A couple of months back, the “Social Activity Group” in my company started a campaign whereby it would turn off the monitors if seen not in use. This was really a great initiative to bring down the energy wastage within the company. This motivated me to write a simple application that would do what the group was trying. The best time when a monitor should turn off is when we lock the computer. Hence it makes sense to turn it off as soon as we lock a machine.... |

Many articles have been written about Windows performance counters.
Several paths are available to interact with these counters. The appropriate technology to use depends on several factors like the know-how of the one responsible for the implementation, the platform where the application consuming the counters is running on, the availability of WMI, the type of data to collect, and of course, the type of diagnosis to perform.... |

This project is an attempt to create a utility or tool application that will display all the system information like CPU, OS, Multimedia, etc. The idea behind this application is no different than the one implemented in most of Microsoft’s System Info utility in Office products. But my application takes couple of steps more and displays more info than the available utilities. In this version (V1) of application, following information is displayed.
* OS Version
* CPU
* Me... |

DtWinVer is a routine which provides a comprehensive method to determine which OS the program that calls it is running on. All methods it uses are fully documented on various articles on the MSDN CD. The routine provides the emulated OS aswell as the underlying OS. e.g. to a Dos program Windows 95 looks like MS-DOS 7.0.... |

This article demonstrates an effective use of the Window Finder utility that I presented in my CodeProject article last week: MS Spy++ Style Window Finder.
The demo app is a Sys Tray utility that activates a context menu when doubled-clicked. Using the demo app, you are able to manipulate the Z-order of a top-level window or dialog box, making it always on top of any other window on the desktop. Although my main intension is to give a demonstration of one possible use of the Window Finder... |

This little utility was developed for work so that deployment locations (DEV, QA, PROD) could be backed up before running a new deployment. It has served its purpose well and saved my butt and my co-worker's butts a number of times. Here are a few highlights:
* OO Design
* UI Threaded
* Able to back up files in network locations
* Uses XML backup sets
* Preserves full file locations... |

I’ve come across countless situations where routinely used utilitarian functions are simply not available, and coders simply have to write and rewrite them many times over. This is one of many articles in a series which will try to provide a collection of routinely used functions with example applications on how to use them, in the hope that they will be as useful to the many developers out there as it has been to me.... |

Everybody needs at least twice a file splitter utility. One day I created my own just to do the things to be done :), and then I realized that I could make it run much faster (the FileSPlitter v0.1 runs @ 1~2bytes/hour ^_^), so I inserted some multithreading, some event handling, enlarged the cache used, and of course, rewrote the split and merge methods. Now, it's quite fast: up to 20 Mb/s.... |

This C++ program is a simple example of how a language like Fortran 77 can be converted into usable C++ code. The C++ code leaves the original intent of the program intact, but the current example does not handle special cases like string formatting, such as the FORMAT statement. In addition, GOTO statements are converted as they are in the original Fortran program, which in some cases may lead to spaghetti-like code.... |

How many times have I had to parse a text file? Be it for reading some startup options, some kind of resource file or just to extract data from a web page or some other kind of textual data. I don t remember, but I do remember that every project started with same mantra: a few lines of code to open the file, to move through the file line by line, do my stuff and finally to close the file after parsing is done.... |

If you create a Windows program using the MFC Application Wizard, the program will not show text output which has been sent to the Standard Output or Standard Error handles.
Visibility of the output may be desirable at some point in time for diagnostic or functional purposes. Or you may wish to add command line operation of the program. Then to be consistent with command line operation, text should automatically be output to the command/dos window.... |

To successfully install the wizard, you must first download "Wizard.zip". After decompressing the file "Wizard.zip", you will obtain a directory "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET". It has two sub-directories, one is codeproject and the other is vc. Now copy all the sub-directories of this directory into your "Visual Studio .NET 2003" install directory.... |

This article is a rework of the idea from an existing article but with the focus on usability and ease of use.
This utility creates unique preprocessor macros to prevent multiple header inclusion. If a filename is specified as a command line argument or a file is dropped onto the dialog, it's name is also included in the macro.... |

Software evolves. As much as we, both as programmers and as users, would like to have software that has all features we'd ever want and is completely bug free, and both these things at the time that we first buy the software, that is simply not going to happen. The requirements of users will evolve over the lifespan of any piece of software, and new versions with new or updated functionality and fixes for bugs will appear (hopefully) regularly. To be able to distinguish between these versions, s... |
