I used FindFirstUrlCacheEntry/FindNextUrlCacheEntry Win API to get Internet Explorer's history programmatically in C++.
Can you tell me how to get Microsoft Edge History using C++ (Windows API)?
Not possible at this point in time. Might want to use the 'suggestions routes' at some of the links below.

The history is stored in \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\WebCacheV01.dat. It uses Microsoft’s Extensible Storage Engine to store data. There is a C++ wrapper for accessing Extensible Storage Engine files I've used to access data from this file.
The "Containers" table inside WebCacheV01.dat tells which "Container_X" tables have type of "Content" or "History", as well as the Secure Directories and their order. You can use the ESEDatabaseView utility to view the data inside the WebCacheV01.dat file.

My ultimate goal is to have map data (offline, because I will customize it myself) and display it in an app (Android). I could make osmdroid work to load maps online and I was trying to figure out how to download and display offline maps. I downloaded MOBAC (Mobile Atlas Creator) and export the data to SQLite format and when I had a look at it I realized that tiles are saved in image format (PNG).
What I would like to do is to import data to the phone to later use it in algorithms such as a search engine or a routing algorithm, so I need the "nodes" and "ways" (as I get them from the original OSM XML), import them to the phone and visualize it to later have this data available for the algorithms I want to develop. Basically, what MAPS.ME does. I think it wouldn't be difficult to convert the XML into the SQLite since a simple script could make it, but then, how can I generate the tiles from this custom SQLite database? Or, is there a way I can download the data in a more appropriate way to do what I'm planning to do?
Thanks.
Rendering the tiles in an app from raw Openstreetmap data would be computation heavy and inefficient. I would suggest to use image tiles you exported for visual representation.
In addition to tiles you should export a data set you will need in the application for desired functionality. You will not need all data from Openstreetmap so you should identify what you need and build your custom export (there are tools and libraries for processing and filtering of Openstreetmap data. I have used pyosmium for some filtering and processing but there are others.) For example, you can build your custom database with POIs you want to search for.
Routing is another chapter. You can implement it yourself but it is a very complex task. There is java library called Graphopper which can do the data extraction (from Openstreetmap) and offline routing for you. They have an online API too but it is possible to make it working completely offline (I did it for one application). Try to look at the source code because than you can see how complex topic routing is. Final note: data exported from Graphopper contains information about some POIs along routes. It may be possible to search for some things via its java API but I haven't investigated this yet.
Is there a solution to save the map tiles inside the app like the Mobile Atlas Creator works on the desktop?
I only found a way by using PC application.
There sure is. It probably needs some more testing, but the example is located here:
https://github.com/osmdroid/osmdroid/blob/master/OpenStreetMapViewer/src/main/java/org/osmdroid/samplefragments/cache/SampleCacheDownloaderArchive.java
Essentially, when you fire up an instance of CacheManager, it gets the map view's IFileSystemCache instance, which is normally the Sqlite tile cache (the kind that expires). This example feeds in an alternate implementation that produces a permanent sql tile archive (no expiration dates in it).
Use it with caution has many tile sources do not allow you to do this in their terms of service and you can get banned for doing so
Edit: there's more info the wiki

Back in the good old days of flex (anyone?) flash builder provided a tool for generating the clients model based on the server model. Is there something similar for generating, say an ember's app model, based on the odata metadata?
datajs documentation does mention the subject. Though the reference for OData.read used in the sample doesn't say explicitly that it interprets the metadata somehow, it seems implied. You'll have to verify that.
It does take an optional metadata object however, suggesting there exists a formal representation for metadata to the library -- I would imagine generated via OData.read. Documentation seems non-existent. I don't know what that looks like.
From there, you should be able to further transform the model to something suitable for Ember.
(datajs is a low-level javascript library that implements client-side OData operations.)
I also know that JayStack provides a JaySvcUtil, a CLI process assembly (.NET program) that extracts metadata. The destination format is JavaScript code, though the model it uses is specific to JayData. Still, you may be able to work from there.
As mentioned by Maya, Microsoft provides the OData Client Code Generator, which generates .NET proxies. Might be more difficult to transform that.
If none of these work for you (which is actually likely), you can always parse the $metadata resource yourself -- I believe it always uses an XML representation in all current versions of OData.
If you need to do it dynamically in the browser, use DOMParser or XMLHttpRequest. More information.
If you can do it statically, then by all means do so -- it's simply best for performance. In this case, you can use whatever language and runtime tools you want to fetch, parse, transform and re-serialize the model.
The format (CSDL) is specified for OData here (v4) and here (v3).
Finally, check out this list, something new may appear that better fits your needs.
There are two suggestion which may help you.
1, OData provide client code generator to generate client-side proxy class. Just need to pass metadata url, .net client code will be generate for you. You can follow the following blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/odatateam/archive/2014/03/11/how-to-use-odata-client-code-generator-to-generate-client-side-proxy-class.aspx
2, If the model means "EdmModel", you can just de-serialize $metadata. OData reader can de-serialize the $metadata to IEdmModel, which can be used in client side. The following is sample code:
HttpWebRequestMessage message = new HttpWebRequestMessage(new Uri(ServiceBaseUri.AbsoluteUri + "$metadata", UriKind.Absolute));
message.SetHeader("Accept", MimeTypes.ApplicationXml);
using (var messageReader = new ODataMessageReader(message.GetResponse()))
{
Model = messageReader.ReadMetadataDocument();
}
I need some help for interrogating an xlsb database (file) from a VCL C++ program; (using C++Builder XE2) mainly, i would like to query the data inside for simple viewing (its on the same machine, no networking involved), and i don't need to modify it ! so i would like to know :
Which control to use for connecting to an xlsb database
(TDatabase, dbExpress ?)
How to use that control for the purpose
of reading the data, (same as SQL?)
The difference between the regular xsl and xslb, and are they used in the same manner ?
I did some research before asking, but the information about that is pretty scarce !
(i'm on Win 7 64bit)
Thank you all !
Never tested it with these files but i believe you can use a TADOConnection and then user Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers as the data provider, i know it can use access and excel files as a source, personally i have only ever used it for access files, but it might do what you want.
