  way of screenshoting a area of the screen         


Author: Alex G.
Date: Jul 20, 2008 14:30

Hello people, I am in search of a way of screenshoting a small rectangle
on the screen. Is there a way to do that or screenshoting the whole
screen is the only way? My goal is to make a shot of a small rectangle
on the screen that contains some numbers, than somehow(dont know how
yet, dont even know if its possible) recognize the numbers from the pic
and convert them in integers. So, is there a way of taking a screenshot
only of a part of the screen? Thanks

  ANN: Seed7 Release 2008-07-20         


Author: thomas.mertes

Hello,

I have released a new version of Seed7: seed7_05_20080720.tgz

In the Seed7 programming language new statements and operators
can be declared easily. Types are first class objects and therefore
templates/generics need no special syntax. Object orientation is
used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious.

Seed7 is covered by the GPL (and LGPL for the Seed7 runtime library).

Changelog:
- The FAQs about reserved words and templates were improved.
- The chapters about boolean, integer, bigInteger, rational, float,
complex, char and array in the manual, were improved.
- A subrange...

  Unexpected STATUS_VERIFY_REQUIRED from the lower level driver         


Author: Martin
Date: Jul 20, 2008 02:58

Hi!

One of my application's functionalities is transparent ecryption/
decryption of storage, including removable media. Two main components
are used for this purpose: 1) a service which drives the encryption/
decryption, if the user selected a specific drive to be encrypted or
decrypted; 2) a filter driver, which filters read/write requests from
the system, also handles control requests from the abovementioned
service to encrypt/decrypt media.

  MSN protocol resources         


Author: s0suk3
Date: Jul 19, 2008 22:31

Hi,

I've been searching for papers that document the MSN protocol. I made
a post to comp.programming about it (http://groups.google.com/group/
comp.programming/browse_thread/thread/0d66cc21122af58e#), and was told
that MSN exports Win32 COM interfaces.

I'm new to Windows APIs, so I wanted to ask about the previously
mentioned interface. (Is there one? How to use it?)

Thanks,
Sebastian

  Conditional building of a dll ? a solution with the .def file ?         


Author:
Date: Jul 18, 2008 05:21

Hi everybody,

Is there a way to export or not a function from a dll, using a .def
file, using something like a C macro ?

I'd like to write something in this spirit :

LIBRARY toto BASE=0x10080000
EXPORTS

func_1
func_2

#ifdef ARM
func_3
#endif

(I use the C macro in my exemple just to explain what I need)

What i expect is to build a dll without func_3 exported if ARM is not
defined.

I didn't find anything in msdn.

Do you see any solution ?

Many thanks

  Scrollbar height         


Author: Piranha
Date: Jul 18, 2008 01:54

Is it possible to alter the height of the scrollbar in a window that
has WS_VSCROLL style?
The window has a height of 200px, and I´d like to reduce the scrollbar
to 150px height with 25px space above and below.
I´ve found something about setting the size of the client rect, but
for one that was for VC while I´m using plain C++, so if possible, I
need an API call or some SendMessage() and for two, reducing the
client rect of the window means I can´t paint above and below anymore,
unless I could reduce the client rect only for the scrollbar and not
for the whole window.

some menu will be displayed, on next boot.
(equal to press F8 on start up)

i want to make a restore solution,
so, i must figure it out about last boot failure.

  Access USB device properties using C#         


Author: Andrew Falanga
Date: Jul 17, 2008 11:54

Hi,

I asked a question about accessing USB devices previously and
incorrectly stated my question. I'd like to know how I can obtain
information about USB devices using C# such as the USB VID/PID. What
is necessary for this?

Sorry for the incorrectly worded question.

  Accessing USB devices         


Author: Andrew Falanga
Date: Jul 17, 2008 09:43

Hi,

What mechanisms (libraries, etc.) are available, using MS libraries,
for accessing USB devices? Ideally, for C# (since I should write it
in that language), but C++ is ok too. I'm not much of a MS person and
if this is not the correct forum for C#, please point me to that
forum.

I'm looking through MSDN now but honestly the searches bring back so
much information that I doubt I'll get to it all. What would I search
for in the VS help aside from MSDN?

Thanks,
Andy
