i created a windows service that will run another program. but the program i want to run has a gui and i don't want the gui to be visible, i just want the program to run in the background.
But i have to do it without editing the gui program
here's my code:
Code:
TCHAR* path = L"C:Myfile est.exe";
STARTUPINFO info = {0};
PROCESS_INFORMATION processInfo;
ZeroMemory( &info, sizeof(info) );
info.cb = sizeof(info);

I have created a MFC dialog based application. Now I want to implement such a functionailty that I will be closing my application through command prompt. And while closing of my application the ExitInstance() method of my application should get called. What is the command which I should put in the command prompt to close my application in such a way.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am looking to make a program for C++ that has a GUI other than command prompt. The program I am trying to create will ask certain questions and display the results at the end after all questions are asked and have 2 copies of the results one over the other that can be printed as a receipt. Basically I am wondering can I do this using C++. Also I want another GUI other than command prompt as well. Something close to what windows uses if possible.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am making an application that processes multiple files (typically > 500) through a command prompt call. The way I start the command prompt app is by looping using a call to CreateProcess for each file that is to be processed. It works fine, except that I somehow loose 'connection' to my app so that
1: Windows says that the app. is 'Not Responding'
2: The Cprogress bar in my app is not updated before all files have been processed, even though there is a CreateProcess call and a Cprogress.StepIt() from the app for each file that needs processing.
I somehow suspect that the CPU gets swamped... I do not want that Windows starts to say that my app is 'not responding' and I want my Cprogress dialog bar to update according to the number of files that are progressed through.
I wonder if multithreading is the OK way to go instead of just kicking of series of CreateProcess calls? Maybe my CreateProcess is not ending correctly? It seems as if my app is 'not regaining control' before very late. The app never crashes though.
My CreateProcess code is listed below, maybe there can be a problem with it, or maybe I should do things in a different way? My app basicaly works as it never crashes, but with above mentioned problems it is NOT a pro solution...
void CMultiFilerDlg::ProcessFile(CString pdfFile) {
int i=0;
DWORD ProcID;
// Open file in text mode:
STARTUPINFO si;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
char cmdArgs[2052];

Any good websites that covers my questions,
I am studying C How to Program book and want to run GuessNumber Game.
My system command prompt gives C:UsersAcer>_. And GuessNumber path is C:UsersAcercode_examplesGuessNumberWindows.

my C++ console application should be like a command prompt. There are "command lines" to execute in the command prompt.Here are my main prompts for spotlight:
Encode - New data entry
View - Read data from text file
Search - Find record from text file
Update - Save changes per text line from the existing text file
Delete - Delete lines from the text file
Now, I manage to do the tasks for Encode, View, and Search..But unfortunately, not in Update..I've been working this for a week already..

Im writing program for a rail fence cipher that should run from the command prompt and take in two .txt files, one containing the key for how many rails there should be (between 1 and 25) and the other containing the message to be encrypted. Both of those txt files should be entered from the command prompt, taken in with the program's arguments, not asking the user for input I think I have the logistics of how to get the program to encrypt it worked out, but every time I try to run the program it keeps on crashing.
The program should run when I enter this:./railcipher samplekey.txt samplemessage.txt
I'm pretty sure my issue lies within my first few lines of code, with the main(), or with the FILE*, but I dont know what I would need to change it to for it to work properly.
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv[])

If I compile code which uses cin using the command prompt, then run the compiled program a new window opens when it reaches the cin line of code, for the input. If there is no cin used then all printing happens in the original window. Is there a way to stop this behavior of the opening of a new window?

I am having a problem with my c++ code. I am attempting to clear the text off of the command prompt screen in a text based game program. I put a restart option using a goto in my program. How would I be able to clear all previously displayed text.

Here is a code snippet which is a bit annoying.
Code:
cout << "Put in the names of people, press q to exit" << '
';
while((cin >> people_inp) && (people_inp != "q")){
Person *p = newPerson(people_inp);

The problem of this code is when you put in the names(via cin) and press enter command prompt will disappear. What should I do so that Command prompt will not disappear after I input some names? I mean it disappears without you pressing a key.
I have created an scientific calculator application and I have a VBS script that runs some of the files. I want to create a C program that runs that VBS script. however, a command window flashes before the application opens. So basically I need a short C (or C++) program that runs a VBS script without a command window popping up. I am on Windows 8 and my compiler is GCC/G++ under cygwin. Here is what I have now that DOES NOT work.
Code:
#include <windows.h>
int main()
{
ShellExecute( NULL, NULL, "StartUp.vbs", NULL, NULL, SW_HIDE);
return 0;
}
Here is what I did,
Code:
oldHook = ::SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CALLWNDPROCRET, CallWndRetProc, NULL, ::GetCurrentThreadId());
MessageBox(...);
UnhookWindowsHookEx(oldHook);
Then within the callback function CallWndRetProc, I tried to change the background color of the dialog,
Code:
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC hdc = BeginPaint(msg->hwnd, &ps);
::SetBkColor(hdc, RGB(255, 0, 0));
EndPaint(msg->hwnd, &ps);
But it doesn't change the background color of the dialog. I wonder what is the right way to do that?
ON_WM_CTLCOLOR(...) works for all the other controls but not the tab control.
Code:
void CEasyWebStoreUploaderDlg::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
CDialogEx::DoDataExchange(pDX);
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_TAB_CTRL, m_tabCtrl);
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_EDIT_STATUS, m_strServerStatus);
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_EDIT_UPLOAD_RESULTS, m_strUploadResults);
}

I have a derived CComboBox class, where I tried to change text and background of edit from CComboBox, just like this:
Code:
HBRUSH CMyComboBox::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor) {
HBRUSH hbr = CComboBox::OnCtlColor(pDC, pWnd, nCtlColor);
// TODO: Change any attributes of the DC here
//if(CTLCOLOR_EDIT == nCtlColor || CTLCOLOR_MSGBOX == nCtlColor) {
[Code] ......
but is not working if CComboBox has CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style ... is working only for CBS_DROPDOWN style ... why ?
I used onctlcolor() method to set the background color for the controls & Dialog. I run my application, working good but after 15 mins the below error occured,

I currently have a program where, by either pressing Ctrl+N or by going to "File->New" in the menu a new file is prompted.
However, there are cases in my program where I would also like the "new file" protocol to be called when a user presses a button.
Is there some way of accomplishing this, or can the "new file" protocol only be called by the standard Ctrl+N or "File->New" calls?
