Windows API

ok, will try.

I don't know Delphi, but I think your third parameter is incorrect, it should be the address of a pointer, and I think you have the address of a variable. In C/C++ it would be: IStillImageW* pStill_Image; hRes = StiCreateInstance(GetModuleHandle(NULL), STI_VERSION, &pStill_Image, NULL); which would be something like this in Delphi: pStill_Image: PIStillImageW; // no idea if this is correct syntax H_Res := StiCreateInstanceW(GetModuleHandle(nil), STI_VERSION, @pStill_Image, nil); NB there is also a Delphi forum just above this one; see the Treeview at left. Veni, vidi, abiit domum

Thanks for your favor, But I think you didn't get what I mean. I aim to change the Icon of an EXE as what is shown in windows explorer, Not the Icon of Window of the program. This Icon is one of program resources but when I work with UpdateResource function for changing it, the process fails. thanks.

If you close the application (the COM-server), then the client won't be able to use it. Send your mail without using a reference to Outlook; then you won't be dependent on having it running.

Actually you can use the Bitmap.Save() or Image.Save() method, there you can specify the format you want to use (e.g. png or jpeg). See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.bitmap.save.aspx[^] and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/System.Drawing.Image.Save.aspx[^],resp.

I too agree with Eddy Vlugen on not relying on deprecated functions from API although name value pairs are something that I too prefer over XML. For novice users, getting them to edit XML files is a challenge and for skilled one, I am more worried about how to prevent them from hacking my app. I have written a very simple text parser and use Dictionary with a Pre-defined Enum which effectively acts a parser. public void ParseStartupFile(String fileName) { String singleLine; _appStartupParameters.Clear(); using (StreamReader txtReader = new StreamReader(fileName)) { while (!txtReader.EndOfStream) { singleLine = txtReader.ReadLine(); String[] split = singleLine.Split(new Char[] { '\"', '=', ';' }); EnumOfAllAllowedKeywords keyword; if (split.Length >= 3) { // Convert string to enum'keyword.... // If keyword is not valid, it will throw exception keyword = GetEnumeratedValue (split[0]); for (int j = 1; j < split.Length; j++) if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(split\[j\])) break; //\_appStartupParameters is generic dictionary // Dictionary \_appStartupParameters.Add(keyword, split\[j\]); } } } }

You are right. Enabling IPC$ itself may be an admin thing. Why I want to use IPC$ enabling? For sharing named pipes across remote hosts and named pipe communication between two remote processes need IPC$ to be enabled. Thanks for your help again!

Does this have anything to do with the Windows API? You should read http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/1278601/How-to-get-an-answer-to-your-question.aspx[^] before posting questions. Use the best guess

SORRY! I just re-read the subject line... :doh: The only thing I can think of is that the security options you've OR'd together may need to be modified to include something else. I'd try the call to SetSecurityInfo with THREAD_ALL_ACCESS to see if that works first. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak

Some suggestions[^]. Use the best guess

Assuming that it is your dialog in case 2 then you should already know the dialog item id. Perhaps you could give some more detail on exactly what it is you are trying to do.

Ahhhh.. I see. Good point. That is quite unfortunate, and a failure IMO. Oh well. Guess the iPads will continue to dominate. :sigh: Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.
