I get failure when I'm using only CoCreateInstance!
And it doesn't something with COM-related problems.
I've found the solution, just to declare all arguments for the OPC-interface function, in a logical way, otherwith the access to the interfaces fails with an null pointer receive-failure.
Therefore the specification of the opc foundation is very unusual to understand!

I have a COM/ATL out-of-proc server whose main object is a singleton. I will call this Object A. Object A is called by other out-of-proc servers, but they are on the same machine so I am not worried about DCOM, etc. Object A uses a third party library (another set of COM objects) which generally works well but has a couple of known problems which can crash the Object A server (the problem can be reproduced). I have isolated this library into its own out-of-proc server to protect the Object A server. The library of the new server contains an object (I will call it Object B) which gets a reference to Object A. Object A releases its reference to Object B, but Object B maintains its own reference until its work is done. When the work by Object B is done, it notifies Object A, releases Object A and then releases itself. When all other servers are done and release Object A, then Object A is released and goes away normally.
If in the middle of its work, Object B crashes, it takes down its own server but the server which owns Object A is unharmed... except, that it still thinks there is another server out there which has a reference to it, so it won't shut down when all other out-of-proc servers have released their references.
Object A also maintains a watch on the Object B process so it knows if the Object B process has crashed.
Efforts to decrement the interface count on Object A when Object B crashes were not helpful and could have caused other problems (the reference count in Object A does not appear to be affected by Object B... I am assuming an internal reference count and an external referece count... but if so, where is the external reference count stored and can it be decremented???).
Ultimately, I need to get Object A back to the state it had before it created Object B.
I am also posting this in the ATL forum.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have a problem with the Internet Explorer. I added it to my view-class and set it up using the IWebBrowser2-interface.
It all works fine, the browser shows the HTML-content that it is supposed to. But when I click into the browser-area and
then try to set the focus to another control (for example a list ctrl) the browser "steals" the focus. It isn't possible
to type something in another control which is very annoying, of course...do you have an idea what is going on here and
how I can avoid this problem?

Hi
I am getting Access violation whenever I Query for IWMSBufferAllocator in my custom plugin.
Here is code
<br />
<br />
IWMSBufferAllocator *pBufAllocator = NULL;<br />
<br />
if(m_spClassFactory)<br />
{<br />
hr = m_spClassFactory->QueryInterface(IID_IWMSBufferAllocator,(void**)&pBufAllocator);<br />
if(FAILED(hr))<br />
return hr;<br />
}<br />
Debug output gives these lines
Access violation reading location 0xfffffffffffffff.
The thread 'Win64 Thread' (0x338) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
First-chance exception at 0x78d67d0d in WMServer.exe: 0x80010105: The server threw an exception.
m_spClassFactory seems good. Its not a null or invlaid pointer. I have also tried with code like MSDN where
hr = m_spClassFactory->QueryInterface(IID_IWMSBufferAllocator,(void**)&pBufAllocator);
is used as
hr = m_spClassFactory->QueryInterface(&pBufAllocator);<br />
Can someone help? There is no other doc available.

I am developing a COM server (.exe or .dll) to add functionality to vbScript. For one, I am wanting to develop a modal dialog window that can be opened from vbscript.
So far I have the dialog able to be opened but wierd things happen. When running in an .exe I get "Server Busy" messages when the dialog is opened modal. When running in a .dll then it seems my dialog goes stale... the controls are there and functional, but the event engine in the dll doesn't appear to be active (this is based on Qt from TrollTech).
I'm hoping there's something simple to get beyond these wierd COM hurdles.

Hi All ,
I would like to query for an interface in a COM DLL .I don't
know the CLSID of the COM DLL. I tried to use tlbinf32.dll to do this by importing it into my VC++ project using #import, but when I compile , I get errors in the .tlh file that is generated. Anyone who has used this please help .
Thanks in advance!

