CDHtmlDialog problem

Hi,

I have a CDHtmlDialog derived class that is causing me a problem. Every 3rd time I create an instance and call DoModal() I get an access violation occuring inside the CDHtmlDialog::OnInitDialog method and it is being caused by the m_wndBrowser member being NULL.

The problem occurs in this part of the method:

if (m_pBrowserApp == NULL)<br />
{<br />
	// create the control window<br />
	m_wndBrowser.CreateControl(CLSID_WebBrowser, NULL, WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD,<br />
					rectClient, this, AFX_IDC_BROWSER);<br />
	lpUnk = m_wndBrowser.GetControlUnknown();<br />
	if (FAILED(lpUnk->QueryInterface(IID_IWebBrowser2, (void**) &m_pBrowserApp)))<br />
	{<br />
		m_wndBrowser.DestroyWindow();<br />
		DestroyWindow();<br />
		return TRUE;<br />
	}<br />
}

The call to m_wndBrowser.CreateControl() fails causing the m_wndBrowser to be set to NULL.

I tried reusing one instance of my class and repeatedly calling DoModal() on the same object and the same thing happened. Can anyone suggest what might cause the create call to fail after two previous successful calls?

All help appreciated because this has been bugging me for a while now.
Thanks,
Ewan

Are you calling the base class OnInitDialog() before trying to use the m_wndBrowser ?
Also, I assume that the m_pBrowserApp variable is set back to NULL at appropriate times, so that your tests are valid.

The code I showed was from the base class implementation not from my code. I only included it to illustrate where the problem was occurring. I'm not touching any of the members of the CDHtmlDialog class. That's why I'm confused by what is happening because none of my code does anything other than call CDHtmlDialog::OnInitDialog().

This seems a bit strange.
If your code is encapsulated enough, can you post the example of where/how you create the dialog instance and where you call DoModal() and anything you do to the dialog class instance between creating the instance and calling DoModal()?

It seems like sometimes either the browser widnow is not crated or the browser pointer is not null. Can you look into why that might be the case? It seems strange to me that the base class code does not verify that the create window call succeeds prior to trying to create the com interface.

Hi,
I'm trying to fire an even from an C++ ActiveX that has a "by reference" parameter:

dispinterface _IMyEvents
[id(4)] void ButtonClicked(IMyProperty * prop, [in, out, ref] VARIANT_BOOL * bDataChanged);

However, the Fire_Event proxy code generated by the wizard complains about the byref value:

pvars[0] = bDataChanged;  // pvars[0] is a CComVariant

it's just a warning (short * truncated to bool), but it clearly indicates it doesn#t work as intended (CComVariant does not support reference values).

So - anything I can do?
The only alternatives I see are:
- write the fire_xxx wrapper myself (yuck!!!)
- provide a COM object with a "SetModified" flag instead (seems overkill)
- hack CComVariant into accepting a VARIANT_BOOL * as BYREF value (yuck yuck)

(The mechanism I need is similar to IPropertyNotifySink, but I want to support VB clients, so I can't work with S_OK / S_FALSE return value)

ALOK
I WANT TO CONVERT BACK A BSTR FILE TO A STRING FILE. IS IT POSSIBLE to CONVERT BSTR TO WIDE CHARACTER AND THEN (USING WideCharToMultiByte )TO CHARACTER

ThatsAlok15-Mar-05 2:14

15-Mar-05 2:14

There are many ways to convert BSTR TO STRING , here i am mentioning TWO!

1.wcstombs(...)
2.using String Conversion Macro LIKE W2T,T2BSTR....., but you have to enable String Conversion Macro by using USES_CONVERSION; macro

yeah you can use
WideCharToMultiByte, but this api always confuse me lot! Big Grin | :-D

Buddy!
BSTR and Wide Character has almost same format for character representation. so you can use wcstombs or string conversion macro stated above!! to convert them from wide character to multibyte character string, just try!!!

or if you are using MFC , CString expose some function for BSTR tooo,like CString::SetSysString , CString::AllocSysString

Problem in Copying a data / image to a ClipBoard

BSTR is just a WORD string (16 bits for each value).
if the BSTR contains 0 (zero), you can not convert it to CString because CString can not contain zero.

if not, do this way:
//assume length of BSTR is iNum
//cs is CString, bstr is BSTR
for(i=0;i<iNum;i++)
{
cs+=(char)bstr[i];
}

very easy

I am using the Following code :
When i call it first time to copy data , then i paste it in any MS word or Excel it works , On Second time when i copy the data the Program Crashes At the statment :
/////pData->SetClipboard();

CopyData()
{
CDC* dcRef = GetDC();

tagSTGMEDIUM * data;
data = new tagSTGMEDIUM;

CMetaFileDC * dcMeta;
dcMeta = new CMetaFileDC();
if(!dcMeta)
{
AfxMessageBox("Unable to Load data on Clipboard");
return;
}

COleDataSource* pData = new COleDataSource;

//replace "ImageName" with a description of this image
dcMeta->CreateEnhanced(dcRef, NULL, NULL,"Cca-Graph" );
dcMeta->SetMapMode(MM_TEXT);

dcMeta->SetAttribDC(dcRef->m_hAttribDC);

//actually draw to the device context
CRect rcWnd;
GetClientRect(&rcWnd);
//draw meta file :: do what ever you want to do: bitmaps, lines, text...
DrawChart(dcMeta, rcWnd, false);
//done drawing

data->tymed = TYMED_ENHMF;
data->hEnhMetaFile = dcMeta->CloseEnhanced();

pData->CacheData( CF_ENHMETAFILE, data );

////////////// Crashes Here when called Second time //////////////////////
pData->SetClipboard();

// Release the meta file attributes
dcMeta->ReleaseAttribDC();

delete dcMeta;
delete data;
}

So have you stepped into the SetClipboard() call to see why it is crashing?

zahid_ash wrote:

Where is the corresponding delete?

I don't see much error checking. Are all calls to new successful?

Are you saying that it crashes before going into the SetClipboard() method, or that it crashes while inside it?

zahid_ash wrote:

At this point it could be any number of things. Not enough information is known yet.

Sorry i not Read your this question in hurry

COleDataSource* pData = new COleDataSource;

Where is the corresponding delete?
new is successfull.

Its am not deleting it ? Where should i delete it in the above code.

thanx
