Visual C++ :: Running GUI Program In Background?

Apr 22, 2013

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);

[code]....

i tested this code with notepad and it runs notepad in the background without displaying the window but when i try run my program it doesn't work. i don't know why its works for one program and not the other..

Visual C++ :: How To Change Background Color Of Messagebox

Jan 5, 2015

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?

Visual C++ :: Running / Debugging Console App That Needs Admin Privileges

Nov 4, 2012

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)?

C++ :: Dynamically Resizing Array While Program Is Running?

Feb 4, 2015

I'm working the 4th problem in chapter 14 of the Jumping into C++ book. In the book, he gives an example program for dynamically resizing an array while the program is running. It works fine for integer types but i need to do the same with a string type array. Right now my program is crashing because the string array is not resizing itself. Here's the part of the code im trying to figure out. The part for the int array has been ignored using // since it works fine and I'm trying to figure out whats wrong with the string array.

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
//Write a program that lets users keep track of the last time they talked to each of their friends.
//Users should be able to add new friends (as many as they want!) and store the number of days ago

C :: Simple File And String Program Not Running

Mar 6, 2015

The assignment is to write a program that statistically computes similarity of C syntax with another program; a same and a different. The one used here is in C language, it's called Battleship.cpp. The program must open a file and read line by line for keywords and then produce statistics. The reason my code is not running is the fopen function is failing and it goes to return -1. I am using MS Visual Studio 2013 and there are no compiler errors after turning off deprecation. I do see, however, this error UMEngx86.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file. The file being opened is in my source folder.

Visual C++ :: How To Retrieve Window Proc In Process Running In Other User

Apr 25, 2014

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?

C++ :: Destructor And Inheritance Causing Program To Crash After Running?

Dec 13, 2013

I have a class which dynamically allocates memory for three data arrays, and as such in the destructor I told it to delete those data arrays.

However, when I've created a new class, and inherited the previous class - it will always crash AFTER running the program, unless I don't have the previous destructor present.

Visual C++ :: CStatic Control Flicker Only When Running With Windows Classic Theme

Nov 15, 2013

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.

I'm attaching the C++/MFC source code for my test project .....
