program's executions

[xlordt]

Is it possiable for me to create a program that once the user clicks on the x (you know top right corner of every programm)
and the programm close's for it to execute agian? untill the required input is inserted in to the programm? cause im tring to create a password protection for some of my progs

How about not closing it if the X is pressed? Reset the fields instead or whatever you want to do.
It is the WM_CLOSE message, but you probably knew that.

In MFC you can override virtual void CWnd::OnCancel(); and as Magos said, handle the WM_CLOSE message.
The way I normally do this is:

// header
public:
  virtual void OnCancel() { OnClose(); }

// implementation
void CDlg::OnClose() {
  // do stuff here and don't call the next line
  // if you don't want the dialog to close

  CDialog::EndDialog(IDCANCEL);
}

err hehe sorry.. but im kinda new on c.. i was learning php and its a bit simular.. but... see im tring to put something like that in to something like this...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main( ){
  char password[] = "admin";
  int times;
  char *fp;
  
  for(times=1; times<=3; times++){
  
     printf("Please enter password to proceed\n");
     scanf("%s",password);
    
  if(!strcmp(password,"admin") == 0 || !strcmp(password,"admin") == NULL){
   printf("\tWrong password\n", password, system("cls"));
   getch();
   
 }else{

       printf("\tBoom Your Dead\n", password, times, system("cls"));
       getch();
       return 0;   
       }
  } 
}

I still dont get what you mean.. is there a tut on this someware that i can go and read on it.. thanx

I see...
Well, AFAIK there is no way to handle such console events. What we were talking about was the Win API. You're doing a console application, and that window isn't exactly part of your program, it's only a tool for running console applications.

Oh see im tring to create this password prog so no one else can get in to my system hehe.. anyways.. any suggestions?

[LuckY]

Suggestions? Yeah. Do it with a win32 app. : )

I may be missing something here, but how does that stop someone from doing something else? You just Alt-Tab. Or is this pure DOS?

Just disable the X button in the VB form properties.

VB? This is a C forum...

Also, since he uses printf I believe he's doing a console app.

Hate to break it to you but you'd also have to intercept ctrl alt delete.

BTW, this can be blocked.
