Hello mpuerto,
Use the ITypeInfo::GetNames() method. E.g. :
typedef std::vector<BSTR> BSTR_VECTOR;
...
...
...
BSTR_VECTOR vecFunctionParameters;
pITypeInfo -> GetFuncDesc
(
(unsigned int)function_id,
(FUNCDESC FAR* FAR*)&pFUNCDESC
);
// Resize the vector of BSTRs to hold "cParams + 1" number
// of parameters. We plus 1 because GetNames() will return
// to us the name of the method itself as the first returned
// name.
vecFunctionParameters.resize(pFUNCDESC->cParams + 1);
pITypeInfo -> GetNames
(
(MEMBERID)(pFUNCDESC->memid),
(BSTR FAR*)&(vecFunctionParameters[0]),
(unsigned int)(pFUNCDESC->cParams + 1),
(unsigned int FAR*)&cNames
);
BSTR_VECTOR::iterator theIterator;
DWORD dwParamIndex = 0;
for
(
theIterator = (vecFunctionParameters.begin() + 1), dwParamIndex = 0;
theIterator != vecFunctionParameters.end();
theIterator++, dwParamIndex++
)
{
BSTR bstrTemp = (BSTR)(*theIterator);
_bstr_t _bstTemp(bstrTemp, true);
TYPEDESC td = ((pFUNCDESC->lprgelemdescParam) + dwParamIndex)->tdesc;
std::cout << (LPCTSTR)_bstTemp << " " << td.vt << std::endl;
::SysFreeString(bstrTemp);
bstrTemp = NULL;
}
Give it a try, mpuerto.
Best Regards,
Bio.

hi there,
i got a problem when switching my apartment modell from single-threaded to multi-threaded (using c#).
i make use of the DragDropHelper interface, which (as far as i know) has to be initialized via "CoCreateInstance" as "CLSCTX.INPROC_SERVER"; however, when i switch to MTAThread for a multithreaded department, the instantiation fails saying something like "interface not supported" (or "class not registered" as i played around with the CLSCTX-parameter).
the thing is, i make extensive use of COM-interfaces as i write some kind of explorer-replacement; as doing so some functions are really slow (like icon extraction on tons of files  ), i decided to switch to the multithreaded-department; however, some COM-interfaces aren't supported there (e.g. IShellIcon) when trying to instanciate in a STAThread department but trying to use in a seperate thread...
my opinion was, switching to MTAThread-department would let me allow to use COM in seperate threads, however, DragDropHelper-instanciation fails although doing in the main thread of the process.
Any ideas, did i miss something?
regards,
tajbender

I'm building an MFC app to view tv guide information; just for fun. In
this app I need a grid-like control. I have experimented with MSFlexGrid
and don't really care for it. I have ideas to create my own control with
variable length cells on a row (array style v. columns) and I would like
to add some fancy gradiant shading, images, hovertext, and some other
things.
Anyway, I wanted to implement the grid as an ActiveX control but am having
trouble getting CScrollBar to work. I have written ActiveX controls before
which had CDialog based popups. In this case I'm thinking CScrollView might
be better since I don't want a popup. I actually have most of it written
simply using CBrush, CFont, and CRect in the OnDraw event. If I could just
get a CScrollBar to show up and send event messages I'd be on my way.
I'd like this to be as lightweight as possible. It appears that using
CScrollView would require an SDI/MDI class and I'm not really sure how to
add this to an ActiveX control or if I event want to. If it's not a
lightweight control I'd almost rather just build this into my main
project.
So I'm looking for design advice and/or links to web pages demonstrating
adding MFC common controls to an ActiveX ocx and mapping the messages. I
found HOWTO: Add Tooltips to ActiveX controls in the MSDN library which
I am going to try but its not really what I want.
Thanks.

