Animate or show via notification icon when downloads are being redirected #2

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Currently it's a little hard to see without the Sysinternals tools whether the 
monitor app is really doing anything - given that there's a "downloading" 
indication in the Steam notification icon, some kind of matching overlay should 
probably be drawn on my garish placeholder.

Arguably there are several kinds of overlays to draw - one based on whether 
there is a download going to the "right" server, which is a state thing that 
could perhaps be determined by iterating over connections using the IPHelper 
APIs, and one which is a one-time "I did something" notification overlay.

The IPHelper stuff is probably best done by having the iteration done in the 
filter itself, just to keep the monitor lightweight (no point in having it load 
Winsock).

Note that IPHelper connection enumeration done via GetTcpTable2 or 
GetExtendedTcpTable - SetTcpRow can be used to force-close a connection from 
outside a process as administrator, but on Vista has UAC problems.
