Embedding windows media player in visual c++ .net projects - COM Discussion Boards

if the clients are in same thread department, then it is possible, just need this macro:DECLARE_CLASSFACTORY_SINGLETON Smile | :)

Thanks

if client is in different process, is it impossible?
If you proxy & stub method, is it possible?

if the clients are in deifferent processes, that means each clients is in different department, so it's impossible, I've never done with proxy & stub, so I'm not sure if it is possible, by my personal assumption, it's imposible, because proxy &stub is used to marshal data between client and com server. it doesn't change the com's mechanism. hope I can be understood.

give a hand,have a heart

I don't have Essential COM by Don Box with me tonight, so I can't cite any specifics. But I do remember him advising AGAINST using singletons as described in a post below. If I recall correctly, the major concerns were performance, as the singleton would become a major bottleneck in a distributed system (I assume your system is a distributed one, as you mention multiple clients).

Either try to find the book in your library, buy it, or try googling on "COM singleton Don Box".

I have a dialog based application very simple (visual c++ .net). i added a windows media player control to the dialog resource. next i gave an id IDC_PLAYER. next i added a variable called m_ctrlPlayer(Add Variable). I have also a button (play) and below is the event handler for that button.

void CWindowMediaDlg::OnBnClickedPlay()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
m_ctrlPlayer.GetControls().play();
}
i get this error when i try to compile the project....

error C2039: 'GetControls' : is not a member of 'COcx1'
ocx1.h(11) : see declaration of 'COcx1'
error C2228: left of '.play' must have class/struct/union type

and here is how COcx1 looks...

Hi,
I want to know how to get CLSID of a particular activex control given its name. Is there any API to do so?

Hi,

Here is the API to get the CLSID of the activex control.

CLSIDFromProgID(...)

Hope this would help.

Cheers,
Vishal

Hi,
Yes i have tried this API but not succesful. If AnalogMeter is my activeX control then i have used

CLSID clsid;
CLSIDFromProgID(L"AnalogMeter", &clsid);

This gives error ....how to do it? how to pass activeX name as parameter to this API?

The first parameter for CLSIDFromProgID has to be the PROGID
Like for MS-Word, the PROGID is "Word.Application.9"

You can get PROGID from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

BTW what is the error you are getting ?
You can see the error using the API GetLastError()

Have fun !

Cheers,
Vishal

Hi what visahlmore was written is quite correct. but to describe more, I should note that ClassID is assigned to a class not an activex while an activex file can have one or more classes to export.
Usually the class is named like "ActiveXName.ClassName" exactly the same string that you should use in CreateObject API to make an instance of the class.
You can easily also find the class id in the following address in registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ActiveXName.ClassName\CLSID

Thanks, My problem is solved. One more thing, i need to show selected activex images in a ToolBox on start of application and allow user to drag n drop controls onto the container...Just like we do while designing a dialog box(adding buttons,etc).

Any help on how to do it?

Can somebody tell me hoe to read AVI header of an AVI file using Visual C++.

Thanks in advance. Laugh | :laugh:

I have a project that uses a ActiveX that refers to a COM object, this project is runing on a server and the ActiveX should be downloaded onto the client. This does not work, but if I copy my COM project over to the client and compile it there the project on the server functions great.

My questing is this....

What do I have to do to register the COM project on the client(whithout copying the project and compiling it)

Spaz

You need to register it on the client machine using a simple line of code.
just try to run regsvr32.exe /s "LocalActiveXFile" on the clinet machine to register the ActiveX and then easily use it.

Hint:
When you compile a COM component, the compiler automatically does the registeration process which is done simply by running the line of code I introduced.

Hope it was helpful
