ConnectionPoints are one method. What MIDL will allow is to pass an interface pointer tather than a finction pointer. Then you can call a function of that passed interface from the server.
Have the client implement an interface with the callback function and the server an interface with a method that takes a pointer to the first interface as a parameter. Then in the client internally QueryInterface for the interface and pass it to the server.

Hi, I have searched around the web and all my reference books but have yet to see an example of how this is done, or even if it can be done.
Here is my dilemma:
I have some old legacy apps that were written in VB6. Yay. Despite the fact that the VB6 programmers never used Object Oriented Programming of any kind... for some reason in this case they decided to nest the Procedure I need inside a class. Because of some poor programming practices that our team insists on following, I am prohibited from creating a strong reference to this COM Dll, I have to use PInvoke. So How can I use PInvoke to reference a method when it is a member of a VB6 class? The entry point is not recognized since an instance of the class would need to first be instantiated in order to access the method. Here is a sample of what my DllImport looks like:
[DllImport("SomeCOMDll", EntryPoint="aVB6Function")]
public static extern Recordset AVb6Function([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)]
string globalIdentifier,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)]
string webUser_ID,
DateTime shipDate,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.SafeArray, SafeArraySubType = VarEnum.VT_BSTR)]
string[,] origDestArray,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.SafeArray, SafeArraySubType = VarEnum.VT_BSTR)]
string[,] wtClsArray,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)]
string mode,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)]
string svcLvl,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)]
string IOT,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)]
string custCode,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Currency)]
decimal fuel,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Currency)]
decimal addtMarkupPct,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.SafeArray, SafeArraySubType = VarEnum.VT_BSTR)]
string[,] webAccChgArray);

I am using VisualStudio6 and fairly new to COM.
I am using connection points for recieving reply from a server. The issue is client is waiting for the reply. Since, event are like windows messages, the client will not recieve the events fired from server if
dwReturn = ::WaitForSingleObject( m_hSynEvent , INFINITE );
is called . Please provide a solution for recieving the events.
Thanking You in advance.

Hello merina2005,
You can use ATLWaitWithMessageLoop(). However, there is a design flaw with this function : there is no timeout parameter.
I have written a function that waits for an event that also times out when required. Email me if you want it. My email address is :
bio_lim_2004@yahoo.com
Best Regards,
Bio.

Hi;
ATLWaitWithMessageLoop() allows other window messages to be dispatched while waiting. I want my GUI to wait(ie, not to process any windows message)until the reply is obtained. Do Help.
Thanking You in advance.

>> I want my GUI to wait(ie, not to process any windows message)until the reply is obtained...
This is v strange. If your GUI does not receive any windows messages, then it will be totally fixed on the screen and immobile. It will not receive any WM_PAINT messages and so covering it and then uncovering it will not cause it to repaint its client area. It will not even respond to any mouse click and drag.
But if this is really what you want then you should go ahead and use WaitForSingleObject(). The effect will be as you desired.
But I must be missing out on something here. Maybe you have not explained yourself fully.

In the case od STA application, the event fired using connection point will not be recieved if we use WaitForSingleObject(). I have fixed this issue by using CoWaitForMultipleHandles(). In this case, pending events are processed after obtaining the reply from connection points.
Thank You for your updates.

Hi,
I have a server which is used for windows 2000 advanced server. This server i have created a asp.net application to read excel sheet and update the data into the database.
I want to add permission for ASPNET for MS Excel Application. But it does not listed on DCOM Config properties.
How can i add/migrate MS Excel Application to DCOM Config properties?
It is urgent to update for my project.
Thanks in advance

It's under there. Add ASPNET to local launch and activate permissions. With Excel 2007, I found it necessary to login as ASPNET user using a program called anup(gets ASP.NET encypted password), logging in as ASPNET user, and then clicking OK on dialogs which popped up in order for interop automation to work from ASPNET user account.

Hey,
i've written a ActiveX-control using MFC. The control creates a CWnd which hosts a CListCtrl. All works fine, in Ms Testcontainer but not e.g. in Ms Access/Excel. When I use a form in Access and place my control on the form, no key events reach my control (even if the control has focus). All mouse-events works well. How can I send the keystrockes to my control (eg. move cursor on my listctrl)?
Thank you for helping me...

Does anyone know how to get a reference to the IFolderViewOC interface from within an Explorer extension (sidebar)?
I am trying to get a reference from with IObjectWithSite::SetSite(), I have tried using the IServiceProvider which fails and I now think I need to query a service to get the reference but do not know which service to query.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
I am working with COM dll resources. I have created a menu in a com dll and provided an interface with a method to return the handle to the menu.
When I am trying to pass this handle(converting to int) to CSingleDocTemplate of InitInstance() and trying to run the application, I am getting "Failed to create empty document".
My intention is to use the menu(resource) which is present in the com dll in my application.
In order to achieve this, is this the correct way of proceeding or not? If yes, where am I doing wrong?
If not, please suggest an alternative mechanism.
Thanks in advance.

Did you take the time to read the Microsoft Knowledge Base article listed in your error message? It tells you exactly why it happens and how to get around it.

Hello,
I have a C# com object (.net framework 2.0) that I want to call from C++.
I tried to import the tlb and create the object using MyNamespace::IMyInterfacePtr pObj; but i got errors about not impelemting queryInterface, AddRef etc.
I found out that I should use CComObject (ref: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181265[^].
So declaring the variable was a success using:
<codeccomobject><mynamespace::mycomclass xmlns:mynamespace="#unknown">* pObj;Now I am trying to create an instance by using:
<code>HRESULT hRes = (CComObject<mynamespace::mycomclass>::CreateInstance(&pObj);</mynamespace::mycomclass>But I get the following error:
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\atl\include\atlcom.h(2395) : error C2504: 'MyConClass' : base class undefined<br />
see reference to class template instantiation 'ATL::CComObject<struct>;' being compiled</struct>
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
thanks!

Your question is confusing as hell.
When you say that:
"I have a C# com object (.net framework 2.0) that I want to call from C++.
I tried to import the tlb and create the object using MyNamespace::IMyInterfacePtr pObj; but i got errors about not impelemting queryInterface, AddRef etc."
I have to wonder, obviously, not only how did you define this object, but, why would you refer to this object as a COM object (since, by definition, a COM object must implement the IUnknown interface methods, QueryInterface, AddRef, Release).
(...just curious,...)
Everything I know about COM. I learned from Behind The Scenes of a COM Server[^]

Hi,
I have COM module which run as local server on invocation by the client.
I have Cisco Security Agent installed on my machine. When I run my client which onvokes COM module.I can run the requests and COM module will give the result. Once I get the result this COM module will be removed which is not suppose to. I cannot run some other requests again because COM module will not be there. This happens only with Cisco Security agent installed on the machine not even you need to run this service.If it just installed on your machine it gives you problem.COM module should go only when Client closes. IF CSA(Cisco Security Agent) is not installed on the machine this perfectly works fine.Any idea why this hehaves like this?
Please help.
