I haven't read every reply (don;t have the time as there are way too many) but if the price will work for you then you might check out Microsoft's own DPM product. We've been using in house for over a year and it grabs everything from SQL Server DB's to Exchange to regular File Shares. It even properly handles SharePoint Fram backups and those can be a big PAIN. In fact I often get suprised repsonses form user forums where I mention our SQL DB backups and how we do them with DPM. It does not have a lot of flexability as some products (i.e. when you setup a SQL DB Backup you can specify in what incrmenets it should do log backups but you can't schedule them as far as when they start but you can scheduled the Express or full backups.

Embedded XP is basically XP that you've tailored as you want it by choosing which OS components you want in your build. You can download the evaluation edition from Embedded XP SP2[^]. The "120 days from installation" refers to the XPe images you create, not the tool itself. Basically, it creates a set of files that reflect the component choices you have made and those files are placed on your target system and then "installed" to create your OS on the target. The included documentation is pretty good, as MS docs go. Judy

Morning Johannes, maybe the error occurs earlier in your source code, check function return codes. Johpoke wrote: How would I convert the code i linked to above into a open connection type?

u don't understand the problem:(

Ive looked at UpdateDialogControls() and it seems to be connected with UPDATE_COMMAND_UI. Ive searched around alot, on iGoogle, MSDN and codeproject yet not found something simple and working.. Another thing i dont understand is that UPDATE_COMMAND_UI seems to be executed when the menu item is clicked? but it cant really be clicked if it is disabled... Why cant it be as easy as to enable/disable the other dialog controls.... Thanks for the help :) //Johannes

LOL...

Thanks Hans and Paresh, i belive this has solved my problem (not sure yet, my program is kinda complicated :D ) Thanks! //Johannes

I glad your problem solved.:-D WhiteSky

Thanks Zainu! That works perfectly! //Johannes

Thanks for the help :D So im looking at the SendMessage, FindWindow and FindWindowEx, but im having trouble connecting them all, I declare a HWND to "hold the window". FindWindow("Control", 0); //Makes it so my program has control to the window called "Control" ? Then i have to use FindWindowEx to set which dialog radio buttons /checkboxes should be set and to what then SendMessage() to set it? Might you know how i would connect these? Or is the some nice tutorial somewhere :/ thanks :) //Johannes

The German tool seems nice, but im looking more for bad sector detection, and i have some hard drives which im extremly sure are bad, but so far all programs that just read havent detected any faults. The hard drive tool from UBCD is good too, but it only scanned. I wonder if there are any ones that really read, write, compare and stuff.. //Johannes

Thanks! Works perfectly now :D //Johannes

Johpoke wrote: i can do int data = 0xF; but how do i do the same thing with binary? In short: you can't. You may write integer values in your source code using decimal, octal or hexadecimal notation. For decimal notation you have no prefix and use digits from 0 to 9, e.g. 255. For octal notation you prefix the number with '0' and use digits from 0 to 7, e.g. 0377. For hexadecimal notation you prefix the number with '0x' and use digits from 0 to F, e.g. 0xFF. Each example represents the same value but with different notations. Regarding how to read and interpret the hexadecimal notation... Each digit represents four bits, a nibble, which can hold values between 0 and 15. You simply have to get it into your spinal cord how to represent a nibble using the different notations, e.g. that 1100 in binary equals 0xC in hex which equals 12 in decimal.

Well, that's not very "generic" (what happens when you need to round at a higher precision?). double Rounder(double fVal, int nPrecision) { nPrecision = __max(__min(16, nPrecision), 1); double fEpsilon = pow(10, nPrecision); double fResult = ( floor(fVal * fEpsilon + 0.5) / fEpsilon); } "Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997 ----- "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

Ah yes of course thank you all! /Johannes

yep feeding it into int, or doing int(GetR... works great thanks for the help! /Johannes
