I am developing a program that needs auto start at windows startup. For that I need to add Registry entries. Also the program needs to read some registry keys. What are the functions i need to do these.. Simply I need to
check if the startup key already exists
add a new key if it doesn't exist
read a key values
Right now I am trying to make an alarm clock type program that will start on login and will go off when a certain time is reached. I also want to set a password that will prevent system use until the correct password is entered into the program's input. What functions will I need and how are they used?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to build a program which would start at the start of the computer, so for that when ever the user would run the program the program must get copied in the startup folder of the Windows I guess or anything else so that the program runs as soon as the computer is booted.
I this program would create a .vbs file n the startup, in that vbs file i would write the code for speech. so what the computer would greet you when you switch on the PC.
Here's what I tried:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
[Code]....
So my motive behind this code is that, this should create a .vbs file in the startup folder in that vbs file the above code would be written,
(Dim speaks,speech
speaks=Hello!
set speech=CreateObject(sapi.voice)
speech.Speak speaks) a
And then the vbs file would execute as soon as the computer starts, and then it would speak "Hello!".
But the problem is that i am not able to create a file in the folder when i run the program the file is not created, i do not get any error but nothing happens as well.
I want to start a time intensive function after showing a modal cdialog. How can I do this?

I have a 32-bit application that I've been maintaining for about 12 years and it runs on every Windows platform up to Windows 7. In all that time I've been using CWinApp::GetProfileXxxx() and CWinApp::WriteProfileXxxx() calls to read and write my program settings (about 70 settings) in the Registry. The settings are read from the Registry at start-up and written to the Registry when the program closes. There is also a method for the user to read and write the program settings to an INI file using the same code as the Registry access.
On my Windows 7 system the Registry read/write works just like it always has on all previous Windows versions. However, on some customer's Windows 7 machines there appears to be a problem with the Registry access. The program settings are either not being read from the Registry or are not being written to the Registry. I think the settings are not being written - but I don't know that. When the user uses the INI file the settings appear to be read and written.
The customer has complained a bit (I'd complain too) but doesn't have the time or doesn't want to take the time to run some simple tests for me to find out what's going on with his Windows 7 system.
So here is my question: Are there any user account settings or permissions that can block the program's access to the Registry? He claims he is an Administrator but I can't even get him to verify that.
When I write to the Windows 7 Registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, I get a return code of 5 which is the "access denied" message when I execute RegCreateKeyEx.
This happens even if the User has administrator rights.
How can I tell Windows 7 to allow the program to write to the registry?
The application is a 32-bit application and it should be allowed to run in either a Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit machine.
I noticed that when I run certain popular programs, a User Account Control dialog box comes asking:
"Do if you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer".
Should my application call User Account Control and if so, how do I do it in C++ Visual Studio 2008?
I also found out that 64-bit Windows machines have two registry hives. Is there a different code to handle the same task?
I'm trying figure out how Windows Firewall functions by experimenting with Bittorrent's add exception to windows firewall option, I deleted the entry from the Firewall options and also located that the regkeys are in HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/SharedAccess/Parameters/FirewwallPolicy but I can't figure out what registries are made when an application is added as an exception in the Windows Registry.

