In Win 9x, all memory from 0x80000000-0xFFFFFFFF is shared and writable to all processes. System DLLs (and other interesting bits like shared memory sections) reside there. This is not the case on NT-based OSes. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ "That's what's great about doing user interface work.

anyone?

Awesome thanks, you guys are both right, they were resolved during linking. My options now are to either create a separate process, or manually parse the assembly code (ugh). We'll see how this goes.

This program will list all the addresses in "Kernel32.dll" that would need relocating if it didn't load at its preferred base address: // Relocations.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application. //   #include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std;   int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { // First get the DOS header. char *pBase = (char*)GetModuleHandle("kernel32.dll"); PIMAGE_DOS_HEADER pDOS = (PIMAGE_DOS_HEADER)pBase; assert(pDOS->e_magic == IMAGE_DOS_SIGNATURE);   // Get the NT headers. PIMAGE_NT_HEADERS pNT = (PIMAGE_NT_HEADERS)(pBase + pDOS->e_lfanew); assert(pNT->Signature == IMAGE_NT_SIGNATURE);   // Now get the "optional" header. PIMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER pOpt = &(IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER)(pNT->OptionalHeader); assert(pOpt->Magic == IMAGE_NT_OPTIONAL_HDR32_MAGIC);   // Get a pointer to the relocation table and its size. PIMAGE_DATA_DIRECTORY pRelocDD = &(pOpt->DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_BASERELOC]); DWORD SizeOfRelocs = pRelocDD->Size; PIMAGE_BASE_RELOCATION pReloc = (PIMAGE_BASE_RELOCATION)(pBase + pRelocDD->VirtualAddress);   for (DWORD ToGo = SizeOfRelocs; ToGo>0; /*Empty*/) { WORD *pRelocArray = (WORD*)(pReloc + 1); DWORD NumRelocs = (pReloc->SizeOfBlock - sizeof(IMAGE_BASE_RELOCATION)) / sizeof(WORD);   for (DWORD i=0; i<NumRelocs; ++i) { WORD val = pRelocArray[i]; WORD Type = val >> 12; WORD RVA = val & 0x0FFF;   cout << hex << "Type = " << Type << ", Address = " << (DWORD)(pBase + pReloc->VirtualAddress + RVA) << endl; }   ToGo -= pReloc->SizeOfBlock; pReloc = (PIMAGE_BASE_RELOCATION)((char*)pReloc + pReloc->SizeOfBlock); }   return 0; } See here[^] for for information.

Yeah, I've moved from C# back to C++, and while I love it overall, there are definately things I notice are 'missing' ( although the same is true going the other way ) Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

thanks, that link explains why it doesn't work. so, tbe answer is no? oh well, i'll figure something out ;P

oops, sorry the formatter messed up my template<> brakets. anyway i think i figured it out -- abstract classes are basically the same as interfaces, so use it: template class ITest { void TestFunc(T& data, int size); // ... };

Maybe this article is useful for you: Static Constructor in C++

No. Properties do not exist in C++. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

The usual approach in these cases is to pass a global function or a static member function, eventually registering the callback along with a user data value, that gets passed back as a parameter in each callback. As the user data value, you may pass a pointer to some object, and the static class member can use it to access other non static members of the class. -- jlr http://jlamas.blogspot.com/[^]

ok thank you so much, my code compiles and runs now ;)
