There is a large variety of setup toolkits to fit any budget. We use Wise InstallBuilder but there are a number of lower-cost options as well. For example take a look at InnoSetup. For a list of others, visit any popular download site such as download.com or tucows.com.

hi~
I apologize being not good at English.
I wanna serialize my own data for network/file/etc...
I thought that stream of c++ standard library is suitable.
but, there's no facilities exactly for my use.
1. I wanna store stream data into memory.(not file)
2. insertion and extraction must operate in binary mode.
// example of usage
// proc A
omystream ms; // mystream is that I wanted..
int n = 1;
short s = 2;
ms << n << s;
// or ms << int_b(n) << short_b(s);
// int_b(), short_b() is custom manipulators
::send(ms.buf(),...); // send to network
// proc B
BYTE buf[4096];
::revc(buf,...); // receive from network
imystream ms(buf, dwSizeReceived); // dwSizeReceived = 6
int n;
short s;
ms >> n >> s; // n = 1, s = 2
// or ms >> int_b(n) >> short_b(s);
// result
data occupy 6 bytes memory. (4 for n(int), 2 for s(short))
send and receive 6 byte of memory.
memory layout:
00 00 00 01 00 02 // 6 byte
not
"000000010002" // 12 byte
this mean not string but binary.
how can I achieve it?
derive strstream or stream?
derive stream_buf?
I need your advice. 
thanks in advance.

What you are looking for is ::CreateStreamOnHGlobal.
You might consider SAFEARRAY(BYTE) as well (instead of).

The simplest way would be to deliminate all the data. In the case of streams, it would be easiest to use spaces, as the stream's default behaviour is to skip them.
ostringstream out;
int n = 1;
short s = 2;
out << n << ' ' << s;
istringstream in ( out.str () );
n = s = 0;
in >> n >> s;
cout << "n = " << n << ", s = " << s << endl;
cheers,

hi,
I'm developing ATL ActiveX DLL that used by ASP/VBScript client.
This server uses VARIANT as a parameter input :
HRESULT UseThis([in] VARIANT StringParam, [out, retval] long *ret);<br />
<br />
STDMETHODIMP CObj::UseThis(VARIANT StringParam, long *ret)<br />
{<br />
*ret = 1;<br />
<br />
if((StringParam.vt & VT_ARRAY) && (StringParam.vt & VT_BSTR))<br />
{ <br />
SAFEARRAY *pString = StringParam.parray;<br />
BSTR *bstrArray;<br />
CComBSTR bstrRet;<br />
SafeArrayAccessData(pString, (void**)&bstrArray);<br />
<br />
for(ULONG i = 0; i < pString->rgsabound->cElements; i++)<br />
{<br />
bstrRet = bstrArray[i]; <br />
}<br />
SafeArrayUnaccessData(pString);<br />
SafeArrayDestroy(pString);<br />
<br />
*ret = 0;<br />
}<br />
<br />
return S_OK;<br />
}
When I try to use the function from VB client it OK, but when used from ASP/VBScript client it just FAILED ! 
VBscript client running on IIS:
Dim obj<br />
Dim ret<br />
Dim strParam(2)<br />
<br />
Set obj = Server.CreateObject("MyATL.Obj") <br />
<br />
strParam(0) = "We"<br />
strParam(1) = "love"<br />
strParam(2) = "COM" <br />
<br />
ret = obj.UseThis(strParam)<br />
<br />
Response.Write "Result is : " & ret<br />
<br />
Set obj = Nothing
Thank u very very much in advance . Any advice, help and suggestions strongly aprreciated.
Regards.

This may help.

1. The following is wrong on several levels, it will create huge runtime problems. Please do not follow that example.
if (pvVariant)
delete pvVariant;
2. I am not familiar with CComVariant, but the next 2 lines look dangerous as well
CComVariant* pvVariant;
HRESULT hr = SafeArrayAccessData(StringParam.parray, (void**) &pvVariant);
safer approach fould be
VARIANT* pvVariant;

Funny, never had any, boundschecker, + lint never complained either. Why would it cause problems then? Or should you really leave a dangling pointer?

1. It is not dangling pointer. It is a pointer to the memory allocated by ::SafeArrayCreate.
It should only be deallocated by matching SafeArrayDestroy.
2. This memory most probably allocated through HeapAlloc delete can not be applied here
3. even if #1 and #2 were not true (they are). the object that is allocated is of type VARIANT, not CComVariant.

