Strange - I never had problems with built in Intellisense - but I didn't use it very much either.... You may want to give the free trial of VisualAssist[^] a shot. The worst thing that can be said about it: it is not free, and you are likely to become dependent on it :D Especially if you are working on VC6 it does make a big difference.

Thanks David, I actually put a post there about 45 minutes ago :) Robert

Thanks David, My big "whoops" was that I was searching for \nul rather than *.* or some exact filename. the \nul is an old DOS technique to search for the nul file in a directory, which means you are just looking for the existance of the directory itself. Again thanks, it all works now :-) Yup, mnay years programming in DOS .... will be 59 next month. You have posted relies to my questions in the past. I hope all is very well with you :-) All the best, Robert

Haha, cool, good to hear. I'll try to explain how I think it works. Actually your recv() function returns when it has read what you wanted (like 4096 or 8192 bytes etc.), or if the connection closes. But, if there's not enough data left to fill the buffer (eof), recv() keeps waiting, and the connection remains opened so that more data can be sent and added to the buffer later. By default on HTTP/1.0 the connection is closed, but with HTTP/1.1 it remains opened unless "Connection: close" was sent along with the headers. Therefor, recv() returns only when the server closes the connection because of a timeout. That might take minutes, and your code inded appears to hang :( I meant I have no c/c++ experience, only a bit of the HTTP protocol which I learned fom mIRC scripting. I was actually looking at the boards for tutorials :). Anyway, have fun.

Thanks! Got it working. Robert :)

Thank-you. I got it working! :-)

Hi Kiran, Thank-you for input. I made the change but still get the same result. Hmmm .... Any other thoughts? Many thanks, Robert:)

Thanks Dave. I won't bang my head any more. Robert :-)

Sleep relinquishes the processor from the current thread for at least the time you give it. It does NOT mean that it will regain CPU time in 1 ms if you call Sleep(1); it does mean that you will not regain CPU time in less than 1 ms. You are basically telling the OS that you don't need to work for at least a certain amount of time so it can let someone else work. Windows does have a high resolution timer, but it has been a while since I even bothered with it. Check out this book. If you decide to become a software engineer, you are signing up to have a 1/2" piece of silicon tell you exactly how stupid you really are for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week Zac

Thanks Rich :)

Thank-you Anil :)

Many thanks Neelesh :-)

I am not sure about your statement. If you have the module handle (an image in memory), I think you can load the version resource from that as well, meaning you CAN get the version information from an image in memory. I have not done this before, but this is what I would try to do: For an image in memory, you can try FindResource -> LoadResource -> LockResource -> Use pointer in call to VerQueryValue -> FreeResource. I think you can use SizeofResource if you need total size of resource information (in lieu of GetFileVersionInfoSize). You are using FindResource, LoadResource, and LockResource instead of GetFileVersionInfo. FreeResource is called when you are done so that the memory is freed.

Gentlemen, Thank-you for your assistance. Have it working now. :) All the best, Robert

Thanks James. I'm slugging through MSDN - one of my least favorite ways of finding info :-(

Thanks Matt! Robert :)

Thanks TomKat!:)
