Hi to theForcesOfCpp! I'm just wondering if there is any simple way to read
the serial number of an memory stick connected to an USB port? Something
like reading the vendor number of a hard disk... OS: Windows XPEnvironment:
Borland C++BuilderX Personal or MS Visual Studio 2005 ExpressAny help /
sample would be great...Thanx in advance,Joe

Nope. C++ _language_ has no definition of "serial number" or "USB 2.0
Memory Stick". You need to ask in a newsgroup that deals with your OS.

Hi Victor!
It seems like I didn't express myselft correctly. I am looking for a peace
of C++ code which reads out the serial number of an USB 2.0 memory stick. I
am not looking the simple things that I can read out from the windows
registry.
"My" OS is written as Windows Xp, because I will try to "play" with this
kind of code on Windows, and not on some Linux/Unix/Mac/Simbian/WhatEver...
Thanx anyway, hope that is clear what for I am tryin? to get help?

Accessing that level of hardware requires third-party APIs. There is no
support defined at the level of the ISO C++ language for such things. That
puts it outside the scope of this newsgroup, which only deals with what
can be done with the standard C++ language.
Each platform/OS is different. So in order to find out how to do what you
want on your particular platform, you need to ask in a newsgroup specific
to that platform.
Good luck!

Any sugesstions where could I ask this kind of question?? On which
newsgroup?
I know that this is something very, very specific, but I hope that some1 who
reads this group has any idea / any expirience in this kind of things...

Hi Joe!
It seems that I didn't help you understand the concept of topicality
correctly. This newsgroup discusses (and helps folks solve problems) with
C++ _language_ as defined in its International Standard. Since the C++
Standard does *not* have any reference to "USB" or "serial number", I am
afraid your problem cannot be solved in C++ terms. You need help from the
folks who know your OS (Windows XP or whatever) because you will _have_to_
use OS-specific means to get to whatever you "play" with, whether it is
achieved by calling a function or two from OS-specific API, or using some
kind of third-party library, or even using some extension to C++ provided
by your compiler.
Hope that is clear what I am trying to say?
Visit comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.win32 and ask there.

One of the many websites on USB programming might be useful. I find
google to be rather helpful with this sort of problem.

This question is off-topic here since it doesn't deal with the C++
language proper. Check the FAQ for what is on-topic here and for some
suggestions of newsgroups that would be a better fit: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lit...t.html#faq-5.9

Joe, answering an off-topic question here is even bigger violation of
netiquette than asking it. If somebody knows the answer, they will gladly
provide it in an appropriate newsgroup. If 'comp.os.ms-windows.*' that
I recommended doesn't work for you, try the hierarchy of newsgroups that
begins with 'microsoft.publ ic.win32.progra mmer.', and if you can't find
it on your ISP's list, connect to 'msnews.microso ft.com' server. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Given the following information about memory management in C++:
-----
The c-runtime dynamic memory manager (and most other commercial memory
managers) has issues with fragmentation similar to a hard drive file
system.
Over time, the more often use call new/delete or alloc/free, there
will be
gaps and fragments in the heap. This can lead to inefficient use of
available memory, as well as cache-hit inefficiencies.

I wrote an application where the user needs an USB memory
stick. When the user closes the program, some data is
written to the stick.
Can I write some code so my application is closing the
usb stick whithout an action of the user?
When I do not implement this, the user have to click on
an icon in the taskbar for removing the usb stick
safely. But i want to keep it simpel for the user ;)

Is there a way to 'install' and use Python on a memory stick, just as
you would on any computer? I use Windows, and I know the installation
does things with the registry, so probably I couldn't use the executable
file to install it. But is it possible to do it some other way, such as
how you might build it yourself on Linux (although I don't know how to
do that yet) and then just write and run scripts normally straight from
your memory...

I'm not 100% sure that this is an Access problem. A friend of mine has

However, last week he put his database onto a memory stick and brought

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
