But in COM you can't derive a coclass from another coclass.
|
|
|
|
|
You don't need that. You have just to derive the implementation from the C++ class (or make the CoClasses both inherit from the same C++ class, Oh yes, multiple inheritance, ATL docet).

Hi All, I registered qtobjectmodel.dll whicj I am using in my project
# import <c:\qtobjectmodel.dll>
but when i am executing the code
it is giving fatal error
fatal error C1083:Cannot open source file:'.\BSTester_p.c':No such file or directory
fatal error C1083:Cannot open source file:'.\BSTester_i.c':No such file or directory
Can this be due to admin rights
As I don't have them on my pc
for registering the dll "regsvr32 C:\QTObjectModel.dll"-my network admin person do that.
So please guide me ,can this be due to admin rights or due to some other problem
I am using visual studio 2003
Thanks in advance

Hai all,
Do anyone know , how to pass a user define structure from a VC++ Client to a COM Server, through VARIANT.
Thanks,
George.
|
|
|
|
|
You don't need a VARIANT. Anyway, you can pass a pointer of the struct in the byref member of the VARIANT union (of course the COM server must be aware of the struct declaration).
Hope that helps.

Hi Pallini,
My code is given below
/************Client Side****************************************/
typedef struct
{
int i;
char ch[10];
}StrctMine;
VARIANT vrt;
StrctMine gOb;
gOb.i = 10;
strcpy(gOb.ch,"geo");
vrt.vt = VT_BYREF;
vrt.byref = (void*)&gOb;
myPtr.CreateInstance(__uuidof(MyVar));
myPtr->VarFun(&vrt);
/*************************************************/
In Server side , I have written my structure in idl file, And I called a method , that is given below.
STDMETHODIMP CMyVar::VarFun(VARIANT *vPtr_i)
{
// TODO: Add your implementation code here
MessageBox(NULL,"Hai","",MB_OK);
return S_OK;
}
But this code is not working.
Thanks
George

VT_BYREF by itself isn't a legal type. If you must pass the struct in a VARIANT, you'll need to serialize it into a packet of bytes (for example, XML) and pass that as a SAFEARRAY of VT_UI1. There is also IRecordInfo, which MSDN says is for passing UDTs, but I've never used it myself.

I have to admint (and I don't like it a bit) that I underestimated you problem (and the fact that memory have to cross process boundaries). Anyway, there are, of course, solutions. You can:
(1) Take a drastic approach, coverting you struct into a COM object, which can be created and passed to other COM objects without problems.
(2) Copy the content (memory) of your struct to a SAFEARRAY (even to a BSTR, a bit ugly, but AFAIK, working) and pass it to the out-of process COM server that can claim the struct back from the memeory content of the SAFEARRY (or BSTR!).
I think there are, as well, other solutions, but unfortunately, I can't remember, I cant't recall them...

Hello georgekjolly,
I've written some sample codes for you which demonstrates the use of SafeArrays and the IRecordInfo for passing a struct as a VARIANT parameter.
Contact me via :
bio_lim_2004@yahoo.com
I'll email it to you.
Best Regards,
Bio.

Hello George,
Thanks, I've received your email this morning. I've tried twice to send you the sample codes as a zip file attachment but your email server kept messaging me of send failure.
Do you have another email address that I can send to ?
Best Regards,
Bio.

As the subject states, I have a COM object (dll) and I need to convert this to an ActiveX control. Is this a simple task, that is, do I just need to make a few changes to "adapt" it, or will this require a lot of menial work creating all of the methods and classes using the Class Wizard.
Thanks in advance for any advice
|
|
|
|

Usually it depends to how many functionalities (i.e. interfaces) your control will expose (loosely speaking, during last years, Microsoft relaxed a lot the minimal requirements of an ActiveX). IMHO the simplest way is the following:
(1) use the wizard (either the MFC or the ATL one) to build up the ActiveX control skeleton.
(2) add your object code to such skeleton.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, I'll play around with this and see what happens.
To date - all attempts at "moving" things into my new ActiveX control, seem to confuse the Class wizard. As far as I can tell, the Class Wizard prefers doing things on its own and doesn't like anyone else mucking around with the project. Maybe I'm wrong.
|
|
|
|

Maybe you have to 'interfere' as little as possible with the Wizard (i.e. define the interface using the Wizard and then add your object code to the methods skeleton).
BTW are you using MFC or ATL (The latter gives you more flexibility...)?

I started out creating an ActiveX control with MFC. After a few hours and several broken pieces of office furniture that happened to be nearby, I tried with ATL. ATL seems to give me results that are closer to what I want, but I still can't seem to convince the Wizards to recognize the classes that I copied and added to my new project.
So far I must have created/deleted projects at least 20 time (I'm sure it's more). Although I seem to be learning in the process - why do I feel even stupider than when I started?
Thanks for your help.

Hello everyone:
i write a win32 c++ program,then i add ATL OLE DB consumer in my project.now i need the function that when the SQL database's data change,my main program's window can refresh view.so i refer to msnd:
==========================================================================
Visual C++
Receiving Notifications
OLE DB provides interfaces for receiving notifications when events occur. These are described in OLE DB Object Notifications in the OLE DB Programmer's Reference. Setup of these events uses the standard COM connection-point mechanism. For example, an ATL object that wants to retrieve events through IRowsetNotify implements the IRowsetNotify interface by adding IRowsetNotify to the class-derived list and exposing it through a COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY macro.
IRowsetNotify has three methods, which can be called at various times. If you want to respond to only one of these methods, you can use the IRowsetNotifyImpl class, which returns E_NOTIMPL for the methods you are not interested in.
When you create the rowset, you must tell the provider that you want the returned rowset object to support IConnectionPointContainer, which is needed to set up the notification.
The following code shows how to open the rowset from an ATL object and use the AtlAdvise function to set up the notification sink. AtlAdvise returns a cookie that is used when you call AtlUnadvise.
---------------------------------------------------
CDBPropSet propset(DBPROPSET_ROWSET);
propset.AddProperty(DBPROP_IConnectionPointContainer, true);
product.Open(session, _T("Products"), &propset);
AtlAdvise(product.m_spRowset, GetUnknown(), IID_IRowsetNotify, &m_dwCookie);
============================================================================
the code is so little that i don't know how to implement in my code,did anyone can help me?
thanks a lot!

Hi all,
I need to transfer all data in RTF format from native MS Word format. The best thing that i did is to open DOC in MS Word and save it RTF format. But the problem that it's taking so long. I tried to make call Copy to selection and then paste it somewhere, it's working very fast, but the problem that it's messing up a clipboard. Can someone help me with such problem?
Maybe there is a way to transfer data directly from Word to my app. like DDE or something?
Please post your comments. It's very urgent.
Thanx.
