Dan, I am assuming that the version in CVS is the most current one. Report follows. -- shanko ------------------------------------------------------ C:\win32utils\win32-service\test>ruby tc_service.rb This test will stop and start your Clipboard service, as well as pause and resume your Schedule service. This is harmless unless you are actually using these services at the moment you

Hi, I''ve released win32-changenotify 0.3.0 today. Take a look. Park and I have discussed a Ruby interface to change journals a little bit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/creating_modifying_and_deleting_a_change_journal.asp Park, would you like to do this, or did you want me to? I wasn''t sure from your RubyForge post. Also, do

Hi all, The topic of creating a unified API for open3 for Windows came up at RubyConf 2004 this year. Park, I was wondering if you would mind if we modified win32_popen so that the API matches the open3 library that ships with Ruby. This also means deciding whether or not to leave in the open2, open4, and posix stuff. I guess it doesn''t hurt to leave this in, although Open3.open4

Is there anything in the utils to capture a screen ( or maybe just a window) and save to a file. I have this, but I have no idea where it came from, but it gives a corrupted image Paul # -*- ruby -*- # screen capture -- # This script runs with a Ruby/DL which is included in ruby-1.7. require ''dl/import'' module ScreenCapture extend DL::Importable dlload

Hi all, Well, what''s in CVS at the moment is what I''m planning on releasing tomorrow, unless anyone has any objection. Please test, check out the docs, etc. Let me know if there''s anything fatal I''m missing. Regards, Dan

Hi all, I''m trying to build a gemspec for win32-ipc, using a precompiled binary. Here''s my gemspec file: #win32-ipc.gemspec require "rubygems" spec = Gem::Specification.new do |s| s.name = "win32-ipc" s.version = "0.3.1" s.platform = Gem::Platform::WIN32 s.summary = "A base class for Win32 synchronization objects."

Hi all, Dave Burt mentioned the possibility of adding symlinks to the Dir class. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction There is also Autrijus Tang''s symlink Perl module at http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/Win32-Symlink-0.04/ Looks easy enough, but it only seems to work for directories, not regular files. Should we add this to the Directory class, or simply

Hi all, In light of Curt''s decision to use VC++ 6 to build the latest one click installer, along with what are undoubtedly future compatibility problems between old and new compilers, I think it''s best if we try to move over the simpler packages to a pure Ruby solution using Win32API. I have started that process by releasing pure Ruby versions of win32-clipboard and

I was wondering if people would be interested in wrapping msi.dll functionality, I''ve started writing a small library to enable enumeration of products installed via Windows Installer using win32api (I know I can also query via win32ole to win32_product but I don''t seem to get all the properties that are in msi.h). It''s a little messy, and I''ve not got far as

Hi all, Windows XP Pro Ruby 1.8.2 I''m having a couple of problems with the following service. The first issue is that the code in service_start doesn''t seem to fire off. The second problem is that any attempt to do ''require "webrick"'' within webrick_daemon.rb causes the service to fail on start. Any ideas? # webrickctl.rb

Hi all, I noticed Autrijus Tang released a Win32::Symlink Perl module. Looking at the source, it appears that he''s borrowed some code from Tcl and Postgres. Perhaps we should steal that. What do you think? Dan

Hi All, I am working on this bug report by Martin. I am surprised that this has gone unnoticed for so long. Can we do something to catch such omissions in the test/unit modules? -- Shashank Shashank Date wrote: > Martin DeMello wrote: > >> The win32utils installer (from >> http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=85&release_id=1233) only seems to >> install the .so

Well, I''m going to release the first version of win32-taskscheduler today. For now, I''ve kept the API about the same as it originally was because I was spending way too much time futzing around and I wanted to get something out the door. For now, I''m calling this a BETA release, with the API subject to change. See the ''Future Plans'' section of

Hi wxRuby gurus, I remember a while back, Zach Dennis was working on a mini Spreadsheet app using wxGrid when the issue of lack of wxGrid event handling was discussed. I think Kevin (or Assaph?) had suggested some workarounds until the Swig based version is out. Could not figure out from the archives exactly what the final resolution was, but I am stuck at the same spot and am desperately in need

Hi all, I''m forwarding this message from Brian Marick. If you run this test script and then paste the results into a Unicode aware text editor, you''ll notice that it only prints one character instead of three. I tried changing the strlen to _tcslen and strcpy to _tcscpy, but that didn''t help. I mucked around a bit with the MultiByteToWideChar function, too, but
