Hi all, I thought this was strange: ts = TaskScheduler.new ts.new_work_item(''foo'', trigger) p ts.status ts.save p ts.status # null pointer (ts_get_status) I noticed that in the ts_save function in taskscheduler.c we''re doing this at line 278: ptr->pITask->Release(); ptr->pITask = NULL; At first I thought this was a mistake but it looks like it''s

Hi, This library has needed some work for a while, so I''m finally getting around to it. I''ve made some changes and updates in CVS, so grab the latest source to test the issue below. The first issue I''d like to tackle is why the TaskScheduler#account_information (GetAccountInformation) method fails if there''s no user associated with a given task. The docs

Hi all, Windows 2000 Ruby 1.8.2 R7 VC++ 6.0 I noticed that if I try to call new_work_item and give the task a name that already exists, I get a segfault: C:\eclipse\workspace\win32-taskscheduler>ruby test.rb "0.1.0" test.rb:22:in `new_work_item'': NewWorkItem() function failed (Win32::TaskSchedul erError) from test.rb:22 test.rb:22: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby

Hi all, Thought I should say something - it''s been a little while. :) Anyway, I''m still futzing with how I want the Ruby API to look. The more I look at the Perl version, the more I think it was too faithful to the C API. Right now I''m looking at the trigger() method. For example, I don''t see any reason to make the "type" key take a hash as an

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

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 all, I think I would like to add the TaskScheduler#active? and TaskScheduler#exists? methods. I''m not sure how they should be implemented however. For TaskScheduler#exists? I suppose I could use the IEnumWorkItems and iterated over the list. Is there a better way? The TaskScheduler#active? would just tell me if a given task has been activated or not, but I''m not sure

Hi, I was going to modify the TaskScheduler#save method to take an optional file name. But, I need to convert a Ruby string to an OLE string. I thought I could use this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms692615(VS.85).aspx But, it only appears to accept literal string constants. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Dan

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

Dang, I thought we solved this. Any ideas? Dan PS - I realized after reading this I forgot to bump the version number for 0.3.3 - I''ve uploaded a new zip file with the correct version number. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...

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, 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''m trying to get the allocation size of a file via a file handle (rather than its name). The example below works for FileNameInformation but I can''t get it to work as expected for FileStandardInformation. Here''s some sample code: # query_test.rb require ''windows/handle'' require ''windows/error'' include Windows::Handle

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

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, This is odd. It looks to me like we have all 4 variations of memcpy set in Windows::MSVCRT::Buffer but somehow this one creeps up. I actually noticed it in a few cases with that earlier mmap sub/replace example, but I wasn''t sure what was happening. Note that windows-api 0.2.3 and windows-pr-0.8.3 are the latest versions in CVS, but this happens with windows-api-0.2.2 and

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
