Visual C++ :: Communication Between Two Programs Via Registry?
Jan 24, 2014
I'm trying to set up some basic communication between two programs via the registry.
For this I would like to use the functions
Code:
int value=10;
CString strSection="Data";
CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp();
pApp->WriteProfileInt(strSection,ValueName,value);
and
Code:
CString strSection="Data";
CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp();
int value=pApp->GetProfileInt(strSection,ValueName,0);
which read/write to the application's registry.
Is there some way of making two different programs use the same application registry?

In a typical MFC application I use SetRegistryKey(_T("My_Company")); to set the root registry entry for my application. The MFC application however creates an entry by the name of executable where it stores all the settings of that application. I don't want that because we often change the name of executable and I want it read registry from the same set location. As example if my application name is Calculator.exe and Calculator_debug.exe it creates two different registry settings.
My_CompanyCalculatorsettings
My_CompanyCalculator_debugsettings.
How can I stop that?

The project is about reading data from PIC and display the data on the dialogue created by the MFC GUI of Visual studio 2010. There are 4 data need to be displayed (2 weight and 2 angle). the data will be display on the edit control box on the dialogue.
I have try to solve the COMPort and Readdata issues many times, but I'm fail. I have read many sources and implement the source codes... They are never work....
The detail about the issues that I need to solve is clearly mentioned on the main dialogue.cpp. Take a look to an uploaded zip file that I have attached.

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 have used the following code to attempt to place a binary array into and then retrieve from the Registry. I am a member of the local Administrator group. I have verified that the Registry for the app has a binary array 32 bytes in length under the key "settings" / "keyb" ab 12 cd ...
Code:
// in header
unsigned char m_key[32];
int m_nKeySize;
// in implementation
// int ctor
AfxGetApp()->GetProfileBinary(_T("settings"), _T("keyb"), (LPBYTE*)&m_key, (UINT*)&m_nKeySize);
// in OnDestroy
AfxGetApp()->WriteProfileBinary(_T("settings"), _T("keyb"), (LPBYTE)&m_key, m_nKeySize );
Here is a copy of the binary array in the Registry:
7D DE 2B 30 E7 06 12 AC 99 60 8C 26 21 FC 8E 5B 66 DB 72 9E A2 00 BE 15 E1 8B 67 31 E5 EC 8B 15
Here is the binary key retrieved from the Registry using the code above:
D0 EB 26 00 CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC CC

I wrote a class pedal that allows to search for the serial port on which the pedal is connected. Therefore I send a request to the pedal and set up a timer event of 20 ms. If no reply, I search for the next serial port.
When found I send configuration to the pedal and set another timer event of 200 ms that requests for pedal state. It runs fine.
Now if the pedal is disconnected then connected again I would like it to run again.
Therefore I set another timer event every 2s that launches all what I described above.
The trouble comes because the 20 ms timer event doesn't run and I do not understand why.

my goal:
have 1 program handle the UI
have that program store variables to a DLL
have the 2nd program grab the stored variables to reform some number crunching, without interfering with the UI program, and once done, have it drop the answers back into that DLL, so that the UI can grab it when it's ready.
I have made the 2 programs, + dll
What I've Achieved:
the first program accesses the dll, and loads up a variable (and stays connected to the dll, so that the Dll instance doesn't reset)
I've gotten the DLL to output the variable to make sure it's received it, and stored it to it's own global variable.
the second program connects to the dll successfully, but when it tries to retrieve the data, it returns 0's (NULL's)
My research:from what I've read, so long the dll is connected to a program, all additional programs will attach to the same instance.
how do I make the global variable in the dll be accessible to both programs? (without resorting to saving it to the HDD Idealy)

I'm building a simple little program for minecraft to reduce the repetitiveness, I'm using getpixel, it's slow, but i only need to grab about 6-12 pixels.
but the problem is, I can get the pixel data if I capture from the entire desktop display, but as soon as I tell it to grab from the active window (wich goes MUCH faster) it doesn't return any colour value's.
I'd rather not have to use getDIBits or program in java or anything since I want to keep it fairly kiss, and if it can't be done, then.. ah well, I'll just grab from the entire desktop, speed isn't to much of an issue, but it'll be a pain to keep the window at the same place.
Code:
#include <Windows.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// vvv Ignore this, it's just used for retrieving the handle of a window without giving the full window name vvvv
struct results {

