I would like to programmatically monitor a directory for new files, and if the file happens to be an executable, I want to prevent it from running. Something like a AV program.
However, I don't know where to start. Simple is best.
i am writing a function that takes a delimited string and splits the strings into it's respective words according to the delimeter.
1) iterate through string and store delimeter position in vector array.
2) iterate through again and use substr to split into words and store again in a vector.
I then have a dictionary file, and am comapring each values in the string with each in the dictionary, problem is that it overruns the loop and obviously gives a subscript out of range error.
Code:
#include <iostream>#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
//Start with string inputString
//Find delimeters ::pos as ints and stores positions in vector <int> array
//Run though string using 'find' and seperate string by positions of char32s
//Build vector<string> array of individual words in string
//Open dictionary file and loop though testing each words in vector string array against each word in dictionary

If you're writing a .dll you can prevent that dll from getting loaded into some processes by returning false from the dllmain.
I'm looking for a way to do it the other ay around. I have an exe, and I want to prevent a certain hook dll from getting loaded/injected into my exe.
A customer is running some software which loads a hook dll into our exe, and this is subsequently preventing our application from running as intended. Both our software as well as the third party app is required, and there is no way to get the third party dll changed. (no longer supported).
I know I can set the window properties on creation, but I'm trying to figure out how to prevent a window from being able to be moved or resized. I've been looking online and it looks like it involves overriding the WM_SIZE, WM_SIZING, or perhaps the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED message handlers. I want to be able to have a menu option that "locks" the window position, and of course allows normal window behavior when the option isn't checked.

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 ?

I see there's something called a manifest file but VS C++ EXPRESS seems different than non-express. The solutions I've seen show applets/tabs that I don't have in Express.
In one of my physical DEBUG folders are some .manifest. files and some a .res and .rc file.
I know you need to edit the XML and change asInvoker to requiredAdministrator (or something like that).
The confusing part is if I go into Project Properties, MANIFEST TOOL caret/tree, under INPUT AND OUTPUT, it shows this .manifest file is OUTPUT. It's as if it rewrites it every time with some defaults? I have edited it, but I see it's back to asInvoker. There is a spot to put in a ADDITIONAL manifest file (or .res file).
Does a manifest somehow affect the physical .exe file (something is imbedded in it??)?
How do I change my project to make sure that the .exe always runs as Admin? Will doing this ALSO allow me to DEBUG it in VS C++ EXPRESS without having to do anything different (play with manifest or run VS outright with Admin level)?

I am encountering a problem on retrieving the Window Proc of a window that running in a process with another user.
For example, I have logon windows with domainuser1, and run the following command as:
runas /profile /env /user:domainuser2 C:WindowsSystem32calc.exe
And then the Calculator is shown in domainuser1 desktop, but the process is running in domainuser2 account.
When running Spy++ (either wither domainuser1 or domainuser2) to view the calculator window, the Windoe Proc field is shown 'Unavailable' I also try to call GetWindowLong against this window, it will always returns NULL.
I am just wondering if it is possible to retrieve the Window Proc of the window running in a process of another account, is is possible?
I have a C++/MFC application that displays a count in a window:
The count (text) is displayed via a `CStatic` control. The mechanism is very simple. I call it every 1000 ms and update the text as such:
Code:
void CTestCountdownFlickerDlg::RedrawCounter(LPCTSTR pText)
{
CStatic* pTxtBox = (CStatic*)this->GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_COUNTER);
ASSERT(pTxtBox);
[Code]....
What happens is that the `CStatic` control updates without any issues on the OS with visual themes enabled, but if I run it on the OS with the Windows Classic theme (for instance, the screenshot above is from Windows 7) the `CStatic` control produces a visible flicker every time it updates the text.
Well, I understand that I'm nitpicking here, still I would really like to get rid of this flicker.
Here's what I tried:
1. In my actual project I tried subclassing the `CStatic` control and removed the processing of `WM_ERASEBACKGROUND` by simply returning 1. That didn't work.
2. In the same subclass for `CStatic` control I tried to override `WM_PAINT`, but that didn't work at all. So I'm not sure if I'm going too far with it at this point.

How can I check if window media player is running in full screen mode & topmost in c++ MFC?
What I used is this logic:
I compared media player full screen coordinates to that of monitor coordinates.If they are same implies media player is in fullscreen.But it has one flaw.Whenever there are control(for play,pause) displayed in full screen in media player, coordinates are not coming same as that of monitor.
i have seen a lot of programs that have images inside their exe, dont use external ones. I tried to add image in my codeblocks project, but trying to use it failed. It seems that to use a resource i have to add some kind of header file, but how to do this???
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have started to move over to using Unicode, wide character null-terminated strings in my Windows programmes. Accordingly I set the Use Unicode Character Set Visual C++ compiler option. It is my understanding that once you do that the many macros which determine whether you transparently call ...A() or ...W() API functions automatically shift over to calling the wide character variants. As this is a compiler directive, all the choices are made and hardcoded in to the resultant executable at compile/link-time BEFORE it is ever run. Therefore using for example the macro OpenFileName() in the source code instead of specifically calling OpenFileNameW() has no impact on run-time performance.
The next logical step, instead of explicitly using wchar_t is to declare null-terminated string character arrays as TCHAR*. Then, so long as I also employ the tcn... variants of CRT string functions and call TEXT() or _T() macros to create string literals the preprocessor will chose, again transparently whether to create an executable using standard multibyte or unicode wide characters - and their associated functions - all determined by the Use Unicode Character Set switch. That way I can cover both eventualities with the same source code.
So, with all that - I THINK!!! - properly under by belt, I am fairly sure that using TCHAR and its friends will not effect run-time performance at all. However, in his otherwise excellent article the author makes it sound as if using Unicode EXPLICITLY through wchar_t, ...W() API functions and tcn... CRT calls is faster than the TCHAR alternative.
At the end of the day my question is - have I got the right end of the stick; TCHAR makes no difference to executable performance?
I'm trying to step through the machine instructions of a c program. This program needs to be run with a -t flag.