How is it possible for an entire machine's COM pointers to simultaneously unregister themselves?

 What do you mean by that?
cleako wrote: simultaneously unregister themselves
How did you come to that conclusion?
Try describing the problem instead of making an assumption about the cause.
What happens? Can you create objects or not? Error messages?

We have an app server and a web server. The web server contains all of the COM objects as well as the app server but the web server is supposed to point to the app server and run those COM objects instead of on the itself. Everthing was working and suddenly many COM objects simply could not be located and when the program runs the error message is something along the lines of "Could not create object" and I am guessing the cannot find object error code.
The COM objects have been re-registered but I am curious how they just unregistered themselves, assuming nobody did it and just isnt speaking.

Hi all,
Working on sending commands to a device, I have been using the code provided by Ashish Dhar, here : www.codeproject.com/system/serial_com.asp
(I know I should post there, but there are many post without any reply there, so...)
Everything was going fine using this simple code:
char receive_write[] = {0x02, 0x00, 0x02, 0x00, 0x30, 0x01, 0x31, 0x18};
m_theCommPort.Write(receive_write, sizeof(receive_write) );
Now, I need to send a longer string of unsigned char :
unsigned char receive_write[] = {0x02, 0x00, 0x07, 0x00, 0x75, 0x01, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x91, 0x01, 0x7D, 0xB6};
m_theCommPort.Write(receive_write, sizeof(receive_write) );
Now the device returns a "unknown command" telegram. But the command is the right one.
Write uses WriteFile,
WriteFile returns FALSE and GetLastError returns error 997 : Overlapped I/O operation in process
Is it related to timeout, or to the string length, or either?
Thanks for helping,
Matthieu Deveau

Hi,
The 'error' ERROR_IO_PENDING (=997) just tells you that the method WriteFile has returned before all the data have been transmitted. This is usually the reason why someone uses overlapped operations - you don't want to block your application waiting for the IO operation to finish.
I recommend that you do some reading on overlapped operations. You should find a lot material on this site.

Tim

Hi,
I have a .tlb-file which only contains Interfaces for a COM-Application.
How can I use this Interfaces in C#?
How can I "instantiate" these Interfaces to use the functions they provide?
Thanks in advance,

I have referenced a VB6 DLL and I have access to it and all is well. The problem is that I have had to make changes to that DLL and other applications point to it.
The question is this, does the application need that original DLL in the original location or just simply registered on the server, and just trying this it looks like it needs to be in that original location??

I'm on a .NET project, and I need to be able to (with .NET code):
1. Open a library that contains COM objects.
2. Find the class GUID, interface GUID, and description of each and every COM object in the library. In other words, it's sort of like using reflection on a COM library using .NET code.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding memory sharing in a COM object.
Background: Recently we shifted to VS2005. Hence the dll written in VC6 is no longer directly useful. I might have to write a COM wrapper to access this dll. The application would be working with huge files and I want only a single copy maintained across my application. The dll should actually read the file and after the error checking send the a pointer of the memory to my application.
My question:
1) Is it possible to do it with COM?
2) What would happen if my COM object memory is on a remote server?
3) Does the COM object copy the memory and send it to the requested application or does it just pass the reference.
My intention is to maintain a single place of memory where the file data would be read and used.
Please let me know how can I achieve this through COM. Any links would be useful.
Regards,
Arti Gujare

Do you really need COm wrapper or P/Invoke helps ?

Thankyou Sohail.
I am a newbie to COM.
When I said we shifted to VS2005 I meant that the application using the dll was previosly written in VC6 and dll too was written in VC6. Now the application has to be written in VS2005 and still use the VC6 dll. My typical use case is:
1) Application send the file name to the dll.
2) dll reads the file at that mentioned filepath and does some file checks
3) if the file is in expected format, the dll returns the pointer pointing to the file data to the applictaion.
Can I achieve this using P/Invoke?
Regards,
Arti Gujare
