Correct passing struct to FindText function using PInvoke - c#

I am using this code to call FindText function (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646918.aspx) from Comdlg32.dll:
delegate IntPtr FRHookProc(IntPtr hdlg, uint uiMsg, IntPtr wParam,
IntPtr lParam);
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
struct FINDREPLACE
{
public uint lStructSize;
public IntPtr hwndOwner;
public IntPtr hInstance;
public uint Flags;
public IntPtr lpstrFindWhat;
public IntPtr lpstrReplaceWith;
public ushort wFindWhatLen;
public ushort wReplaceWithLen;
public IntPtr lCustData;
public FRHookProc lpfnHook;
public IntPtr lpTemplateName;
}
[DllImport("comdlg32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
static extern IntPtr FindText(ref FINDREPLACE lpfr);
public void SearchText(string text)
{
try
{
_lpfrStruct.hwndOwner = _windowHandle;
_lpfrStruct.lpstrFindWhat = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(text);
_lpfrStruct.wFindWhatLen = (ushort)text.Length;
//_lpfrStruct.lStructSize = (uint)Marshal.SizeOf(_lpfrStruct);
_ptrFindTextHandle = FindText(ref _lpfrStruct);
if(_ptrFindTextHandle == IntPtr.Zero)
{
int error = CommDlgExtendedError();
Debug.WriteLine("[VI] Cannot create FindText dialog, error: " + error.ToString());
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
}
}
I suppose the line //_lpfrStruct.lStructSize = (uint)Marshal.SizeOf(_lpfrStruct); is an issue
If commented out the CommDlgExtendedError returns 1 (CDERR_STRUCTSIZE = 0x0001 - The lStructSize member of the initialization structure for the corresponding common dialog box is invalid.) when I keep it I get an Exception (writing to protected memory).

Create .cat file with C#

I'm trying to import and use CryptCATCDFEnumMembersByCDFTagEx in order to create .cat files using C#. The function is returning null and the parameters do not seem to be initialized. I wrote the corresponding code in C++ and that works fine. I'm guessing my structures are off.
Any help would be appreciated. The code should create a Good.cat file in the working directory of the program, which should contain the hashes of the files specified below [CatalogFiles].

How to find message only window in C# by using FindWindowEx?

I think I've searched all of related topics on this planet by using Chinese and English but cannot find the solution.
I've created one message only window to receive and process the data from WM_COPYDATA, but I cannot find the window in send side, below is demo (WPF of C#):
Receive:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
private readonly IntPtr sourceHandle;
private const int WM_COPYDATA = 0x004A;
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct CopyDataStruct
{
public IntPtr dwData;
public int cbData;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)]
public string lpData;
}
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
sourceHandle = this.CreateMessageOnlyWindow();
this.btnReceive.Content = sourceHandle;
}
private IntPtr CreateMessageOnlyWindow()
{
IntPtr HWND_MESSAGE = new IntPtr(-3);
HwndSourceParameters sourceParam = new HwndSourceParameters() { ParentWindow = HWND_MESSAGE };
var source = new HwndSource(sourceParam);
source.AddHook(WndProc);
return source.Handle;
}
private IntPtr WndProc(IntPtr hwnd, int msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam, ref bool handled)
{
if (msg == WM_COPYDATA)
{
MessageBox.Show(lparam.ToInt32().ToString());
handled = true;
return new IntPtr(20);
}
return IntPtr.Zero;
}
}
Send:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
IntPtr WM_COPYDATA = new IntPtr(0x004A);
IntPtr HWND_MESSAGE = new IntPtr(-3);
[DllImport("User32.dll")]
public static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hwnd, IntPtr msg, IntPtr wParam, ref COPYDATASTRUCT IParam);
[DllImport("User32.dll")]
public static extern IntPtr FindWindowEx(IntPtr hwndParent, IntPtr hwndChildAfter, string lpszClass, string lpszWindow);
public struct COPYDATASTRUCT
{
public IntPtr dwData;
public int cData;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)]
public string lpData;
}
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void BtnSend_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//Here cannot find the target message only window in receiving
IntPtr WINDOW_HANDLE = FindWindowEx(HWND_MESSAGE, IntPtr.Zero, null, null);
if (WINDOW_HANDLE != IntPtr.Zero)
{
byte[] arr = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(txtMessage.Text);
int len = arr.Length;
COPYDATASTRUCT cdata;
cdata.dwData = (IntPtr)100;
cdata.lpData = txtMessage.Text;
cdata.cData = len + 1;
SendMessage(WINDOW_HANDLE, WM_COPYDATA, IntPtr.Zero, ref cdata);
}
}
}
BtnSend_Click method in Send, cannot find the right window handle here, could someone in this pallet can help?
PS: I should describe my requirement first: I want to create a windows service in C#, which is receiver and deal with the data from WM_COPYDATA, so I think message only window is necessary because there is NO window in windows service.
So in Sender, I need to find this message only window to pass the window handle into SendMessage at first, here is the point.
Thanks guys

