How to retrieve the ISearchBoxInfo interface? - c++

i would like to capture the Windows' search box, for that i found out i can use the ISearchBoxInfo interface:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd562062(v=vs.85).aspx
I have the handle of the windows explorer - but i'm not really sure how to get that interface.. Any assistance would be appreciated.

function FindSearchBoxInfo(AWnd: HWND): ISearchBoxInfo;
var
ShellWindows: IShellWindows;
ExplorerIndex: Integer;
Dispatch: IDispatch;
WebBrowser2: IWebBrowser2;
ServiceProvider: IServiceProvider;
begin
Result := nil;
if Succeeded(CoCreateInstance(CLASS_ShellWindows, nil, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER or CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, IShellWindows, ShellWindows)) then
begin
for ExplorerIndex := ShellWindows.Count - 1 downto 0 do
begin
Dispatch := ShellWindows.Item(ExplorerIndex);
if Assigned(Dispatch) then
begin
if Succeeded(Dispatch.QueryInterface(IWebBrowser2, WebBrowser2)) then
begin
if WebBrowser2.HWND = AWnd then
begin
if Succeeded(Dispatch.QueryInterface(IServiceProvider, ServiceProvider)) then
begin
ServiceProvider.QueryService(SID_SSearchBoxInfo, ISearchBoxInfo, Result);
ServiceProvider := nil;
end;
WebBrowser2 := nil;
Dispatch := nil;
ShellWindows := nil;
Exit;
end;
WebBrowser2 := nil;
end;
Dispatch := nil;
end;
end;
ShellWindows := nil;
end;
end;

How do I combine FreeArc compression with Inno Setup? [duplicate]

I've been trying to make an installer by Inno Setup which only supports zip/bzip/lzma/lzma2 compression methods. I packed my archive by FreeArc (output file extension is .arc but renamed it to .bin) but Inno Setup is not able to extract it. I searched on internet how to implant arc decompression into Inno Setup but all sites refer to FreeArc official website which is dead for a while.
All I need is the code to use the necessary dll files to give Inno Setup the ability to decompress arc archives plus the list of those dll files needed to do so.
I appreciate any help.
This answer has been superseded by Inno Setup - How to add cancel button to decompressing page? that uses unarc.dll instead of driving the console Arc.exe.
I'm keeping this answer, as its concept can be useful for other archive types.
See the example below. It:
takes an ARC file, embeds it to the installer
during installation, the ARC file is extracted to a temporary folder
the files from the ARC file is extracted to the target folder
#define ArcArchive "test.arc"
[Files]

The code needs arc.exe (I've taken it from PeaZip portable package).
For CreateCallback function, you need Inno Setup 6. If you are stuck with Inno Setup 5, you can use WrapCallback function from InnoTools InnoCallback library (and you need Unicode version of Inno Setup 5).
Alternatively, to avoid double extraction, you can distribute the arc file along the installer.
Just use {src} to resolve its path:
ArcArchivePath := ExpandConstant('{src}\{#ArcArchive}');
And remove the {#ArcArchive} entry from the [Files] section.
It would be more robust to implement the extraction using unarc.dll, like seen in the FreeArc+InnoSetup package ISFreeArcExtract v.4.0.rar.

How to Mock Spring4D Events with DUnit

I am struggling to successfully mock a Spring4d Event with DUnit.
In fact I am more mocking a mock returning a mock of an event...
This is the basic structure.
TMyObject --EventContainer--> TMock<IEventContainer> --Event--> TMock<IEvent>
TMyObject has a property EventContainer : IEventContainer
IEventContainer has a property Event : IMyEvent
I want to mock
MyObject.EventContainer.Event.Add

First your approach is wrong. Inheriting an interface and then adding {$M+} will only include method info for the methods added from there on. That means even if you add a method with the same signature as a parent interface has will not make the mock work because the code will still call the parent interfaces method and not the one you added.
Furthermore DelphiMocks in this case is the victim of a bug in TValue conversion of an interface to its parent type. This is just not supported - see Rtti.ConvIntf2Intf.
I would suggest compiling Spring4D with IEvent inheriting from IInvokable to get method info in there and avoid inheriting from it.
If you do that the following tests will pass - all others are just passing the mock wrong:
Test_InstanceAsValue;
Test_Value_From_Instance;
Test_Mocked_Container_Value_From;
In Spring4D 1.2 we are introducing a new interception library that is also used for our mocking solution. Also the container will be able to provide automocking. So you can write your test like this:
var
container: TContainer;
event: IMyEvent;
begin
container := TContainer.Create;
container.AddExtension<TAutoMockExtension>;
try
FMyObject.EventContainer := container.Resolve<ITestEventContainer>;
event := FMyObject.EventContainer.Event;
event.Add(nil);
finally
container.Free;
end;
end;
The container will create mocks for any type it needs to resolve that it does not know. In this test you could register the class you want to test and the container automatically injects any dependency as mock.
var
container: TContainer;
event: IMyEvent;
begin
container := TContainer.Create;
container.AddExtension<TAutoMockExtension>;
container.RegisterType<TMyObject>.InjectProperty('EventContainer');
container.Build;
try
FMyObject := container.Resolve<TMyObject>;
event := FMyObject.EventContainer.Event;
event.Add(nil);
finally
container.Free;
end;
end;
You can go even further and integrate the auto mocking container into a base testcase class:
program Project2;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
uses
Classes,
SysUtils,
DUnitTestRunner,
TestFramework,
Spring.Events,
Spring,

