Follow-up: I did get this working by just increasing the answer time-out and by retrying the first call to the client - so its all good under W7 B.7000.

<bump>
Just want to make sure its a known issue and not something i'm doing wrong or neglecting to do. I understand Vista64 isn't fully supported by madCodeHook yet - but is IPC supposed to work or not?

IPC and Vista64

Is IPC supposed to work in Vista64 now? It seems to work just fine in XP64 and Vista32, but hangs in Vista64.

So just to confirm, there would be no problem with

Code: Select all

SendIPCMessage(PChar(ClName), PChar(TextMsg), Length(TextMsg)+1))
if a queue named ClName did not exist?

Thanks, but that didn't work either; fine under XP but doesn't work under Vista B2 x86. It may be something not directly related though - B2 introduces strict UAC, session isolation and driver signing, all of which I have to circumvent. Next week I'll set up something simple and retest. One question...

I hear you. It could very well be something in my code, and if not I'm sure it is something easily fixable. (I was able to get IPC via memory mapped files working just by forcing Global on all named objects.)

IPC with Vista 5384+

Anyone had any succcess circumventing session isolation with the IPC in madcodehook? Are the objects created prefaced with Global? I don't seem to be able to communicate from my non-interactive service with any user apps. Works fine in XP, but not in Vista. I have tried both the official release and...

Re: IPC broadcasting

Ok, about the (1) problem: What exactly happens if IPC fails for you? Do messages get lost? Does the IPC logic break down completely (no messages come through, anymore)? Do you get crashes? Or blue screens? Some more details would be helpful. Nothing bad happens. The IPC messages get sent by the se...

IPC broadcasting

I have a service that wants to communicate via SendIpcMessage() to other desktops. This works just fine as long as only one user is logged in, but it is defeated by fast user switching. Service starts User1 logs in No problems communicating via SendIpcMessage User2 logs in Service is still communica...

Thanks for the idea, but I've been down that road already. So I wonder if it is would be possible and suffice to hook the EnumDisplaySettings() API call and modify the result, adding more devmodes? Probably this is already too late. EnumDisplayModes() is how applications get a list of display modes ...

Thanks for the quick reply. That doesn't help, but I'm not surprised. I'm programming the graphics card to a "non-standard" resolution, and I was looking for a way to get Windows to use the resolution. Right now, e.g., if I program the hardware to 1032x776, I just end up with 1024x768 and ...

iDisplayModes question

I've just started checking out madCollection, working thru some of the examples, and am pretty impressed. :) A question on iDisplayModes: the example works fine on the primary "monitor", but the interface doesn't seem to permit enumeration of other "monitors" (in a multimonitor a...