There is an article on codeguru (http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/misc/misc/article.php/c6093/[^]) about using active scripting with MFC or ATL/WTL application. The code library instruments connection points between VBScript and host application so one can call C/C++ functions from VBScript and share the variables between the two. The implementation is reasonable except one issue, It suffer from an “Interface Leak”. One can see the leak running the sample program with the article in debug mode.
It seems the AddRef()/Release() are not balanced in the code. I was curios to see where the bug was. Tracing the interface code, it seems that “QueryInterface()” is seemingly adding implicit reference on the interface.
I fixed the problem by inserting an extra Release() on pIDisp on line 308 in file “ScriptHost.cpp” after the AddRef(). It seemingly solves the problem with no more interface leaks.
The fix above is for function residing in the application, the same fix on couple of lines above solves the shared variable issue too.
I am curious to get some input from COM gurus why a call to QueryInterface() is adding an extra reference on the interface.

The COM rules says explicitly that a successful QueryInterface shall increase the reference count. This must be the case if you think about it. You are getting a reference to a new interface handle. It must be AddRef()'d because of situations like these:
IUnknown* pUnk = ...;
IMyInterface* pItf;
pUnk->QueryInterface(__uuidof(IMyInterface), (void**)&pItf);
pUnk->Release();
pItf->MyMethod(); If QueryInterface didn't AddRef(), then the code above would be invalid.
The COM rules assures that client code does not need to be complex.

hi,

Can anyone send me some help regarding this

In a nutshell ...
Component Object Model.
COM is a set of specifications and services designed to allow the following:
Modular code components can be written in any COM language and called from any other COM language. Example, a COM component created in C++ can be used by VB and in some case edven VBScript.
COM components can be changed within certain specs and swapped out without recompiling the application that uses them. So you can fix or upgrade functionality in a COM object ,and install the upgrade without having to change the application itself.
COM supports distributed applications - in other words an application can use a COM component but the actual location is transparent to the application. So an application that uses a COM component does not know and does not care if the component is in the same folder, in a different folder, or on a completely different machine in a network.

I really don't have any good links for beginning COM.
Everything I know about COM I learned from various books I bought, mainly:
"Beginning ATL 3 COM Programming" by Wrox Press
"Advanced VB6" by Matthew Curland
maybe a few other sources, and the forums like this and mostly just struggling with it a lot.

My first foray in COM and active scripting. When I run my app, I get the following message in the Debug windows
"INTERFACE LEAK: Ref Count = 1, MaxRefCount = 3, {Allocation =6} MyFunction - IDispatch"
It looks like the ATL debug trace is trying to tell me something but what is it and where should I start.
Thanks

Your calls of AddRef() and Release() on a COM-Interface are not balanced.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for the information, that is what I was suspecting, after going through some COM documentation. I guess the traces in the debug window are trying to tell me the count of AddRef and Release with ">" "<" count.

I had a component which has automation support and i am calling the component from the HTML page which contains VBSCRIPT. Every thing is working fine. but i am not able to debug the Component. i tried with inetinfo.exe and dllhost.exe.
Kindly help me what is the process i need to attach for debugging this component and generally how can i know what is the process i need to attach for debugging the DLL's
subbarao.

Thanks for your answer. I got this problem solved.
But I need some more information. Is there any way to find what process we need to attach to debug the DLL (MFC or ATL) like by codewalthrough or going through Registry Entries etc..

I'm writing a plugin for IE. It's needed to customize IE context menu.
I used CHostUIHandler::ShowContextMenu() for it. I have loaded
SHDOCLC.DLL inside this function and have gotten standard IE context
menu and it was restored.
OK.
But the context menu has additional menu items which have been loaded
from the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt
Now context menu has 2 separators only instead these additional items.
Can somebody to advise me how correctly restore IE context menu
completly.
Thanks.

Hello
I have a working Outlook COM AddIn and but I have run into a problem. I can’t figure out how to access the information contained in the Options Dialog under the tools menu. It appears that it’s possible to add more tabs to the dialog but not access the already existing ones. More specifically I need to access the “Always check spelling before sending” option on the ‘Spelling’ tab.
The COM places a button on the standard tool bar of the new mail inspector. The button simply sends the mail, and logs some details about that mail to an external application. However simply calling the MailItem.Send() function does not trigger the spell checker the same way actually pushing the Send button does. As a result I need to access the “Always check spelling before sending” option, so as to decide whether or not to show the spell check dialog.
The only other option I can see is to add an extra tab of my own to the options dialog and include some properties I can access. This seems stupid when there is already a perfectly good property hidden away some where.
Help me please I’m going insane
Gerry
