Dear all,
Good Day!
I’m writing a windows service(Login with local system) that open a Ms Word document, do some modification and then save the document to a new doc file. I’m using the Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library (Office 2003) via interlop. It works fine in my XP development PC(VS 2003 , framework v1.1.4322).
However, when deploy it to Windows 2000 Server which have Office 97 installed, the following error message encountered when the system perform Word.Document.Open() function.
'System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Word.Documents.Open(Object& FileName, Object& ConfirmConversions, Object& ReadOnly, Object& AddToRecentFiles, Object& PasswordDocument, Object& PasswordTemplate, Object& Revert, Object& WritePasswordDocument, Object& WritePasswordTemplate, Object& Format, Object& Encoding, Object& Visible, Object& OpenAndRepair, Object& DocumentDirection, Object& NoEncodingDialog, Object& XMLTransform)
at GCMS.RWrite.WriteReminder(RObject oRem)'
The following is my code snipet:
Dim oMainDoc As Word.Document
Dim oApp As Word.Application
If IsNothing(oApp) Then
oApp = New Word.Application
End If
'Error encounter at this line
oMainDoc = oApp.Documents.Open("c:\Test.Doc", isible:=False, OpenAndRepair:=True, Revert:=True, ReadOnly:=False)
The following file are inside the deployment folder.
MSWORD.OLB
office.dll
stdole.dll
Will the MSWORD.OLB (version office 2003) conflict with the version office 97 at the deployment PC? Can anybody give me some advise
I have done some searching but still not able to find the solution  Some have suggested to use DCOMCNFG to fix the user profile problem but since the windows service is login as “System”, it shouldn’t have this problem right?

Hi,
Is it possible to share the same instance of a COM between multiple client ?
I try to implement this scenario :
----------------------------------
1 - Create a COM service with and interface ITest that open the RS232 port 3.
2 - Create an application that instance the COM and use ITest interface.
3 - Start the service (1).
4 - Start two different instance of the same application (2).
5 - From this two applications send data to RS232 port 3 using ITest interface...
I don't know if it's possible... If some one have a solution, send me a message
I found a solution to share memory segment from multiple instance of a DLL, but for hardware resource....???
Thanks,
Ps: A made the difference between RS232 COM port and Object COM :->...

I think you can solve the problem making an out-of-process (i.e. an excutable) COM object: this way only a single process (the COM server) will access the hardware resource on behalf of its clients.
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

I can't use Word.Application ... in VS 2005. What is the problem here? I've installed Tools for Office
|
|
|
|

Hi,
It's not the same problem, and my problem was solved.
But i can help you... I don't use "Tools for Office" to access Word, i use typelib with MFC wrapper or #import command.
1) To use Word typelib, word must be installed on you machine ^_^
2) You can connect to word from different way.
3) There a lot of good article on this this with Excel try one, and replace Excel.Application by Word.Application and remove Excel specific code...
If you can't solve your problem, send me an other message, actually my VC is dead, i need to install VC2005 in the next hours...
Bye...

i wanna customize webbrowser in my own ocx(mfc activex),
according to Sumit Kapoor's method(plz see,
Customize Web Browser ActiveX and change its inbuilt settings[^]
i add
CCustomOccManager *pMgr = new CCustomOccManager;
m_pDispOM = new CImpIDispatch;
AfxEnableControlContainer(pMgr); into ocx's InitInstance, and implement the IDropTarget interface,now i want to do something in Drop() function,i wanna get the point of the main ocx ctrl through AfxGetMainWnd(),,of course i got the point,and could get the member webbrowser which had been capsulated in the ocx control,hereto,everything is ok,then i call the webbrowser's method through formmer point,(eg
CMyCtrl* pWnd = (CMyCtrl*)AfxGetMainWnd();
pWnd->m_ctrlWeb.Image(strImage);
),
here problem comes,
if (S_OK == m_pCmdTarg->QueryStatus(&CGID_MSHTML, 1, &ocmd, NULL))
return ocmd.cmdf;,
and error msg is:
First-chance exception in ViewTest.exe (MyControl.OCX): 0xC0000005: Access Violation.

