I want to change the title bar of calc.exe. I read that it's done via SetWindowTextA() but when I used this it only change the title of the preview (1) and I want to change title at (2) as well.
Can anyone explain for me why it change the title at (1) not (2) and how can I change the title at (2)
The Calculator title is Text Control Type retrieved using UI Automation. However according to Text Control Type, the IValueProvider is never supported by text controls. So you can’t.
Edit:
#include <Windows.h>
#include <UIAutomation.h>
#include <wchar.h>
int Element(IUIAutomation* automation)
{
// Get the element under the cursor
// Use GetPhysicalCursorPos to interact properly with
// High DPI
POINT pt;
GetPhysicalCursorPos(&pt);
IUIAutomationElement* pAtMouse;
HRESULT hr = automation->ElementFromPoint(pt, &pAtMouse);
if (FAILED(hr))
return hr;
// Get the element's name and print it
BSTR name;
hr = pAtMouse->get_CurrentName(&name);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
IUIAutomationTextPattern* pattern;
pAtMouse->GetCurrentPatternAs(UIA_TextPatternId, IID_IUIAutomationTextPattern,(void**)&pattern);
//TODO
wprintf(L"Element's Name: %s \n", name);
SysFreeString(name);
}
// Get the element's Control Type (in the current languange)
// and print it
BSTR controlType;
hr = pAtMouse->get_CurrentLocalizedControlType(&controlType);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
wprintf(L"Element's Control Type: %s \n", controlType);
SysFreeString(controlType);
}
// Clean up our COM pointers
pAtMouse->Release();
return hr;
}
int main(int argc, TCHAR* argv[])
{
// Initialize COM and create the main Automation object
IUIAutomation* g_pAutomation;
CoInitialize(NULL);
HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(CUIAutomation), NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, __uuidof(IUIAutomation),

if (FAILED(hr))
return (hr);
bool quit = false;
while (!quit)

I need to get a list of available shared folders on the local network, the way they appear in the "Network" tab in File Explorer. Earlier, I used combination of NetServerEnum/NetShareEnum functions to obtain it, but they are using SMBv1 protocol, which is now disabled by default in windows, so now i'm getting error 1231 from NetServerEnum. But File Explorer still cat obtain this list. I tried use Process Monitor to determine, which API it use, but failed. So, is there any way to get list of available shared folders in local network without using API, that requires SMBv1?
You can use windows shell api and use FOLDERID_NetworkFolder to get the KNOWNFOLDERID of "network".
The following sample can get folders, nonfolders, and hidden items in the "network" folder.
#include <windows.h>

hr = CoInitialize(NULL);

{
printf("CoInitialize error, %x\n", hr);
return;
}
hr = SHGetKnownFolderItem(FOLDERID_NetworkFolder, KF_FLAG_DEFAULT, NULL, IID_PPV_ARGS(&pShellItem));
if (FAILED(hr))
{
printf("SHGetKnownFolderItem error, %x\n", hr);
return;
}
hr = pShellItem->BindToHandler(nullptr, BHID_EnumItems, IID_PPV_ARGS(&pShellEnum));
if (FAILED(hr))
{
printf("BindToHandler error, %x\n", hr);
return;
}
do {

if (hr == S_OK && pItem)
{

std::wcout << szName << std::endl;
CoTaskMemFree(szName);
}

I have been trying lately to get a grasp on the Windows Property System. I implemented a custom file type(Property Handler, Thumbnail Handler, Preview Handler) and I want to hide System.Size property for my file type on Windows Explorer(Details Tab on Properties dialogbox and Size Column on Details View Mode).I used the following code but no result. Is it possible to hide size property? Maybe I should write Shell Folder extension.

According to this MSDN doc, we may pass NULL for the path argument:
path [in]
The name of the task. If this value is NULL, the task will be registered in the root task folder and the task name will be a GUID value created by the Task Scheduler service.
I have a code that use this behavior. The code works fine in Win7 and 8.1, but not in my Win10 box (ver 1709 64-bit, build 16299). In Win10, it will return 0x80070005 aka "Access Denied" when path is NULL. If I specify a name like "Foobar", it will work fine.

Questions:
1) Is there a behavior change between Win10 and older Windows? I suspect there is, but I cannot find any doc that mentions it.
2) Any good alternative for this behavior? I hope I don't have to generate GUID by myself for temporary task creation.
To play an .mp3 file in Windows using (in this case) DirectShow you only need:

I can't find a way to have something like this, but to be able to play an .asx instead, like for example: http://listen.radiotunes.com/public5/solopiano.asx
In MSDN I can only find ways to do this in C# making a Forms application and inserting a WindowsMediaPlayer control in a form.
Any ideas?
An .asx file is actually a playlist. See here some information about the format.
.asx is not supported by DirectShow. See here for the supported formats.
You might parse the file, as it is XML, and find the actual URL of the stream, and then play it, or you could use the Windows Media Player SDK. You can see some sample code for WM SDK here.
OK, got it to work with this example taken from here and adding this extra line: hr = spPlayer->put_URL(L"http://listen.radiotunes.com/public5/solopiano.asx");:
#include "atlbase.h"
#include "atlwin.h"
#include "wmp.h"
#include <cstdio>
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
CoInitialize(NULL);
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
CComBSTR bstrVersionInfo; // Contains the version string.
CComPtr<IWMPPlayer> spPlayer; // Smart pointer to IWMPPlayer interface.
hr = spPlayer.CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(WindowsMediaPlayer), 0, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
hr = spPlayer->get_versionInfo(&bstrVersionInfo);
hr = spPlayer->put_URL(L"http://listen.radiotunes.com/public5/solopiano.asx");
}
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Show the version in a message box.
COLE2T pStr(bstrVersionInfo);
MessageBox(NULL, (LPCSTR)pStr, _T("Windows Media Player Version"), MB_OK);
}
// Clean up.
spPlayer.Release();
CoUninitialize();
return 0;

I created an scheduler in C++.I have set all the parameters and the task is configured to run only when the user is logged on with the user name provided(Done by setting the TASK_FLAG_RUN_ONLY_IF_LOGGED_ON flag).
When I try to run the task I get a status "Could not start". Now suppose I manually edit any property in task property and click on OK the task runs fine.
Note:The manual edit specified may be anything, like just adding a space at the end of the excecutable name or the user name. What may be the problem?

I think you need to test all return values, that could be revealing. I'm mostly suspicious about:
pITask->SetAccountInformation(L"USERNAME", NULL);
pITask->SetFlags(TASK_FLAG_RUN_ONLY_IF_LOGGED_ON);
Readinig http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa381276(VS.85).aspx I got the impression that you need to call SetFlags first and then SetAccountInformation.
I've had the same problem on XP: status "Could not start" and all ok after manual editing.
Solution:
Go to Advanced -> View Log. And see the reason for the fail.
In my case there was "The attempt to retrieve account information for the specified task failed". So I've just needed to get user name via GetUserName and set it via SetAccountInformation. Note order of SetAccountInformation and SetFlags doesn't matter.
Take a look here for other reasons.
May be it will help someone someday.
