Thank you very much for taking time read my question. Regards, Mahesh Mahesh

Hi I have wrote one dialog based MFC application which i run on Windows 2000 Professional. In this application i capture different windows messges. I want to do certaing things when the power cable is removed from laptop and it automatically switches to battery status. And again I want to get notification when power becomes available. For this I use WM_POWERBROADCAST message. I have written one function as LRESULT OnMessagePowerBroadcast(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam); Declared in my header file. And applied as LRESULT MyClass::OnMessagePowerBroadcast(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { MessageBox("WM_POWERBROADCAST"); return 0; } BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(MyClass, CDialog) ON_MESSAGE(WM_POWERBROADCAST, OnMessagePowerBroadcast) END_MESSAGE_MAP() Here I get notification whenever my laptop switches from power to battery. But the problem is : It shows me message box even when power get in. for this I use wParam and compare it with the given values, and I get PBT_APMPOWERSTATUSCHANGE all the time. How to distinguish that Power is in or power is out? Right now it gives me same message as ( "WM_POWERBROADCAST")even when power is in and when it's out. Any idea how to distinguish it? Regards, Mahesh

Hello friends I have developed a dialog based MFC application in which I did not show any dialog. My application show an icon in system tray only. Also my application runs on Windows 2000 Professional. But when I open Task Manager it shows my application in process list as "myapp.exe" I want to hide that from Task Manager. Also I don't want to use any extra DLL file to do it. How to do that? Thankx in advance Mahesh

Hi I have one Windows Service made in Visual C++, which runs on Windows 2000 Professional. My this service runs one more MFC exe when I start my service. My Dialogbased MFC application uses the Skype API and sends and receives the messages using give functions. It's working completely fine when I run my MFC application directly. But when I try to run my application using windows service that I have developed, it doesn't receive or send any message. Still my other functions (i.e functions other than Skype) works fine. So what seems to be the problem? Any idea how to overcome this? Thankx and regards in advance Mahesh

Hi I am using Visual Studio 2005. I have developed my project in VC++ which is a dialog based MFC application.

Showsing NULL value in hWnd... I don't know why this happens........any idea? The same code works fine in Visual Studio 6.0 My Code looks like this : ========================= void CPswdWnd::OnBnClickedButton1() { // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here char sCurPswd[512]=""; m_Pswd.GetWindowTextA(sCurPswd,strlen(sCurPswd)); //Here it give assertion } My Variables are declared by righ clicking the Editbox and then "Add Variables" and then i have made the variable as "Control".

Hello Friends I am back again with a question. I have a dialog based MFC application in which I want to know whether my network cable is connected to my network card or not? Which function is best for this and how to use it? Or any other idea to do this? Regards, Mahesh

Hi... I have tried that but it return's false value. Whats seems to be the reason? Mahesh

Hi Rage First of all my heart felt thankx that you give some time to look into my question. No CMyDlg is not my main dialog. It's another dialog whose any instance is yet not created. You can say it's another child dialog. Even if it's possible to show another instance of the same dialog in other desktop then also I will be little bit happy. Yes my all SomethingDesktop functions execute perfectly and give TRUE value. Anything else you want to know...I'll be glad to answer u'r questions... Hope to see some positive answers Mahesh

Hi Friends Yesterday also I have posted the same question but I didn't get any reply. :( I have my dialog based application which shows one form and it contains one button. When I press the button I create new desktop and then use switch to the new desktop. Now I want to show one more dialog form in this newly created desktop. But I am unable to do it. is there a way to do same? Or is there a way to give parent window or attaching it to other desktop? I am pating my little code here so that you can have exact idea what I am doing. //My CPP file HDESK hOriginalThread; HDESK hOriginalInput; HDESK hNewDesktop; // Save original ... hOriginalThread = GetThreadDesktop(GetCurrentThreadId()); hOriginalInput = OpenInputDesktop(0, FALSE, DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP); // Create a new Desktop and switch to it hNewDesktop = CreateDesktop("MYDesktop", NULL, NULL, 0, GENERIC_ALL, NULL); SetThreadDesktop(hNewDesktop); SwitchDesktop(hNewDesktop); // Here I want to show my new dialog form CMyDlg objDlg; objDlg.DoModal(); or objDlg.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); // Restore original ... SwitchDesktop(hOriginalInput); SetThreadDesktop(hOriginalThread); // Close the Desktop CloseDesktop(hNewDesktop); return 0; Any idea how to achieve... Regards Mahesh

Dear Friends I have created a dialog based MFC application. Here I have one form say "MyForm", showing on my current desktop when I run my application. I have two button on this form called "NewDesktop" and "OldDesktop". Now when I press "NewDesktop" I use CreateDesktop() functions and then SwitchDesktop() so It creates new desktop and shows the new desktop. But now it hides my previous application and my form. Now I want to show my form(MyForm) in this new desktop. I don't know how to do that? Any help please? With many many thankx and regards in advance Mahesh

Hello Friends In my dialoged based MFC programm I need to handle and set certain registry values before windows gets shut down and also immediately after Windows loggs in(i.e immediately after user presses Ctrl+Alt+Del and enterys passwords). I read that it sends some message WM_QUERYENDSESSION or something like that but don't know how to trap that message or how to achieve this? Any such example or any idea please. Thankx and regards in advance. Mahesh

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I do it the following way... CStdioFile fileToRead; char * StringBlock = new char[64000]; fileToRead.Open(sCurrPath, CFile::modeRead | CFile::typeBinary, &feError); nBytesRead = fileToRead.Read((unsigned short *)StringBlock, 60000); The value of nBytesRead = 60000 after the last statement executes, but the StringBlock contains only few junk characters only. May be it encounters NULL or something like that which truncates it to only few chars. According to this the function reads the file correctly but the problem is in storing the data. I want to read maximum data possible at one go for the sake of my app's speed . Please give appropriate solution. Best regards and Thanks, Mahesh