IMyEvent = IEvent<TNotifyEvent>;
IEventContainer = interface(IInvokable)
function GetEvent: IMyEvent;
procedure SetEvent(const Value: IMyEvent);
property Event: IMyEvent read GetEvent write SetEvent;
end;
TMyObject = class(TObject)
private
FEventContainer: IEventContainer;
public
property EventContainer: IEventContainer read FEventContainer write FEventContainer;
end;

Get current path of windows explorer C++

i actually want to detect when a specific folder is opened on Windows, but after some research it seems that it is impossible. So, I want to get the current path of windows explorer, so i could compare it to the path of the folder in question, but I can't figure it out how to get this path... I only have this function but it gives me only the name of the folder.
string GetActiveWindowTitle()
{
char wnd_title[256];
HWND hwnd=GetForegroundWindow();
GetWindowText(hwnd,wnd_title,sizeof(wnd_title));
return wnd_title;
}

GetSaveFileName fails with CDERR_FINDRESFAILURE

I've written a TOpenPictDialog (source code see below) component, which finally fails under certain circumstands when calling
Result := TDialogFunc(DialogFunc)(DialogData);
in Dialogs.pas. As DialogFunc correctly points to GetOpenFileName I call CommDlgExtendedError afterwards for test to find out what's wrong. It returns CDERR_FINDRESFAILURE. In this case the dialog is simply not showing. My test form only contains a button and the TOpenPictDialog component, when pressing the button, OpenPictDialog1->Execute is called - that's all.
The very strange thing is that it does work perfectly (besides of the TListView flickering on resize) under one of the following circumstands:
a) add ExtDlgs in "uses" in calling form
b) add an original TOpenPictureDialog to the form without calling it
c) adding the PAS file containing TOpenPictDialog to the project (although TOpenPictDialog has been already installed)
If I write a C++ Builder application with the one calling form I never get TOpenPictDialog working (even if I add the additional TOpenPictureDialog component).

When you copied the code from ExtDlgs.pas to begin writing yours, you didn't copy enough. In particular, you didn't copy the $R directive that links the associated ExtDlgs.rc file, which contains the dialog resource describing the additional layout of the custom dialog box.
Your code tells the API to use a dialog resource named DLGTEMPLATE, but you haven't included that resource in your program. That explains why the error code you get is about a failure to find a resource. Using the ExtDlgs unit has the side effect of linking that unit's associated resources.
Go copy the dialog template from ExtDlgs.rc into your own RC file and link it as ExtDlgs.pas does. Use a different name for the resource, though, to avoid a name clash with the existing DLGTEMPLATE resource. Adjust your code accordingly.

Inno Setup/Pascal Scripting - Casting Returning Nil

I'm trying to write some Pascal script for a installer I'm making with Inno Setup Compiler 5.5.1. I'm currently trying to add a custom wizard page that executes a command, taking user input from text fields (TEdit components). I defined the NextButtonClick function, and it checks that the Page ID is the custom page I defined and attempts to retrieve the user input from the field. When I get it from the components of the Page's Surface property, it gets returned as a TComponent. To get the next I need to cast it to a TEdit, so I tried casting it and it seems to be returning nil. Besides the scripting for Inno I've been doing for the past few days, I don't have much experience with Pascal, so I could possibly be doing something wrong. But I'd appreciate the help!
Here's the chunk of code giving me an issue for reference (with debugging lines left in):
function NextButtonClick(CurPageID: Integer): Boolean;
var
ResultCode: Integer;
CurrPage: TWizardPage;
Server : TComponent;
Server2: TEdit;
SurfacePage : TNewNotebookPage;
ServerStr : String;
begin
if CurPageID = 100 then
begin
CurrPage := PageFromID(100);
SurfacePage := CurrPage.Surface;
Server := SurfacePage.Controls[0];
Server2 := TEdit(Server); // RETURNS NIL HERE
if Server2 = nil then
MsgBox('', mbInformation, MB_OK);
ServerStr := Server2.Text;
MsgBox(ServerStr, mbInformation, MB_OK);
//ShellExec('', 'sqlcmd', '-S ' + ServerStr + ' -Q ":r setMemUsage.sql"', ExpandConstant('{app}') + '\sql', SW_SHOW, ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResultCode);
end;
Result := True;
end;
I can't simulate your problem. I've used this minimalistic code:
[Code]
var
CustomPageID: Integer;
procedure InitializeWizard;
var
EditBox: TEdit;
CustomPage: TWizardPage;
begin
CustomPage := CreateCustomPage(wpWelcome, '', '');
CustomPageID := CustomPage.ID;
EditBox := TEdit.Create(WizardForm);
EditBox.Parent := CustomPage.Surface;
end;
procedure CurPageChanged(CurPageID: Integer);
var
EditBox: TEdit;
Component: TComponent;
CustomPage: TWizardPage;
begin
if (CurPageID = CustomPageID) then
begin
CustomPage := PageFromID(CustomPageID);
Component := CustomPage.Surface.Controls[0];
if (Component is TEdit) then
begin
MsgBox('Controls[0] is assigned and is TEdit', mbInformation, MB_OK);
EditBox := TEdit(Component);
EditBox.Text := 'Hi, I''m just a modified edit text!';
end;
end;
end;
