Get status of a printer and print job - Application Developer | Microsoft Docs[^]

Have a look at the [ShellExecuteA function (shellapi.h) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shellapi/nf-shellapi-shellexecutea) : its fourth parameter (LPCSTR lpParameters) is what you are looking for.

Subject to the limitation you mentioned, that would work, too. Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. -- 6079 Smith W.

Then you need to move it to a location that is not protected. Neither Program Files nor Program Files (x86) should be used for files that may need updating at run time.

Hi, 0xfeeefeee is a magic number[^] used by the debug heap for marking memory that's been freed. So it looks like the data at pData->pData[nSlot]; has already been freed by the time you try to read it. This probably means that the bug also exists in your 'Retail build'. A retail build with a normal heap may happily read garbage data and keep on going. You can probably debug this by setting up a memory watch[^] for &pData->pData[nSlot]; Best Wishes, -David Delaune

It would help if you gave us the details of the error you're getting. There's no way we can guess. Also, what line of code does it occur on? You have LeaveCriticalSection in three different lines. The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I think you might need to tell the devMode which fields are being initialized by setting the dmFields member example of setting landscape orientation: devMode->dmOrientation = DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE; devMode->dmFields |= DM_ORIENTATION;

You might try showing us how you are doing your calculations with some code. Showing us only the line withou cout doesn't help us figure out how you calculations can be mysteriously "wrong". Try to isolate it to as small of a section of code as you possibly can.

Customize ghostscript, which claims to be able to handle .pdf files. 2) Hook into GDI, before each EndPage call, add some TextOut calls.

You may retrieve the current dir, or better the executable path, and then append the name of the file. If you want only the current drive GetCurrentDirectory() is right, just take the first char. If you want the current executable path, use GetModuleFileName(NULL,...) and cut off the text after the last backslash. Then you may append your file's relative path. Paolo.

Hi simply use DrawText or ExTextOut of the CDC class. Kurt

Hello, James. I already noticed this with Mr. Hamishi post. But, simply just change CEditString string -> CEditString* string ,and '.' -> '->'. I think that this is more normal in C++ coding. Regards. -Masaaki Onishi-

You should use the Rich Edit Control instead of the regular Edit control.

As you say, "there's nothing stopping someone really determined...." I experimented with a similar method a while ago. I generated a GUID and stored the install date in a binary form under the GUID in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (where I thought it would be inconspicuous). It all worked well until I ran a registry cleaning program which spotted the entry as "orphaned" and offered to remove it. The moral being of course, try to crack it when you've written it, and if your succeed, try something else. Even better, try a combination of approaches - writing an encrypted file to Windows\System32 may be a good idea as well.

If you don't mind the zzz and yyy naming for the variables I think this link is what you are looking for http://users.neca.com/vmis/addget.htm ================== The original message was: I am looking for code which promotes a web site to search engines or which determines the position of a web site in a search engine. I would love to see and study some example code, so that in time, I could figure out how to actually promote a web site. Please, any response any one can give me will be greatly appreciated.