Looks like you're right about 1+2, but not about 3.

hi,
Thanx a lot for ur replay.
When use in ASP I got exception error,
in vb I got error :
Method '~' of object '~' failed

even in VB/ASP you need error handling

Hello everybody:
Does any body has used the .exe server type in .NET?
After doing so I add an ATL Control class and build.
The control works without problems when I show it in Explorer or in Test Container.
Now I insert it into a normal .exe MFC dialog based application and want to add an MFC Class From ActiveX Control for this control, but it is not part of the "available ActiveX control" list.
If I add it from the .exe file and the execute the application the following error appears.
CoCreateInstance of OLE control {7A55CBB2-5043-43F4-894F-CD656330617E} failed.
>>> Result code: 0x800401f9
>>> Is the control is properly registered?
Unhandled exception at 0x7c17f774 (mfc70d.dll) in CallerPrueba2.exe: User breakpoint.
The control is in the register and Test Container and IExplorer don´t complaint about this.
Any helping hint?
Thanks,Jesus.

Hello,
Here is the problem I have run into. I have an Atl Server Web App that is structured like the following:
\bin (dll's)
\include (common srf that get included)
\secure (srf pages that need to be under SSL, also needs access to inlcudes)
*.srf general srf pages that need access to the includes
Here is the problem, when one of the general srf files uses an include the path for the include internal handler is \bin\something.dll. The path used for the include is relative to the file that included it, not the include itself. Now when one of the secure pages includes the same file the handler path to the dll is wrong, it tries to load the library from ...secure\bin\something.dll. This causes an issue, if the handler paths were relative to the actual file being rendered all would be well. Has anybody run accross this before and have any suggestions? Seems like the alternative is assign SSL access on a file by file basis? Other than this issue ATL server seems like a slick framework!
Thanks for any suggestions!

Did someone already tried to use GDI+ in a ATL DLL ?
I tried to just initialize GDI+ in the InitInstance and deinitialize it in the ExitInstance but seems like registration of the dll fails ???
Jonathan de Halleux.

|
|
|

If the registration of the dll failed, your code probably crashed in some way. Can't really say what is wrong.. Did you check to see that your input parameters to the gdi+ initialization functions are correct?

|

In docs is stated that you should not call GdiplusStartup or GdiplusShutdown in DllMain or in any function that is called by DllMain ( for solutions look for "GdiplusStartup" in MSDN).
|
|
|
|

Thanks ! It's working now. I had putted GDI+ initialization in the CWinApp::InitInstance and, in fact, it was called by DllRegister...

I have created a couple interfaces that do not have a coclass. The coclass's for these interface exists in different dll's. When I build my project these interfaces do not included into my dll.. I've created a dummy class that implements these interfaces and that works. Is there any other way?
thanks in advance.

How about #import "your.dll"?

Dear folks,
Consider 2 components, COuter that implements IOuter and CInner that implements IInner. OTOH, CInner is *auto aggregated* within COuter. By auto aggregation I mean it's aggregated within the COuter class using COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY_AUTOAGGREGATE ATL's macro.
Moreover, I've got some regular member methods on CInner, say, SetId, SetOrigin, and the like. These method *are not* on my IInner interface, they are placed as member functions of the class (as mentioned above). The IInner contains "Get" accessors, say, GetId, GetOrigin and the like so that the user could *only* obtain some information using the IInner interface. She cannot set anything on the object, since there's no "Set" accessors on IInner.
Now, I'm going to use the objects mentioned above, so that I can call those Set accessors within the program and the user could successfully get these values using the Get methods on IInner. I tried the following:
IOuterPtr spOuter;
HRESULT hRes = COuter::_CreatorClass::CreateInstance(NULL, IID_IOuter, (void **)&spOuter);
if(FAILED(hRes))
return FALSE;
CComAggObject<cinner> *pInner;
hRes = CComAggObject<cinner>::CreateInstance(spOuter, &pInner);
if(FAILED(hRes))
return FALSE;
pInner->m_contained.SetId(24950);
IInnerPtr spInner;
hRes = pInner->QueryInterface(IID_IInner, (void **)&spInner);
if(FAILED(hRes))
return FALSE;
But this is basically wrong, since the Inner object is *auto aggregated* ! Do you have any idea how I can create such things? Something like ITCallInfoChangeEvent that gives the user some informaiton via it's Get accessors, (get_Call and get_Cause to name a few) and user cannot set anything on this object, since it's got no Set accessor.
Any help would be highly appreciated,
Cheers

How about plain old approach of simple object with two interfaces?
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I finally ended up in having 2 different interface on my inner object, one for initialization and the other one for Get accessors.

I'm at the edge right now. I've spent all afternoon trying to create a client for the simplest of COM components.
I started an ATL project library. I added a class Calculator with the interface ICalculator.
Now I just want to make a trivial client that calls the Add method. I can't get anything to work. I try to include "../Calculator.h" into the Client code but I get errors with DECLARE_PROTECT_FINAL_CONSTRUCT. Including _Utils.tlb isn't helping at all.
Can anyone point me to where I can find a simple tutorial for creating clients for ATL 7.0 com objects?

You're including the wrong file I'm afraid.
If your COM-dll projects is named XYZ, include the autogenerated XYZ.h. Also make sure you include XYZ_i.c somewhere, perhaps stdafx.cpp? It contains the GUIDs related to your interfaces and classes.
Either that or #import "XYZ.dll"
