• Software Development for Windows Vista Unable to call "CoInitializeSecurity"

  Hi Everyone. I'm in trouble about DCOM server & client system in Vista. When the Client try to call a procedure in a remote DCOM server, CoInitializeSecurity(client side) is failed by "RPC_E_TOO_LATE". By MSDN document it occurs when CoInitializeSecurity() has been already called. But in this case it had never been called in a same process. I have this problem only in Vista OS. It worked correctly in XP and 2003ServerR2. If anybody have a good suggestion, please tell me. Kohei. Dear Mr.Lundt I really appreciate your quick reply. >CoInitializedSecuirty can be called on the client, the server, >or both and should be OK. Just curious are you calling ...Show All

• Visual C++ disabling the keyboard

  I am trying to create a program that will disable the keyboard, and another that will re-enable it. How would you go about doing this without doing a full keyboard hook I would do it in a batch file with the command "rundll32 keyboard,disable" but that requires a full system restart in order for the keyboard to become usable once again. Does anyone have an idea on how to do this P.S. I am not sure if this is in the correct forum, if it is not my apologies Hello Re: disabling the keyboard As you may already known, such question is outside the scope of this forum, see: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=789657&SiteID=1 Personally, I'd like to recommend you to d ...Show All

• Visual Basic Process the contents of a listbox as an enum

  Assume that I have populated the contents of a listbox with the members of an Enum. Further assume that a user selects an item in that listbox. Suppose that I want to determine which item was selected. Can I process the selected item somehow using that Enum and its properties/methods i.e., comparing the value of the listbox item to Enum.enumitem Yeah, you can use the shared function System.Enum.Parse: System.Enum.Parse(GetType(EnumTypeName), lboListbox.Text) which returns the value. EnumTypeName is the name of your enumarion. Be sure not to try to get a value for a non existing string value, you will get an exception. Regards ...Show All