I want to send data from a laptop (windows 7, processor 2.60GHz) to a desktop (windows xp, processor 3.10GHz) using serial communication (using a USB to RS232 convertor). The WriteFile function is able to send the data from the laptop (NumberOfBytesWritten is correct). But on the desktop side, ClearCommError detects no data in the read buffer.
This is the relevant code in my desktop:
while(1) {
ClearCommError(hPort,&dwErrors,&commStatus);
if (commStatus.cbInQue != 0) ReadFile(hPort,&data,1,&dwBytesRead,NULL);
Sleep(10);
}
The if condition is never satisfied. The baudrate and other parameters in the DCB struct are the same on both sides.
The same code works when I write and read in the same system by shorting the RX and TX pins in the RS232 connector.

I have to communicate between two laptops using USB-to-Serial adapter. I have written 2 programs one for sending and another for receiving. Programs were written in both C and C# programming languages.
Using C language: I am able to successfully communicate using C-Programs mentioned below. But the problem is speed. It takes around 1 hour(60min) for just to pass 150MB. improving the performance of this programs...I also mention some comments along with programs for self understanding.Sender File on laptop with serial port :
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <bios.h>
#include <conio.h>
}
[code]....
The above 4 programs behaves as, sender send a character and receives an ack for every character. I have followed this approach, bcoz other approaches were not working fine (in the sense the complete data is not sent, the amount of data sent is not judgeable, bcoz it will different every tym). when i used this approach it worked fine.

I have a class as follows:
class testa {
public:
testa_b();
~testa_b();
testa_c();
}
Then I have defined some variables in testa_b:
testa::testa_b()
{
double aa = 1.0;
}
What is the easiest way to make testa_c() can use the aa defined in testa_b() (without declaring them in the class)?

I know how to add a new item to a folder right-click menu, using the registry, but it won't show up on file right-click menu. give me a link to how this is done? I want this new menu appear on every file R-C menu, file registered with the system or not. Is there a simple way to do this as adding a item to folder R-C menu, or will i have to iterate all the registered file types in registry to do it. I tried google with many search terms, but i can't find a source for this.

Am using the below code to INSERT values into MSI Database (Registry table)
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
String Name1 = lblDName.Name;
String Value1 = txtDName.Text;
String Name2 = lblUnisntall.Name
String Value2 = txtUninstall.Text;
[Code] ....
This code work properly, but after inserting values in MSI database.
The Value1 and value 2 are created as REG_SZ (String) but as per my requirement,
Value1, should be REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value 2, should be REG_DWORD
Need to convert them in my code and then to insert into the MSI database.

I need to implement a two-way asynchronous communication between two objects, not using any IPC.
What I have now is a producer-consumer model where producer sends a number "88" to consumer at random intervals. Now, I need consumer to send a number "99" back to producer at a random intervals, this probably should be done in a separate thread.
I am using GNU on Linux, here is the compile line.
Code:
g++ -g -std=c++11 main.cpp -o main
Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<chrono>
#include<thread>
class IObject {
public:
virtual void fromApp(int i) = 0;
virtual int toApp(int& i) = 0;// ???

I have two command line apps, one of them is multithreaded. I need to implement a bidirectional communication between them. Currently I can do
Code:
ProgramA 1> ProgramB
for the first programA to direct output into ProgramB, however I also need ProgramB to send messages to ProgramA.
how to implement it in a easiest way.
btw, I am on Ubuntu. I'd rather not to use third party libraries, Boost, etc.

The first time my application opens up, it should get the local date out of the System and store this in a registry key. But the second time it should get the date stored in that registryKey and compare it to the date right now.And there is where I am stuck, I just don't know how to get the date out of that key and compare it to the date right now.
This is my code:
RegistryKey key1;
private void btnTrial_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
DateTime current = DateTime.Now;
key1 = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("myKey");
if (key1 == null)
[code]....
at the last "if" statement it should compare the date stored in the key with the DateTime.Now.

My program allows a server and a client to chat over a socket. Currently I have to wait for one of them to type a message and press enter, before a message from the other person can be received.
Is there a simple way for messages to be received instantly - but not disturb any message that is being typed in?
