• Software Development for Windows Vista Calling CreateProcessAsUser() from service

  According to some MS documents (e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/vista/services.mspx), it should be possible to use CreateProcessAsUser() API in a Vista service to create a process in user session. I am trying to achive this, but the function returns error code 1307 (ERROR_INVALID_OWNER) = "This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object." Does it work for somebody Many thanks in advance. The call was in windbg, I used DebugBreak() to get into step by step. (Somehow I couldn't use OutputDebugStringA() to display using DbgView.exe). When I use Remote Desktop to debug, the session id is 3, however WTSQueryUserToken() failed with the same error 1008. ...Show All

I now the sample in the help documentation but i don`t understand it and it doesn`t really work. Could someone give me a sample collision class Can you also show me how to use the class boundingbox i am to stupid for it. Thanks to all Thanks for the code! I tried it on my models, which were made in 3D Studio Max and exported to .X format, but I had to add an extra foreach in there because the MeshContents are grandchildren of input instead of just children.

• Visual C++ programming message switch

  Does anyone know of a tutorial/website that explains how to program the message switch into the message loop It won't let me handle some messages inside the loop. I suggest that you rewrite your message loop to something similar to bool bRet; MSG msg; while((bRet = GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) != 0) { if(bRet == -1 || msg.message == WM_QUIT) { return -1; } else { TranslateMessage(&msg); DispatchMessage(&msg); } } And continue dealing with the messages in your WndProc LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch(Msg) { case WM_SIZE: //... return 0; // proper return value differs between the messages case WM_ ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net application Eating Memory & releases when minimized

  Dear all, I have developed an application based on C#, The problem is "Garbage Collector being not called" from the application, i have not used any unmanaged code. The application is a Multithreaded application and the Memory Usages figure in Task Manager comes to minimum when i minimizes the application. Example: Task manager's Mem Usage is showing 328 MB and on minimizing the application it shows 45 MB. thanks in advance... aniruddh Hi Aniruddh Task Manager is unfortunately a very poor way to measure how much memory your application is using. What you're seeing is "working set", and Windows automatically trims an application's working set when it is minimized. T ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Workflow created in SharePoint Designer doesn't work ...

  Hi, I created a custom workflow using SharePoint designer. It is okay when the system admin (the one who created the workflow in sharepoint designer) submits an InfoPath form to the library and then the workflow has been started. However, when a normal user (even with Full Control Permission) submits the InfoPath form to the library and the workflow cannot be started. Any additional security setup has to be configured when workflow is created in SharePoint Designer Thanks so much. Paul I've fixed my issue. I've added Log to action into workflow to debug and see where it fails. Basically, in sharepoint groups that I was using to send emails and assign to do's, I had option enabled "Allow members of the group see ot ...Show All
