Actually that sounds great. I hadn't heard of __isascii before and will try it out. Seems like that will require less lines of code than what I was thinking of....thanks for the time./j

Given a null-terminated char array what is the most efficient method to validate that each byte contains a valid ASCII character (i.e. A-Z, 0-9, CR, LF, ..). Curious as to opinions here... thanks,

What is the best and most straight-forward method of triggering a thread when a new USB 'thumb' drive has been inserted into a computer. We are trying to restrict custom backups to only certain 'blessed' USB drives. Any hints on how to either monitor a device list, etc. would be most helpful...

I’ve had several situations come up where software I’ve written has been used without proper licensing. From some reading and research it appears that this was done using a technique called “Reverse Engineering” (RE). The top tools used to perform this seem to be InCtrl5, VMWare (..and other...

My fault...should have said it upfront. Primary application is a non-managed C++ console application (no MFC included). I'd just like to open up a 2nd console for debuging....and route debugging messages to it.... thanks./jbs

I've got an application that I'm building that needs to be debug'ed. Given the data, application, and other factors I think it would be best/easiest to setup a separate console windows that I can send debug text info to while the program is running. Within the Microsoft Visual Studio.NET...

Need to add a keyword and change the author field, programmatically via C++, of large amount of existing Office files. Very much need to do this via a quick C++ function / application... Any ideas? thanks, jerry

thanks for the terrific explaination! I'll try that today/j

Thanks for your quick response, however if you (or anyone) has a moment my question is really a two part question. First, how do I create a .lib file with a function in it. A reference (url link) would work fine (i've looked through msdn, etc. but couldn't find a clear example) or an example...

How do I create a .lib file that has some custom functions? How do I then call these individual functions from my program. I'm familiar with how to link the .lib n my VC++ IDE project environement. thanks/j

How can I detect if 2-3 specific keys are depressed, and held for a few seconds, on the keyboard? I want a thread from my program to trigger an event if this happens? (not including

How can I create a system process that is started at boot time instead of a standard user VB application? /jerry

Are you trying to change the font within the development environement or in real-time while the application is running? Also, what version of Visual Studio are you using? (Visual Studio 6.0, Visual Studio.NET or Visual Studio 2003....I think these are the most recent versions). Knowing the...

I forgot to mention: As usual, the best implementation would be a W95 Retail thru WXP/2003 server compatible solution however any suggestions will be most appricatiated.

How do you determine which serial ports are installed and activated via the BIOS on a typical computer. For example, a computer could have two serial communication ports and only have one of them enabled via the BIOS setup menu. Another situation might be that a PCI circuit card has been...

Two quick Unicode related questions: #1) What is the difference, if any, between TEXT("a string") versus _T("a string") #2) VS.NET 2003 VC71 configuration question: What is the difference between the configuration setting "Multi-byte character set" versus the...

Pete, I could use a second or two with the implementation. As shown below I've implemented the createprocess and created a heap area. It works, however how do I set up the handle to the output stream correctly and then copy the console data -=via the output handle- to the heap area. Thanks...

I'm trying to find a way to send the console output from an application that is run via a shellexecute api. For example, the below lines of code will do a shell execute that produces a console window that has the time on it (this is just an example...I know how to obtain system time...again it'...

Is there a tool built into Visio 2002 that will convert my UML diagram into a Visual C++ code structure. /Jerry

I'd like the child application to create a process that will store it's output in memory so that the main program can use it. The advantage of it going directly into memory of course is high access speed and I can avoid all issues related to create new files in various places....for starters...