I use g++ compiler and need some tips on how to get started with making a c++ GUI. The project I have will need a gui that will allow the user to conveniently invoke executable (the command-line args they take are long and inconvenient to enter manually) and basically print their output streams into a control (e.g. read only textbox). There will be a few graphics involved too (the input for those graphics will be from a file), so I'll need a library that will allow drawLine methods (nothing too fancy, I don't need a gaming library).
Making a GUI in c++. In Java the ability to make a GUI is a part of the native library, so the c++ way seems foreign to me.
I am just wondering if it is possible to send a project to someone via email - In a simple way, almost like you would install software from the internet, maybe a setup file, or something. The compiler I use "Dev C++" creates a .cpp file and an executable. Unfortunately, I cannot send that .exe file. How would you recommend sharing a program?

When I run it in Eclipse, it does not open an SDL window, and simply says <Terminated> Test.exe [C/C++ Application]. I can build the project successfully, but it simply won't run. There are no errors displayed.
HOWEVER, if I replace the above code with the code below, it runs fine, and creates an SDL window.

On an unrelated note, what does " Can't find a source file at "e:pgiawsrcpkgmingwrt-4.0.3-1-mingw32-srcld/../mingwrt-4.0.3-1-mingw32-src/src/libcrt/crt/main.c"

I develop a software using QT 5 open source IDE. Now my question is two-fold:
1. How can I create the final executable file that I can upload for my users? I understand that runtime DLLs shall be required and I have tried Enigma Virtual Box software for bundling runtime files. It does create the file that I can execute from any folder in my PC. However, surprisingly when I transfer that "boxed" file to another PC, it does not run. Both the PCs have Windows 7 installed on them.
2. Secondly, I see possible future issues with Antivirus Softwares. Apparently when I try to run the boxed exe file, it gets rejected by the Antivirus Software on my PC. Is there a way in which I can get my exe file verified/checked/registered by the Antivirus Softwares so that my users don't face any problems in executing the program.
I cannot afford the QT commercial licence, but I am prepared to buy any economical "setup file generating" software (if it exists).
I'm writing a program that needs to parse executable files. I've got an "executable" base-class, and currently an "elf" class which inherits from it for parsing ELF files, and I will add more parsers (COM, MZ, PE, a.out, MACH-O, whatever) later on.
I want the program to automatically detect which kind of executable it's loading at runtime. It should be easy because every executable format I'm aware of/plan to support starts with a magic number. But because I can't have the parsers not check the file type (what if I re-use the code?), and I don't want to check each file twice (not just for performance, but also because only the ELF parser should know that ELF files start with "x7fELF", etc.) so I've come up with a pretty lazy solution: just try to parse the file with each known parser and have them throw an exception ("exe_type_error") if they can't parse it. If that exception gets thrown, try the next parser; if not, stop.
The remaining problem is how, at runtime, my program will know what parsers are available. I don't want to hard-code it in the main function; instead, I'd like the parsers to "register" themselves as available. That way, if I decide to go down the route of adding new parsers via dynamic linking, I will only have to add an API for dynamic libraries to register their parser, without recompiling any of the main program's code. I also want to do the same thing for another key part of the program (it's a static executable optimizer; it will run a series of "tests" (e.g. "is xor eax, eax faster than mov eax, 0 on this machine?") and optimizations ("if yes, change all mov eax, 0 to xor eax, eax") and I want to load those at runtime too).
I am writing a program which compresses files into .zip files.
Here's my problem: Whenever I want to compress an executable file, my readFile function does not read the entire file. When I extract the .exe I get a very tiny and incomplete file.
Here's the function I use to read files:
std::string miniz_wrapper::readFile(FILE* f, int MAX_FILEBUFFER)
//MAX_FILEBUFFER has a default value of 65536 {
char* tmp;
std::string tmp_s;
int count = 0;

Prior to reading, every file is opened using fopen with the mode "rb".
I am looking at reducing the size of a compiled executable for easier distribution.
What factors affect the size of an output executable?
Would literally having defined and implemented less functions, would make the exec. smaller? Meaning that instead of have a DLL ( yes im on windows ), I would download the source code of a library and comment out the functions ( and code ) that I am not using -- Would this process decrease the size of my exec.?
Im writing a scientific software where I like to sent a 2D array (5x4) over a named pipe from a server to a client. When im sending a static array (i.e., double res[5][4];), all goes fine and it works perfect, but when I allocate a dynamic array, it provides some nonsense numbers at the client side. I feel it might be caused because I point to a memory that cannot be shared through a pipe. Am I right and how can I pass the dynamic allocated array itself over the pipe.
//Server program
// Create a pipe to send/receive data
HANDLE pipe = CreateNamedPipe(
"\.pipemy_pipe", // name of the pipe
PIPE_ACCESS_DUPLEX, // 2-way pipe -- send and read
PIPE_TYPE_BYTE, // send data as a byte stream
1, // only allow 1 instance of this pipe
0, // no outbound buffer

I have encounter some code that implements delay
asm volatile ("nop");
From what I understand it is assembler code that creates delay - one processor clock long.
For C/C++ language it should be like ; or {} = null statement.
Now my question is how to implement this C/C++ code and prevent my compiler (WinAVR: AVR-GCC) to delete this command during optimization (-Os or -O2). Or is it simply better to use the assembler function.
I know I can use for-loop
volatile uint8_t foo
for(foo=0; foo<2; ++foo){}
but for that I have to create a variable = wasting 1 byte of RAM; correct?
