Perhaps this should be better posted to DEV Forum but it seems to be dead, so I post it here.
Those who followed "Macro with Process container" thread know that there is some problem with Sch:PlaceProcessContainer process. More precisely - there is some problem with passing parameters to it.
I suggested to Eric Bobillier, that perhaps he should find another way of doing what he wants, but finally I decided to write a server that would create a Process Container. I treated it as an exercise - I had written 2 very simple servers before but they didn't read any parameters.
The server that creates Process Container is very simple, I limited the number of parameters passed to it to 5: PrecessName, InstanceName, Configuration, Location.X, Location.Y
Everything works fine except one thing: The Configuration parameter has to look like "Application=Notepad.exe" or "Color=255" so it includes "=" sign. And this sign is lost somewhere before it reaches my server.
I tried passing this parameter as a plain text, with quotation mark and with an apostrophe (quotation mark and apostrophe can be removed later).
When I type: Configuration=Application=Notepad.exe I get: ApplicationNotepad.exe
When I type: Configuration="Application=Notepad.exe" I get: "ApplicationNotepad.exe"
When I type: Configuration='Application=Notepad.exe' I get: 'ApplicationNotepad.exe'
So the Process Container is created and has proper process name, X and Y location and instance name but in any case the configuration field lacks the "=" sign.
I thought that this could be a problem with GetState_Parameter procedure but it's not - when I display a message containing "Parameters" variable, before I extract single parameters it shows without "=" mark already.
Anybody has an idea how to deal with this?
I know that this may be of little interest to the majority of PEDA forum so the continuation (if any) can be moved to DEV Forum or off-line
Thanks in advance, Wojciech Oborski