EnumJobs returning a different JOB_INFO_1 size than Marshal.SizeOF

I'm calling the Win32 function EnumJobs (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd162625(v=vs.85).aspx) from managed code (C#).
[DllImport("Winspool.drv", SetLastError = true, EntryPoint = "EnumJobsA")]
public static extern bool EnumJobs(
IntPtr hPrinter, // handle to printer object
UInt32 FirstJob, // index of first job
UInt32 NoJobs, // number of jobs to enumerate
UInt32 Level, // information level
IntPtr pJob, // job information buffer
UInt32 cbBuf, // size of job information buffer
out UInt32 pcbNeeded, // bytes received or required
out UInt32 pcReturned // number of jobs received
);
EnumJobs(_printerHandle, 0, 99, 1, IntPtr.Zero, 0, out nBytesNeeded, out pcReturned);
I'm specifying Level 1 to receive a JOB_INFO_1 but the problem I'm having is the above function is returning nBytesNeeded as 240 per struct while the Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(JOB_INFO_1)) is 64 bytes causing a memory exception when I run Marshal.PtrToStructure. Counting the bytes manually for the struct gives 64 so I'm at a bit of a loss as to why I'm receiving the 240 byte structures from function, any insight would be appreciated.
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 1, CharSet=CharSet.Unicode)]
public struct JOB_INFO_1
{
public UInt32 JobId;
public string pPrinterName;
public string pMachineName;
public string pUserName;
public string pDocument;
public string pDatatype;
public string pStatus;
public UInt32 Status;
public UInt32 Priority;
public UInt32 Position;
public UInt32 TotalPages;
public UInt32 PagesPrinted;
public SYSTEMTIME Submitted;
}
The size of 64 is indeed correct for JOB_INFO_1 but if you look closely at the documentation, it talks about an array of structs :
pJob [out]
A pointer to a buffer that receives an array of JOB_INFO_1, JOB_INFO_2, or JOB_INFO_3 structures.
Additionally it is written :
The buffer must be large enough to receive the array of structures and any strings or other data to which the structure members point.
So there are bytes here for extra data beside the structs themselves.
Solution:
Populate the structs, increment pointer for next struct and ignore the remaining bytes.
Complete example:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Windows;
namespace WpfApplication3
{
public partial class MainWindow

const uint level = 1u;
// Get byte size required for the function

Debug.Assert(b2);
var jobInfos = new JOB_INFO_1W[structsCopied];
int sizeOf = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof (JOB_INFO_1W));
IntPtr pStruct = pJob;
for (int i = 0; i < structsCopied; i++)
{
var jobInfo_1W = (JOB_INFO_1W) Marshal.PtrToStructure(pStruct, typeof (JOB_INFO_1W));
jobInfos[i] = jobInfo_1W;
pStruct += sizeOf;
}
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(pJob);
// do something with your structs

}
Result:
Job 1:
Job 2 :
EDIT
It seems that you will have to get a little more robust checking than I did, because EnumJobs seems to return true when there are no jobs in queue. In the case of my example the assertion will fail but that won't mean that the code is wrong; just make sure that you have some jobs in the queue for the purpose of testing the function.

Message loop is blocking application

I need to close a download popup in web browser control (disallow user to downloading file).
How i can achieve this?
I found this:
How to block downloads in .NET WebBrowser control?
And i used second answer. It's working but i have problem with it. It's seems that calling GetText of the created object is blocking a whole thread. I don't have any solution for it.
private static void WinEventProc(IntPtr hWinEventHook, uint eventType, IntPtr hwnd, int idObject, int idChild, uint dwEventThread, uint dwmsEventTime)
{
if (idObject == 0 && idChild == 0)
{
if(eventType == EVENT_OBJECT_CREATE)
{
string text = GetText(hwnd);
if (text.Contains("File Download"))
SendMessage(hwnd, 0x0010, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero); //close window
}
}
}
public static string GetText(IntPtr hWnd)
{
int length = GetWindowTextLength(hWnd); //my app is freezing here - i think it's because i'm calling it from message loop.
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(length + 1);
GetWindowText(hWnd, sb, sb.Capacity);
return sb.ToString();
}
//edit
Ok, thanks #sgorozco for suggestion. Now i'm using SetWindowsHookEx and WH_CBT. Then in message loop i'm catching HCBT_CREATEWND events. But i have problem with getting CBT_CREATEWND from lparm. I'm getting "Managed Debugging Assistant 'FatalExecutionEngineError'" exception.
Here is my current code:
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public struct CREATESTRUCT
{
public IntPtr lpCreateParams;
public IntPtr hInstance;
public IntPtr hMenu;
public IntPtr hwndParent;
public int cy;
public int cx;
public int y;
public int x;
public int style;
public string lpszName;
public string lpszClass;
public int dwExStyle;
}
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public struct CBT_CREATEWND
{
public IntPtr lpcs;
public IntPtr hwndInsertAfter;
}
private static IntPtr MessageLoopFuctnion(int code, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)
{
if (code < 0)
{
return CallNextHookEx(IntPtr.Zero, code, wParam, lParam);
}
if(code == 3)
{
CBT_CREATEWND info;
info = (CBT_CREATEWND)Marshal.PtrToStructure(lParam, typeof(CBT_CREATEWND));
CREATESTRUCT info1;
info1 = (CREATESTRUCT)Marshal.PtrToStructure(info.lpcs, typeof(CREATESTRUCT)); //here exception is throwing
if (info1.lpszName != null && info1.lpszName.Contains("File Download")))
SendMessage(wParam, 0x0010, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero); //close popup
//Marshal.FreeHGlobal(info.lpcs); //error, why?
//Marshal.FreeHGlobal((IntPtr)lParam.ToUInt64());
}
return CallNextHookEx(IntPtr.Zero, code, wParam, lParam);
}
//set hook
IntPtr hWinEventHook = SetWindowsHookEx(5, myCallbackDelegate, user32DLL, 0);
//edit 2
Here are my definitions:
private delegate IntPtr HookProc(int code, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
private static HookProc myCallbackDelegate = new HookProc(MessageLoopFuctnion);
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr SetWindowsHookEx(int hookType, HookProc lpfn, IntPtr hMod, uint dwThreadId);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr CallNextHookEx(IntPtr hhk, int nCode, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
My myCallbackDelegate is a static field so it's not GC collected for sure.
Temporary i'm enumerating all windows every 500ms and look for dialog which contains text "File Download". But it is an ugly solution.
The reason for the FatalExecutionEngineError are the strings in CREATESTRUCT. Replace these with a IntPtr and you will get no exception.
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct CREATESTRUCT {
public IntPtr lpCreateParams;
public IntPtr hInstance;
public IntPtr hMenu;
public IntPtr hwndParent;
public int cy;
public int cx;
public int y;
public int x;
public int style;
public IntPtr lpszName;
public IntPtr lpszClass;
public int dwExStyle;
}
(Maybe you can use GetClassName and GetWindowText instead as workaround. not tested)

C# and partially working SendMessage?

I've tried to send text messages to various applications in Windows 7 (eg. Notepad++, Notepad etc.). SendMessage is working fine for Notepad but not for Notepad++.
If i'm sending text to Notepad everything appears fine, whole text and i'm getting 1 as return from SendMessage method. But for Notepad++ only first letter appears and method SendMessage is returning 0, however Marshal.GetLastWin32Error() is not returning any error (result 0)?
Here's the code:
GUITHREADINFO gti = new GUITHREADINFO();
IntPtr hWnd = GetForegroundWindow();
uint processId;
uint activeThreadId = GetWindowThreadProcessId(hWnd, out processId);
if (GetInfo(activeThreadId, out gti))
{
int EM_REPLACESEL = 0x00C2;
int error = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
int result = SendMessageW(gti.hwndCaret, EM_REPLACESEL, -1, passed);//3rd param doesn't change anything
error = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
}
WinAPI functions and GetInfo method as long with required structures are defined as:
[DllImport("User32.dll", EntryPoint = "SendMessageW", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
public static extern int SendMessageW(IntPtr hWnd, int uMsg, int wParam, string lParam);
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr GetForegroundWindow();
[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern uint GetWindowThreadProcessId(IntPtr hWnd, out uint lpdwProcessId);
//"Borrowed" code
public static bool GetInfo(uint hwnd, out GUITHREADINFO lpgui)
{
uint lpdwProcessId;
uint threadId = GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, out lpdwProcessId);
lpgui = new GUITHREADINFO();
lpgui.cbSize = Marshal.SizeOf(lpgui);
return GetGUIThreadInfo(threadId, ref lpgui);
}
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct RECT
{
public int iLeft;
public int iTop;
public int iRight;
public int iBottom;
}
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct GUITHREADINFO
{
public int cbSize;
public int flags;
public IntPtr hwndActive;
public IntPtr hwndFocus;
public IntPtr hwndCapture;
public IntPtr hwndMenuOwner;
public IntPtr hwndMoveSize;
public IntPtr hwndCaret;
public RECT rectCaret;
}
So well i wonder what should i do to fix it so it would work (fully) for all windows not only for edit control in Notepad?
