Please i want to run this code as admin how would i do it in visual c++
System(String::Format("net user {0} {1}", this->username->Text, this->password->Text));

this is a command line issue not exactly a C++ issue...

Cant c++ just start it up with higher priviledges? Like force it to start as admin?

I do not think windows has an api for that. consider this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10906072/asking-for-administrator-privileges-in-mfc-application-only-when-it-is-needed

Thanks lordzouga but do u know i can use ShellExecuteEx(); and if possible hide the commandline but get the values in it

Or pls is there another way to get this done

I do not know about hiding the command line on windows.. am more of a linux systems person.
what you are looking for is an IPC(inter process communication) method.
on linux, you can use pipes, fifo structures or sockets.
research on windows, they should have similar implementations of above concepts..

Thanks for the help pipes it is

I suppose you are logging into a certain service?
you probably want confirmation if the logon process was successful.
use a file based ipc method in communicating with the shell. this is a bit crude but it works.

create a batch script that executes your command for you. the code in the batch script should just write a certain text to pre-specified file when login fails or succeeds.
your program should monitor the specified file for changes.

call_to_shell()
if(file_changed){
string state = read_file(file.txt)
if(state == " true"
{login = true }
else
{ login = false}

}else™{
timeout()
}

I hope you get what I mean

I like the idea but the command does not work if not run as admin

netesy: I like the idea but the command does not work if not run as admin

but the main program itself can be run with admin privileges? such that when the shell process is invoked by the program, it inherits the privileges. isthat not how it works with windows?

That did not work and please how can i make randow numbers ?
Int numb = 300;
Srand(time());
int num = rand();
for(int i=1, i < numb; i++){
cout << num;
} is giving me the same value it nt changing

Int numb = 300;
Srand(time());
int num = rand();
for(int i=1, i < numb; i++){
cout << num<<endl;
} is giving me the same value it nt changing please how can i seed it well as the time used is the same the values is the same , i would like each line with a different value

you called rand() once. outside the loop. it should be called anytime you want a random number.

Example please

lordZOUGA:
you called rand() once. outside the loop. it should be called anytime you want a random number.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

int get_rand_range(int y){
    return rand() % (y + 1);
}
int main()
{
    srand(time(NULL));
    cout << "15 random numbers within 0 - 5. (5 inclusive)" << endl;
    for(int i = 0; i < 15; i++)
    {
        cout << get_rand_range(5) << " ";
    }
    cout << endl;
    return 0;
}

I called the random number function within the loop

Thanks now nepa i need light
