Hi

I am wondering whether anyone knows a convenient way to translate a hex value passed as flags in a win32 api call, into a list of properly named flags. I know they are defined in the corresponding header file, but i don't quite know the correct way to decipher this stuff.
Example: 40h passed as dwFlags in a call to HttpOpenRequest.

Best regards,

Lasse

u will see in definition:
SOMTH equ 00000040h

then u can do
test VALUE 00000040h | jne yesThisFlagIs

Hello lborup,

evaluator is right just check your wininet.h defines and you'll see:

#define INTERNET_FLAG_FORMS_SUBMIT 0x00000040 // this is a forms submit

Which indicates that this is a Forms submission.

You should know that it is possible to "or" flags together, for example:

#define INTERNET_FLAG_NO_UI 0x00000200 // no cookie popup
#define INTERNET_FLAG_PRAGMA_NOCACHE 0x00000100 // asking wininet to add

could be passed along together in dwflags as 0x200 | 0x100 = 0x300

Hope it helps.

Thanks. I was just puzzled since the function description at MSDN had a list of possible flags which didn't include the on corresponding to 00000040h...

IDA Pro can do this for you, simply right-click the constant, and there should be a context menu entry for it (whose exact name I cannot remember at the moment).

Even better... Thanks
