I have read this post and I had little success with the given answer. It said to
use WTSEnumerateSessions to find the right desktop
but all I got was the station name in the WTS_SESSION_INFO struct. The names I saw (e.g. "console", "service") were nothing like the station/desktop names like "Winsta0\default". The answer proceed to state
then CreateProcessAsUser to start the application on that desktop (you pass it the handle of the desktop as part of the STARTUPINFO structure)
I don't think it's referring to a HANDLE variable for the desktop since STARTUPINFO has no members for that. What I think it's referring to is the lpDesktop member which allows you to specify the station/desktop name. Using names returned by WTSEnumerateSessions failed to launch any visible UI, whereas "Winsta0\default" did.
What did I do wrong?
Just tried WTSEnumerateSessions on Windows Seven: my user session (session 1) is named "Console".

I follow the tutorial to set up a TraceLoggingProvider in my application.
During the application runs, I try to use xperf -providers to see if my user event provider is there:
I cannot see the name I defined in TRACELOGGING_DEFINE_PROVIDER but only the defined GUID is shown. Is it intended?
Instead following another tutorial with WPRP file, I just use xperf -start to capture events. And the same: I can only use GUID as parameter, not the defined name! is it also intended?
Anyway, at the end I can view the result properly in WPA and the defined name of my user event provider is visible.
are all my observaton intended?
The name you use in the C++ code is unrelated to the display name on your pc.
You'd have a displayed name (instead of GUID) if this was a manifested installed provider, but TraceLogging isn't manifested (at least, not in the classical sense - an impromptu manifest is embedded into the image, and sent in the messages).
I think this is old question but I need to detail my case.
I use the command Set objAcad = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application") to call AutoCAD and get error as above.
But this command worked well when PC has admin user but for some security reasons, this right is removed. User only use standard (domain) user.
Only AutoCAD 2006,2007,2008,2009 got this issue. It works on AutoCAD 2015(even domain user).
I used win7 64bit.
Thanks for any support.
Try passing an empty string instead of nothing as the first parameter, i.e.
Set objAcad = GetObject("", "AutoCAD.Application")
According to this reference there is a difference. In your example, if an instance does not already exist, it will return an error, but with the empty string, it will create a new instance (like CreateObject()
I'm putting together a desktop application in TideSDK and am having some trouble finding the parameters passed to the application via a custom launch URL.
The application launches when the appropriate protocol is invoked (call it aaa://), but I haven't been able to figure out how to grab the URL string. I read a couple of threads that suggested I could get the string with the Ti.API.application.getArguments() call, but it returns something odd (see below).
// launch application with aaa://some_args_here
var args = Ti.API.application.getArguments();
// returns (StaticBoundList) [ /path/to/app, "-psn_0_721072", ]
I'm not completely surprised that this doesn't seem to work, as the API documentation says the getArguments method returns a list of command line arguments.
Any insight as to how to access the launch URL would be appreciated!
have a look at window.location.search
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/window.location
It doesn't appear that there's currently an "official" way to do this, so I came up with my own solution that seems to work pretty well (though currently its only implemented for OSX).
Searching through the TideSDK source, I found the place where the native application delegate is created. I added a URL launch handler in the app delegate, which stores the launch URL in a new app delegate member, and connected it to the API with a binding in Ti.UI.
If anybody else is interested in this functionality, or have insights as to how to accomplish this task for Windows, please get in touch!
Although I don't have your problem, just want to say the following function works fine for me.
var args = Ti.API.application.getArguments();
is it possible this is the problem of the urlprotocl registry?
my url protocol is set by this : MSDN
thus the value in "Command" is
"C:\YOUR_APP_FOLDER\YOURAPP.exe" "%1"
tested on win7 and winxp,
both successfully get the arguments.
Recently, I have been working on a CredentialProvider in order to unlock automatically (the trigger can be any event, so let’s say the end of a timer) a Windows Vista (or more recent version) user session.
For that I read some useful articles on the subject, the change between GINA and this new architecture. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163489.aspx.
I think, like everyone in the process of creating a custom CredentialProvider, I didn’t start from scratch but from the sample code provided by Microsoft. And then I tried to change the behaviour (things like logging) in the different functions.
So in the end I can use the custom CredentialProvider, enter the SetUsageScenario methods but still I cannot reach the Set or GetSerialization method. From what I’ve understood in the technical documentation on CredentialProvider (still provided by Microsoft) theses two methods should be called automatically. Is there something I missed ?
Also, my original idea was to get an authentication package using Kerberos in order to perform an implicit user authentication. I got this idea by seeking information on other SO or MSDN threads like
Is this approach the good one ?
Thank you very much for your time answering my questions. Any clarifications are welcomed, even if they don’t directly resolve my problems :-)
First of all - you need to set autologon flag to true in your implementation of the ICredentialProviderCredential::SetSelected(BOOL *pbAutoLogon) and ICredentialProvider::GetCredentialCount methods.
Next, you need to call ICredentialProviderEvents::CredentialsChanged when your timer is hit.
LogonUI will recreate your credentials, and because autologon is set to true it will call your GetSerialization() method.
SetSerialization and GetSerialization functions are called from your provider by LogonUI. After user enters username/password and presses ENTER button, LogonUI calls GetSerialization function and provides a pointer, as one of the four parameters, that will point in future to CREDENTIAL_PROVIDER_CREDENTIAL_SERIALIZATION structure created and filled by you, and then this structure will be sent from LogonUI to Winlogon to perform authentication. I don't know how to make LogonUI to call GetSerialization from your credential provider code and as far as I know you can't call GetSerialization by your own because where will you pass your filled CREDENTIAL_PROVIDER_CREDENTIAL_SERIALIZATION structure if no one requested it, but only LogonUI can path it to Winlogon?
There is a document called "Credential Provider Technical Reference", there you can read some details about credential providers. In the Shell samples folder there is a strange folder called "Autologon", maybe it will help you! Good Luck!
I have a launcher app that starts another app. For the other App to play nicely with Windows 7's taskbars, I have to set the Application User Model ID.
Usually a process has to set this id for itself, by calling SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID(), but in this specific case I do not have control about the other apps startup code, so I have to set this externally, at best by using some kind of ShellExecute which passes the ID to the app.
Is this possible?
Windows will auto generate a id for the process if it does not call SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID, this should be enough for the recent files jumplist section.
If you for whatever reason really want to set a specific id for a 3rd party app, I would try one of these (I have not tried any of these suggestions)
use SHGetPropertyStoreForWindow on the apps window (I have never tried to set the id like this, but I know you can read the id of another process this way)
Create a temporary shortcut that launches the app with a specific id
Inject into the process and call SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID
