Is reading an Inf file same as raeding a normal text file? If no , then what all has to be done to read an inf file?

hr = -2147216619 This is the value it gives while saving thru IPersistFile->Save

This is the flow : hr = pITask->SetApplicationName(pwszApplicationName); TCHAR pszName[500] = "User"; TCHAR pszPwd[500] = "Password"; hr = pITask->SetAccountInformation((LPCWSTR)pszName, (LPCWSTR)pszPwd); hr = pITask->CreateTrigger(&piNewTrigger,&pITaskTrigger); hr = pITaskTrigger->SetTrigger (&pTrigger); hr = pIPersistFile->Save(NULL,TRUE); // Here Error is getting Logged in SchedLgU

Yes, if i go to that job and specify the password in the properties, the job runs fine , its just that through setAccountInformation I am not able to run that job? It is picking my default Windows login and not the userID I specify in setAccountInformation. What could be the reason?

Yes , i pass both the parameters username and password but the still same error exists. I went through the microsoft site , it seems this was a bug in earlier XP versions but that fix was made. I am using XP version 2002 service pack 2, is this the version in which fix is made or not? Thanx for reply!!

I am trying to create a scheduler using ITaskScheduler but I am struck up while running the job. I am able to create the job but it is throwing an error while saving the job at hr = pIPersistFile->Save(NULL,TRUE); The Error that is getting logged is The attempt to retrieve account information for the specified task failed; therefore, the task did not run. Either an error occurred, or no account information existed for the task. The specific error is: 0x8004130f: No account information could be found in the Task Scheduler security database for the task indicated. I am using XP , do anyone has any idea why it is failing while saving?

You should mark your ActiveX component as safe for initialisation and scripting. Since ActiveX can do anything thus , microsoft has made it necessary the safe initialisation of ocx controls. So, make some code level changes in update Registry to doo this.

can anyone tell how to do job scheduling in vc++

Convert your char* to wchar* using MultiByteToWideChar and then use wcscmp to compare these two strings...

typecast it to const unsigned short* ..... FillSafeArray((const unsigned short*).....

You can use MultiByteToWideChar may be somethng like this CString str; wchar_t* wch MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP,0,str,strlen(str),wch,strlen(str),NULL,NULL) Don't forget to allocate memory to this wchar variable then typecast this wchar to unsigned short* FillSafeArray((unsigned short*)wch ,....) I think this will help u out !!!

I have sumthng like this VARIANT getData() { unsigned char* puc_Data = " SOME TEXT "; // I am converting the above unsigned char to whar_t* using MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8,..,puc_Data,len,wchar_t*,len); // I want to take this wchar string and convert it to VARIANT // Doing it thru COleVariant ColeVariant var(wchar string ); // Data is getting lost sumwhere here ... return var; Can anyone suggest wat i m doing wrong??

Can anyone tell how to convert a widechar string to VARIANT I have an unsigned char* string , I am converting it to widechar using MultiByteToWideChar. How to convert it to VARIANT ? The data is getting lost if i use ColeVariant.

If I compile the code as a UNICODE built , which compilation would it be UTF-8 , UTF-16 or some other . I mean to say what support it would be UTF-8 or UTF-16. and If nothing what can be done to make it utf-8 if I am using wcstombs ,_wcslen functions ? Using MultiByteToWideChar is the solution ?

I am using _UNICODE as a directive but want my code to compile without errors without _UNICODE. Can anyone tell me is there any way to switch between functions same way i do for strings #ifdef _UNICODE typedef wchar_t TCHAR; #define __T(x) L ## x #else typedef char TCHAR; #define __T(x) x #endif can i do something same for wcscpy and _tcslen functions. I am using wcscpy in wchar and strcpy for const char*

How can I Input different language text from a Dialog based application. Showing "?????" as input characters. Do building it with UNICODE prepproessor solve this problem? Also, getting weird characters if I am reading from a file. Using _wfopen which is the function to open a unicode file and reading the contents using fread function. The file has some other language characters.

After making the changes still , getting the weird characters while reading from file ( file has hindi characters) Can anyone tell how can i read a Text file having hindi charcters. Do I need to set some Font in my VC++ program so that i can display this Hindi Text on to the dialog. Confused !!!!!!!

Thanx for such quick replies. If that is the case then I fear , I have 2 make lot of changes.. sine I have used _MBCS during compilation and using strcpy and strlen everywhere.... Can you tell me instead of strcpy what function can i use.. same way as strlen is for _tcslen

yaa, I am using US/English Windows with Input language set to Hindi How can I make my program to use the Hindi Code page. and I am struck at reading them from file, why is it showing those characters

I have Hindi Text and want to display it on a Dialog Box, but the problem comes when i m reading it from a file. It shows weird characters like "ऊ भ भ भ 分有点晕，" I am using fread function to read these Hindi Text. and converting it to wide characters using mbstowcs(buf0,str0,l_Len0+1); SetDlgItemTextW(m_hWnd,IDC_MY_TEXT,buf0); where buf0 is wchar_t and str0 is the above weird characters. Can anyone tell where I am going wrong ???
