not always receiving WM_DEVICECHANGE-DBT_DEVICEARRIV AL

Hi guys,

I have a weird problem.
I wrote an application that has 2 UI threads both windows
are top-level. When I insert my USB disk on key into
computer I receive several WM_DEVICECHANGE which are sent
trough PostMessage and WM_DEVICECHANGE with wParam set to
DBT_DEVICEARRIV AL and this one is sent to me through
SendMessage(by windows) I checked this through Spy++(I
don't know why last one is sent through SendMessage). The
intention of program is to write that it detected
insertation of USB disk on key and it works fine, BUT if
main UI thread is in state that it doesn't pump its
message queue some kind of long processing, and I insert
USB disk on key into the computer , the second UI thread
that DOES pump messages gets several WM_DEVICECHANGE
notification but it NEVER receives the one with wParam
DBT_DEVICEARRIV AL. This happens as I mentioned only when
the main thread is in some busywait state but second UI
thread is also top level windows so I don't see any reason
I don't get DBT_DEVICEARRIV AL.

Thanks in advance

All, In regards to the call below, I was wondering why is it that the 'szMessage' receiving buffer results in an empty one, but by printing 'ret' it indicates the number of bytes I am indeed receiving! int ret = recvfrom(receivingSocket,szMessage,sizeof(szMessage),0,sockaddr*)&addr_Cli, &clilen); Any ideas?

Hi I have a small program listening to UDP broadcast datagrams that are periodically sent out. It will stop listening for a certain period if either a sufficient number of packets has been received (this is triggered from a class not in the sample code), or if there has been no data on the net for a certain period. During the time where I don't want any packets, I set my socket receive buffer size to zero. The problem is, when I used...

I'm trying to implement some pretty basic behavior in c#/.net 1.1 Forms but can't seem to find all the requisite pieces. When a user clicks on the background of the form, I want the app to start receiving MouseMove updates -- whether the pointer is over the form or not (this being the crucial part) -- until the next MouseDown. It's easy to receive MouseMove events while the pointer is over the form but not when the pointer leaves. (Forms...

Hi, I've established a TCP-Socket Connection and now I want to receive datas. So I called BeginReceive where I set the receiving buffer and length. Now in the asynchronous CallBack-Function I call EndReceive and get the length of rceived datas. After receiving datas I call the Beginreceive-Function again. So my question is now what is if the send datas is greater than the receiving buffer? Ok, I know, I will get it in the next...

I'm writing a utility that needs to be aware of media (CD, DVD, Zip disk, usb stick, etc) insertions and removals. Which seems to be more of a problem than I original imagined. I can't use any auto-run features because this is actually running on Windows XP Embedded... so that's the first thing to be aware of. Using WM_DEVICECHANGE works about half the time...that is, it works when a DVD or CD is inserted, but it does not work for Zip...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...
