The given link is about "Digital Code Signing" and i need to retrive information programmatically from digital signature embedded in an executable such as signer name and counter signer name.

How to programmatically extract or get the signer name and counter-signer name from an exectuable file if it is digitally signed. Is there any API or any raw method.

New Symbian executable uses Deflate algoritm for compression. Where can i get help/algo/source related to this algorithm? Thanks in advance.

Symbian has released new executable (E32Image) file format for Symbian OS v9.x. This format is a bit different from the previous one. How can we different the executable whether it is of new format or old format (programatically)? Thanks in advance.

I have three users viz. User1 User2 User3 User2 has mapped network drive. Now when i enumerate drives using GetLogicalDrieStrings in User1, i only get drives of User1. What i want is to enumerate all the drives including mapped drive in User2 in any user context. How can i acheive this??? Thanks in advance. Regards, K. Sushilkumar.

Hi All, How can i enumerate installed hooks? Thanks & Regards, K. Sushilkumar.

You can find out what DLL's are implicitly linked to the DLL or EXE by reading the PE import table. Thanks & Regards, K. Sushilkumar.

Hi All, I am trying to open a web page using the following code.

ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd, _T("open"), _T("www.xyz.com"), NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

It works well. Consider, Default browser is Mozilla Firefox. An instance of the Mozilla Firefox is running with some tabs open in it. The above code will open a new tab (www.xyz.com) in the existing instance. Now what i want is to open my web page with new instance. Thanks & Regards, K. Sushilkumar.

I am not sure but you can have a try, You need to SetWindowPos for all the controls that intersect with your listbox. The call should be in the same order you would like to. Ex. SetWindowPos(EDIT_1) SetWindowPos(EDIT_2) SetWindowPos(LISTBOX) //Top-most.

How do we programmatically come to know whether an executable is digitally signed or not? Is the signature in the form of section or a structure? If it is like a structure then is there any document structure for it. Does the size of the signature stored stored anywhere? I am having two samples of same dll viz. signed and unsigned. I find the difference in windiff only at the end of the files. Thanks & Regards, K. Sushilkumar.

Thank you. It is a good solution. Yes it could help me to some extent in my code. Because the dialogs are already being implemented. And i cannot change them from my side. I can only create the dialogs. As i discussed in earlier post that i was searching for some different technique instead of using if-else/switch for new operator. But as part of education/knowledge the technique used is mind blowing. Thanks & Regards, K. Sushilkumar.

If you are using MFC then try,

BeginWaitCursor();
...
EndWaitCursor();

or

CCmdTarget::BeginWaitCursor();
...
CCmdTarget::EndWaitCursor();

Thanks.

Yes you are right. To do that task now i am sequentially writing those many statements for each dialogs. I thought this task as challenging. I continued with some research and tryouts. You have suggested about templates, can you please help me out with a piece of code. This is just educational. I haven't stuck for this but I am trying to complete the task in any ways. Though it is silly problem I have spend enough time for it. I hope you understood the problem. Thanks & Regards, K. Sushilkumar.

Yes that is confusing but it is usable. I'll give you the scenario, I need to write options/settings module for a product. The product is dialog based. Now the options will be in a tree control on the left side. When user clicks a particular option i need to display appropriate dialog. There a 20 such options. To hide or show the respective dialog first they need to be created. The question i posted doesn't relate to number of dialogs to be created. Instead, in a loop how can we provide the typename for new operator. Just refer the root post. Thanks.

Your solution was actually very good and convincing. But i was trying the same without using switch/if-else or any user defined function. I feel that there may be any other means to achieve the problem. If it is not feasible then i am really sorry for the question i posted. Thanks.

Your solution is good. But i had given a sample of code. What actually i want to do is to create around 20 dialogs of different types. The resource i can have for this is the array of DLG_INFO. For acheiving this we can extend or add more members to DLG_INFO. Thanks.

I am sorry that u didn't get the question. what i want to do is similar to the following, float *pf; float *pf = new float; (This is the normal case where float is the typename passed to new operator). (Now consider our problem) int *pi; char *pc; If i have such many different types of pointers. And i want to create memory to that respective pointer with it's respective type in loop. So how am i able to provide typename to the new operator generically in a loop.

Hi everybody, I am trying to create dialogs in a loop. I am having pointer to each dialog and resource id. Problem is while creating an object of that dialog using new operator. As new requires the typename which i am unable to provide in a loop. Please refer the code below. DlgA *pDlgA; DlgB *pDlgB; typedef struct tagDLG_INFO { CDialog *pDlg; DWORD dwDlgID; } DLG_INFO, *P_DLG_INFO; DLG_INFO arrDlgInfo[2] = { {pDlgA, IDD_A}, {pDlgB, IDD_B} }; for (DWORD dwLoopCount = 0; dwLoopCount < 2; ++dwLoopCount) { arrDlgInfo[dwLoopCount].pDlg = new XXX; //(How to provide typename in a loop). arrDlgInfo[dwLoopCount].pDlg->Create(arrDlgInfo[dwLoopCount].dwDlgID, this); } I tried using macros, templates, RTTI, typeinfo, but i did'nt find any proper solution. Thanks in advance.
