Below is the code to return the parent id of a process, given a process id. This can be helpful in circumstances when we have to scan all the running processes to find out the spawned processes from another process. [code language=”cpp”] // change this method signature according to your requirements BOOL GetParentPID( DWORD dwParentId,
Sometimes data is also stored as message instead of resources. the easiest way to read this is as below: ofstream myfile; myfile.open (“example.txt”); HMODULE handle = LoadLibrary(“AgentRes.dll”); // dll for reading the file DWORD err=::GetLastError(); for(int i=0;i<10000;i++) { LPTSTR lpMsgBuffer=NULL; DWORD dwRet=FormatMessage( FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER | FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_HMODULE, handle, i, // number of the corresponding message // you
Sometimes or most times when you get a crash dump from your customer, its always good to know how to reproduce the crash and point out where the actual crash happens. Today I was debugging some bug with my lead, I found this very useful: Here are the steps: First of all open the windows
If you have a situation as above or in clear words If an application has a string localized to multiple languages and mapped to the same ID in each language, the correct version of the string might not be loaded on Windows 95 or Windows 98 using the Win32 function ::LoadString. To load the correct
I had an opportunity to use CListbox. The scenario was that I had to pre populate the list box and display it in a pop up window. Its very to use listbox when using it in a parent window but when you want to display it in a standalone pop up window, you would get
You would be getting this error if you tried to use CArray in VC 6. You would need to use some other way to get the values selected in listbox. In my next post I would be showing how to use two different ways to access a CListBox.
One of the simplest ways to detect a leak in your code would be to use debugCRT. Simple usage: a. Create you project in visual studio b. run the project in debug mode, then only you will find the memory leak dumps int main() { _CrtSetDbgFlag(_CRTDBG_CHECK_ALWAYS_DF | _CRTDBG_ALLOC_MEM_DF); //below call will break where the leak
lets take a look at how to compare two systemtime variables but using Filetime to do so. We make use of the utility method CompareFiletime to do this. 1) store the systemtime in a variable 2) convert it into filetime. Use this method SystemTimeToFileTime(&systemtime1, &filetime1) SystemTimeToFileTime(&systemtime2, &filetime2) 3) Compare the filetimes using the method CompareFileTime(&filetime1,