It means, either m_pCmdTarg or ocmd or CGID_MSHTML is uninitialized , when it is expected otherwise.

thanks your reply,
i debug my code again,the variables u referred before are all ininitialized,
i suspect that whether i could use AfxGetMainWnd() in my ocx

Don't think so. Probably, you can use some other function , usual MFC function on that returned window pointer, to check it's sanity.

thanks prasad,
without using AfxGetMainWnd(),which other function could i use,
btw, i have no choice but using globle point to webbrowser instead?
any good idea about this?
|

|

Sorry for confusion. What I meant was, use some other MFC function on returned CWd*.
CWnd *pWnd = AfxGetMainWnd(),
pWnd->FlasWindow(TRUE);

hi,prasad,thanks your kindness,
i adding pWnd->FlasWindow(TRUE); into my program,but it's not ok yet
|
|
|
|

I guess, I'm not able to explain you.
This function will not solve problem. I wanted you to check sanity of pointer you suspect.
It is dangling pointer for sure. Doesn't call stack tell you something ?

u mean the c all stack of AfxGetMainWnd(),oh,it's too complicated
|
|
|
|
|
hi,prasad,r u here now?
i found the m_pCmdTarg's address that i called it through AfxGetMainWnd(), is different to that one called directly in the ocx control,it's so strange,
do u have any idea about this problem?
thanks

Hai,
How can I implement more than one interfaces in same coclass using ATL
Thanks

This is the easiest way in VC6:
You have to have a typelibrary for the interface you want to implement in your CoClass. This could mean that you define another interface in your IDL-file for your CoClass if it doesn't exist yet.
Right-click your CoClass object in the ClassView and select "Implement interface..." and check the interfaces you want to implement in your CoClass.

Hi Roger,
I tried it, and its working. Now I am able to Query one interface from
another(They belongs to different coclass) .
Thanks

There is an article in MSDN so that we can run multiple version of COM Components at the same time using a .local file.
"DLL/COM Redirection on Windows"
I tried this but it never works. Any Idea?
|
|
|
|
|
The DLL to be redirected to must be placed in the same folder as the application, and the file must be in the same folder and named appname.exe.local. For example, notepad.exe.local to redirect Notepad.

Hope to use C# for ActiveX in Excel VBA. Success to call as COM, but fail to add the control from "Control Toolbox" as ActiveX
I want to use C# for ActiveX in Excel, but fail to add the control from "Control Toolbox".
I have write a COM object using C#, and I can call those function in Excel VBA normally.
But when I try to change it as a ActiveX, I fail.
The Excel can detect my COM object as a ActiveX, that means it can show in the "Control Toolbox".
Once I select it, and try to put it in the Excel, it show me a dialog box said "Cannot insert object".
I have read the following link about the error message, but for my ActiveX in C# do not have the .odl file.

Can any one give me some hints?

HI again-
another newbie query:
Having got a Gridview bound to a dataset (which is the returned value of a method), and having all the fields displayed by field-name without any code, i thought i could do the same with Formview: bind it to a dataset and have form-controls generated for each field.
But it didn't happen, i could not get it to work; so i ended up binding my Formview to a method that returned a class: with code like
------------------------
myClass2.SpeciesId = _dsSpecies.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("spID").ToString
myClass2.CommonName = _dsSpecies.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("common").ToString
myClass2.LatinName = _dsSpecies.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("latin").ToString
myClass2.LifeText = _dsSpecies.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("lifecode").ToString
--------------------
to get at each field of the dataset.
Which is rather like the code I had "in the old days", but having discovered the data-adapter and "fill" and getting my Gridview bound to the dataset, i thought i had got away from such coding?
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to bind a Formview to a Dataset, so that the Formview controls can be generated (or selected) from that dataset, or do i need to leave my code as above? There must be a way oif Gridview is so clever, but binding to a method that returned a dataset didn't go anywhere 
thanks -
aitch

Maybe the VB.NET one is more appropriate.

is it, i'm sorry: but as there is far more about the Formview Control in my asp.net books than in my vb.net books, and the asp.net books go into it in much more detail, i thought this was a more appropraitw forum.
Unfortunetaly, neither the asp.net nor the vb.net books gives me any indication if i can bind a formview to a dataset.
