Looks like the missing initialization didn't pass unnoticed... Big Grin | :-D

Hi,
i would like to know the best way to convert a char (e.g 'c') to its hex string representation (i.e 63) in c++ and save it to a file as such.

Thank you, but is there also a way to do it with ofstream or ostringstream?
So many streams are available, so confusing Smile | :)

Naturellement!

#include <fstream>

void main()
{
  std::ofstream os;
  os.open("foo.txt");
  os.unsetf(std::ios_base::dec);
  os.setf(std::ios_base::hex);
  os << (int) 'c' << std::endl;
  os.close();
}

Thanks again, another problem came up though. The character has reinterpret_cast<char*> in front of it and then the address of the vector element. The reinterpret_cast should to my opininon put the char in correct format, but it wont come out right Frown | :(

Is there any way to differentiate programmatically which event is occuring i.e shutdown or restart after catching WM_QUERYENDSESSION??

Knowing how Windows was last shut down is helpful?

Hi David,

Indeed it is helpful :

For eg:

User A pressed 'Restart' on the 'Shutdown Windows ' dialog. My application recieves WM_QUERYENDSESSION message and I return false (means I am temorarily delaying the shutdown) , but WM_QUERYENDSESSION never lets me differentiate between a 'Shutdown' & 'Restart'. Now, in this time after my application has completed its work it wants to continue with the operation that user chose then this registry value is one thing that lets me know whether the user tried 'Shutdown' or 'Restart', thus accordingly I can perform his desired operation Smile | :)

Have you verified that the registry is updated with the 'restart' flag even though no restart was performed?

Kushagra Tiwari30-Oct-09 4:49

30-Oct-09 4:49

Yes david .. It works perfectly fine .. I have verified it just now Smile | :)

Kushagra Tiwari30-Oct-09 4:57

Did you try to cross verify it ??

No, why would I?

Software is not getting fully installed inside a folder with name "," (comma). Some of the files are missing

30-Oct-09 5:07

I thought u must have tried it before, thats why u mast have asked the question of verifying.

Anyways , thanks for the help. Smile | :)

Hi,
Our software (our product) is not getting fully installed inside a folder with name "," (comma). I tried installing on a folder with name ";" (semi colon) then software got fully installed.

What could be the reason.

Thanks.
