I have ctypes version 0.9.6 and Python 2.4.2 running on Windows XP
Professional.
When I tried to use some functions in the Advapi32.dll, some functions
are available and some are not. Is this a bug or feature by design?
In the example below, I am trying to examine the
'InitiateSystem Shutdown' function which is from Advapi32.dll as
advertised by Microsoft http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...emshutdown.asp
Thanks,
P import ctypes advapi32 = ctypes.oledll.L oadLibrary('Adv api32.dll') advapi32.Initia teSystemShutdow n
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interacti ve input>", line 1, in ?
File "C:\Python24\li b\site-packages\ctypes \__init__.py", line 395, in
__getattr__
func = self._OlecallFu ncPtr(name, self)
AttributeError: function 'InitiateSystem Shutdown' not found

Most likely feature by design. What you see in documentation for C
library is not what your C code will actually use. For example when you
write errno in C (that looks like global variable access) it is
actually a call to __thread_safe_e rrno() function.
Have you tried calling InitiateSystemS hutdownA mentioned in the
documentation?

Thanks! This function exists. However,
advapi32.Initia teSystemShutdow nA("", 'This is a test', 30, 1, 1)
returns 0 though. I will need to play with it a bit more... This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi!
Has anyone been able to use LSA functions to grant or remove privileges
to/from users? I'm trying to find a way to programmatically set the "Deny
logon through Terminal Services" privilege for certain users. If someone has
a small example of how to use these functions from C# it would be very
helpful.
Thanks in advance

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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
