I''ve commited code for win32-etc 0.2.2, which adds the configure_user and configure_group methods. Testing appreciated. On my home system, I can''t get configure_user to work, but I haven''t any real idea why it fails. The configure_group method seems to work fine, however.

For future reference, it looks like we should avoid DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES in any extensions. http://weblogs.asp.net/oldnewthing/archive/2005/02/14/372266.aspx Regards, Dan

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

I just tried running tc_mmap.rb and noticed that something rather curious seems to happen. The call to Mmap.new in setup seems to cause the test suite to just exit without ever actually running the tests. I reduced the test suite to just this bit of code. This works, although the final test (TypeError) does not pass - no exception in thrown. This is 1.8.1 on Win2k. Any ideas? Dan PS - I

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

Dan, I am assuming that the version in CVS is the most current one.

Hi all, I committed win32-driveinfo 0.1.0 to CVS. What is it? =========== A class for getting information of drives Synopsis ======== include Win32::DriveInfo (sectorsPerCluster, bytesPerSector, numberOfFreeClusters, totalNumberOfClusters, freeBytesAvailableToCaller, totalNumberOfBytes, totalNumberOfFreeBytes) = getDriveSpace(''c'').to_a

Hi all, Any ideas for the question below? I know how to do this in theory - make the ''inherit'' flag true, and set the ''stdout'' and ''stderr'' startf_flags hash options to something in the startup_info hash, but I wasn''t sure how to do this in practice. It would be nice if the answer could be something like this: require

Hi all, I''ve been going over the chapters on RDOC and gems lately. I think we should probably work on making the code in Win32Utils "rdoc" friendly. I''ve started doing this with ''win32-ipc'' as an experiment. This probably means some directory reorganization, because I think gems looks for extensions in an ''ext'' directory, whereas

Hi all, Just looking over fole_s_connect() in win32ole.c and I noticed this bit: hr = CLSIDFromProgID(pBuf, &clsid); ... hr = GetActiveObject(&clsid, 0, &pUnknown); ... hr = pUnknown->lpVtbl->QueryInterface( pUnknown, &IID_IDispatch, (void **)&pDispatch ); Using win32-api, that would be something like: IID_IUnknown =

Hi all, I''ve got the latest win32-mmap code checked into CVS. Unfortunately, it seems that I''m not able to open an existing mapping and retrieve set data. Below is a simple example that seems like it ought to work but doesn''t. Any ideas? # map1.rb require ''win32/mmap'' include Win32 mmap = MMap.new(:name => ''alpha'', :size

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

Hi all, How does this look as a general approach to a SID.create method: # Creates and initializes def self.create(authority, *sub_authorities) if sub_authorities.length > 8 raise ArgumentError, ''maximum of 8 subauthorities allowed'' end authorities = Array.new(8, 0) authorities.replace(sub_authorities) count = authorities.select{ |e| e > 0 }.size

Hi all, I''ve logged a new bug for win32-eventlog based on Joey Gibson''s ruby talk post (116528). Park, I''ve assigned it to you for now, figuring that you''re probably the one who best knows how to fix it. All help welcome. Dan

Hi all, I''ve been working on the win32-pipe library (again) and I''ve reworked the interface. Instead of Pipe.new_server or Pipe.new_client, there''s now a base Pipe class, with Pipe::Server and Pipe::Client subclasses. You can find the latest code in the CVS repo. Oh, and you''ll need to update your windows-pr library with the latest from CVS if you want to

Hi all, I know it''s deprecated, but people seem to still be using win32-changenotify, so I thought I''d see if I could make it pure Ruby. Also, I thought it would be a good opportunity to test passing a custom Win32::Event object. I''m mostly done I think, but I''m having trouble unraveling the FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION struct buffer.
