowWelcomeMessage() with the Menu* object. Instead, I get "error: Class 'Menu' has no member function call 'ShowWelcomeMessage().' Which is true, but I thought a pointer-to-Menu object should be able to use the public methods of derived classes without casting in this case. Code follows.
// Menu and WelcomeMenu Classes
#ifndef MENU_H
#define MENU_H
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

I'm trying to get around the concept of cooperative multitasking system and exactly how it works in a single threaded application.
My understanding is that this is a "form of multitasking in which multiple tasks execute by voluntarily ceding control to other tasks at programmer-defined points within each task."
So if you have a list of tasks and one task is executing, how do you determine to pass execution to another task? And when you give execution back to a previous task, how do resume from where you were previously?
I find this a bit confusing because I don't understand how this can be achieve without a multithreaded application.
I am trying to get my keyboard input into a function, so that I can call a function like updatebuttons() and set global variables to 0 if the button is not down at the moment and 1 if it is. It seems simple, but I can't seem to get it to work right; I am not use to working outside of windows, so I am still a beginner with SDL.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some experience in C# and choose the project of a "rapidfire script". It is a program, which shoot rapidly in a FPS by sending a "left-mouse-button-click" over and over again while the "real" left mouse-button is down.
Now, I tried multiple ways of sending the left mouse button but none of them worked the way I wanted them to. I tried SendMessage, PostMessage and mouse_event. One of them made the window unresponsive, another only pressed the mouse button while I was still moving the mouse and another didn't work at all.
I know a script which does exactly that and is coded in AutoHotKey. AHK is open-source but since I am not familiar with C++, it is very hard for me to understand what exactly is going on here:
AutoHotKey: keyboard_mouse.cpp
And here is the AutoHotkey-Script: AutoHotKey - pastebin.com
And my current code. The input delay is very irregular and strange. Sometimes the real "right mouse button click" gets ignored and I don't know why.
if (State == RapidfireState.ACTIVE) {
// Check if the left mouse button is down. If it is, send fire commands to the game
if (MouseDown()) {

I'm not finished with this code, but I am stuck on this one glitch. This is what I have so far, and it's not working.
Code:
int main() {
/*Please input an n value greater than zero. Otherwise, exit the program by entering a carriage return*/
printf("Please input an n value greater than zero. Otherwise, exit the program by entering a carriage return
");
int summation = 0, x, y;
scanf("%d", y);
for (y == x; summation <= M_E && x <= 34; x++)
[Code] ....
Intead of using scanf("%d",&a) to take a input from the user,how to take a input using fgets(buffer, BUFFERSIZE , stdin) and atoi?
View 1 Replies View Relatedat the moment my program is extracting keyboard data through accessing the virtual key states. However, it is not performing as I intended because the data I receive from the console does not concur with the actions the user performed.
E.G. When I type, it comes out like this.
what I get with my program: WWhhhheeen III typeeee, iiit ccoommes oout lllikkke thhhhiiis
TLDR: so basically Id like to know how other programs know how to interpret keyboard input, so that when I type I dont get multiple inputs of the same key press
I am writing an software that should be able to detect all keyboard inputs by the user. i.e., both hardware and software/on-screen keyboard.
This software is going to be written in a platform independent way and supposed to run on Windows, Linux, Android & iOS.
The idea is to capture the keyboard inputs from a low level, there by making sure that it doesn't miss any inputs even if it's a on-screen keyboard like in a mobile device.
I am looking at possible open source libraries that can be used.
I am trying to Write a program that inputs three integers from the keyboard and prints the sum, average, product, smallest and largest of these numbers. How do i go about it. What i dont know is how to come up with smallest and largest number .
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a C++ program that will allow a user to input a number from the keyboard. Then using a loop, that will perform 10 times, multiply the entered number by the loop counter. Print out the loop counter, the entered number and the product of the loop counter and the entered number. A one-time heading should be displayed before information is printed.
This kinda of what I have so far:
#include <iosteam>
using namespace std;
int main () {
Start
Declare: numScores, sum, score, avg, SENTINEL = 200
numScores = 0

I'm still a beginner at C++ programming, I have tried to implement some optimization algorithms (related to database) in C++, I cannot say it is going as far as I thought it will be, some errors does not even make sense, I will cut to the chase, I need to implement SA (Simulated Annealing) in C++, SA, which is an example of the Randomized Algorithms, functions on the concept of randomness and probability. In addition, I searched the internet with no (let say "accurate") code that might give me insight on how to begin, I only found one code for SA that I could understand, and edited it (which will be shown below), still looking to enhance and correct it more.
The code for SA is as follows:
Code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <cmath>
[Code] .....
If the concept of Simulated Annealing is not clear, you may refer to the following papers which can be found in a simple Google search: Simulated Annealing Algorithms: an overview.An Introduction to Interacting Simulated Annealing. Query Optimization (there is a sub-section for Simulated Annealing in this paper that explains SA briefly) ....
i developed the code below to improve the solutions of a vehicle routing problem with a variable negborhood search. in this case one element is exchanged, i case no better solution is found two elements are exchanged and in case no better solution is found tree elements are exchanged with the funktions one exchange two exchange and tree exchange. as acceptance criteria the new solution is accepted if new solution <oldsolution or the criteria e^(newsolution-oldsolution)<u where u is a random number between 0 and 1. the code below is running but the solutions do not change at all from the solution bevore the change algorithnmus. to be more clear i have to say that first a starting solution is constructed and the solution after the exchange algorithm shouls be better thahn the start solution but although all loops are executed the solution stays the same.
how to imporve the exchange functions one exchange two exchange tree exchange so that a better solution in found.in the attachment you find a txt file from which the data is read in.

I have an assignment to write the code for a simulated radio station holding a contest. The contest is for a "caller" (user input obviously) to guess a number from 1 to 500. The "randomly generated" numbers are already chosen and are being stored in a .txt file. The code is to search for number guessed by the caller and if they are wrong, next caller until a caller is correct. The end result is to display the winning number, the indexed location the number was found, and how many callers guessed. This is what I have...
Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
using namespace std;
int sequenSrch(const int prizeArray[], int arrayLength, int searchedItem);
int guess();
[Code] ....
I'm not sure if I am even on the right track... when I pass something into the sequenSrh(); the code compiles, asks for the number to be guessed and ends.
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.