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
This code is for (hospital management system).
This code allow you to add patients.
There are two types of patients. which is:
1. Normal patient.
2. Critically ill patient.
once you added any patient. You will be able to show all patient using "ShowAllPatient;" method. -> i want the Auto-increment ID Number to appear for each patient has been added.
And you will be able to call a patient to provide a hospital services for him/her using "GetNextPatient;" method.
I need to generate an Auto-increment Number for each (patient) has been added. (Auto-increment Number) but it just should be different for each patient. For example the first patient will have 1, The second patient will have 2. etc. The Auto-increment number should appear for each patient.
I am writing a program that deals with 2d arrays. The program inputs the number of rows and columns and asks for the entries. When the program run and compiles it works perfectly until it outputs then it gives me a warning.
Here is my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int row1=0,col1=0,i,j;
//int a[row1][col1];
int** a= new int*[row1];
[Code]...
I am learning how to do this before I can move on so it can read a text file of numbers.
Also I am having problems with ////delete [] a[];///// I took it out because it made my code compile and run but when I add it in, it gives me an error:
matrixtesting.cpp|56|error: expected primary-expression before ']' token|
I know this expression is suppose to deallocate the array.
I created two split views like this:
BOOL CMainFrame::OnCreateClient( LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs, CCreateContext* pContext ) {
CFrameWnd::OnCreateClient(lpcs, pContext);
if (!m_wndSplitter.CreateStatic (this, 2, 1) ||
[Code]....
When I step into CMainFrame::OnAlohaHowAreYou(), I found m_pDoc is NULL. If I remove the split views and make CMainFrame::OnCreateClient() like below, then there is no problem.
BOOL CMainFrame::OnCreateClient( LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs, CCreateContext* pContext ) {
CFrameWnd::OnCreateClient(lpcs, pContext);
return TRUE;
}

I am writing a program to auto login in a web site. Before making next attempt I have to wait for some time like some 10 seconds(it is configurable). But during waiting UI should not freeze. I wrote code something like this. Here event m_hEvent[1]) will be set by another thread after 10 seconds.The problem is UI still freezes some times!
while(1)
{
//m_hEvent[1] will be set by another thread after 10 seconds
dwRet = MsgWaitForMultipleObjects(1, &m_hEvent[1], FALSE, dwMilliseconds, QS_ALLINPUT);
ResetEvent(m_hEvent[1]);
[Code] ....
I want to know if there is a function or library that starts counting time when the program starts. Because I'm making a program that is dependent on time.
Pseudo code
time starts
if ( seconds % 2 == 0 ) {
counter++;
}
Why do i get this error?

I have to do a program that checks the startup type of several winservices, but i cant seem to find an answer (that works).
I have tried using ServiceController, but it doesnt contain that info. I have tried using ServiceHelper but i cant find the package that contains it, i tried invoking some dlls but that didnt worked either, and some more that i didnt even understood..
Is it possible to edit the message map at startup instead of just having it set at compile time?
I'm reading some values from an XML file at startup. The menu options will be determined from what I find in there. But I need to assign those menu options to the message map.
I have written ( using VS2008 c++ ) a windows service which sends information about PC usage to a central database, as part of a PC availability setup. I have been asked to add the following functionality to it:
1) What applications are most used, when and how long for, and
2) What web sites are being accessed, again to find the most popular etc.
My main question is, what functionality is there to trap application start / close events from within my service ( just need the application name ), and secondly I am already using sockets to send information to a PHP script on a server, the best way to see what web pages are being accessed is to build in a packet sniffer, and extract the information from that.
I have some requirement regarding implementing a C program .exe to implement on Domain computers as a Startup/Logon script. I created a C program which is meant to be run on domain PCs when they start/Login. This .exe program runs some DOS commands using system function, then writing output to few files. I then pick up required information from files & prints it on to a console screen. While creating this program using C compiler, it gathers all the info & prints to screen properly. It uses following commands in program:
Code:
reg export "...." "c:windowswebwallpaper
eg_xport.txt" Here "..." means some registry path e.g. HKLM... etc.
Code:
systeminfo > "c:windowswebwallpapersys_info.txt" wmic qfe get installedon > "
c:windowswebwallpaperpatches_date.txt"
Two issues over here are that 'reg export' to a file and 'wmic' require admin privileges on domain PC & thus the program should carry admin rights while executing. I got this solved by putting this program to run as startup script. The program runs, creates files and removes them also(as a part of program), but shows no output on screen (from screen I mean console screen). I then created a plain "Hello" program and implemented it on few domain PCs, I guess script got executed but nothing came up on the screen.
I am not sure what is happening at backend. Whether the program is able to execute only DOS commands & skip all other IF/ELSE/WHILE conditional loops. Or these are executing but PRINTF is not able to launch a console screen. Printing output to screen is must in order to pass message to users using PCs.
I need to get the Win OS Session name to a string in C. How can I get to that?
