No, they take an HWND (as you're doing in your code) or, if NULL, use 0 (the desktop's HWND - the top-level window).
Keep in mind that the container must implement the interface your QI'ing for, and that it has to give you a pointer to it somehow (IOBjectWithSite is but one of many ways - including the infinite possibilities that you can define). Again, the container has to support QI'ing for that interface. The best thing is too support various OLE interfaces when appropriate. Most containers like IE, Word, Excel, etc., support these interfaces. It's all basically speghetti work - interfaces implemented and supported strewn all over and the container and the component must understand each other somehow. Many times, ActiveX controls will support several interfaces that accomplish the same thing (or at least share a common subset) so that they can be contained in various containers taking a chance that the containers support at least one of the interfaces the ActiveX control implements.
If you are using a Microsoft container, there should be documentation in the PSDK about what interfaces it supports. If it's a non-Microsoft container but still third-party to you, I would hope they would have similar documentation. If you wrote it, then make it support whatever (either pre-defined or define your own) you like. If it can contain practically any ActiveX control, again looking at and implement the various OLE interfaces, IPersist* interfaces, and various others is always safe. If it's pretty much a custom solution, the latter suggestion would probably be overkill.

Getting closer, but no cigar yet. I passed in the parent like so:
void __stdcall CMattDlgCmpnt::HtmlMsgBox( HWND wndParent, BSTR strmsg )<br />
{<br />
CWnd* pWnd = new CWnd();<br />
pWnd = CWnd::FromHandle(wndParent);<br />
<br />
CNormalDlg *wndNormalDlg = new CNormalDlg( pWnd );<br />
wndNormalDlg->DoModal();<br />
}
It seems that the class is failing to create its own m_hWnd:
{CNormalDlg hWnd=0x00000000}
This may be a question for the C++ board but if you want to tkae a shot at it I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi ,
I suggest u too create ur dialog using ATL CAxDialogImpl Temnplate class,
for this u just have to go to insert menu , click New ATL Object ,
under Miscleneaous button u will find Dialog ,
insert into ur project,
Actually in ATL contains several template classes for allowing u to use window.
using CAxDialogImpl this template class u can easily create model or modeless dialog box.
Just by making ur dialog class object and DoModal with it

I tried to add ATL to my dll but it says that ATL can only be added to regular MFC dll. Mine is an extension dll.
Thanks for all the help guys, but I think I am in over my head here. I thought that once I got the basics down I could jump right and use MFC. All the books I have don't show any examples similar to what I am doing. I ordered some books on COM, MFC, and ATL today...

Hello Srivastava
Thanks a lot for ur help . I am doing a outlook addin project which i found from the cp site http://www.codeproject.com/com/outlookaddin.asp?target=office2k
and when we execute and register we get two buttons added to the outlook's bar . when we click it we get a message box only . so i need to add a dialog so i found ur reply to a person demanding the same thing ...i did derive a calss from CDialog and tried to DoModal() it but it simple did not work so i looked into ur advise and did the following...
Insert new ATL --> Miscelaneous --->Dialog ...simply here i gave a new dialog class name and got a dialog class derived from CAxDialogImpl ..and i did the following ...
added a memeber of this class
Cnewdailog :public CAxDialogImpl
and
in the CAddin class
i addeed
Cnewdialog *dlg;
and in the OnButtonClick() of cpp file
{
dlg=new Cnewdialog();
HWND hwnd = ::GetActiveWindow();
dlg->DoModal(hwnd,NULL);
} ...now superb when i click the addin buttons on the outlook 's bar i get this dialog fired ...but the problem is i am not able to add members to the controls of the dialog ...coz i want to get some user name , password to be retrived from the dialog so that i could use them to check against a DB table ...but simple i am not able to use thye classwizard to get memebrs for dialog's controls as we do it normal MFC apps ...but my app is ATL COM with MFC support ...so to be precise i have three edit boxes in the CAxDialogImpl dilaog box ( cnewdialog) ...these three's valuses are to be retrived from the control when we DoModal()==IDOK ...ok so please help me out how i could do it ...
thanks a lot
withregards

Hi
Actually MFC wizard wont work in ATL case . so u have to manually code to get the , instance of the
control placed on ur dialog box.
u can use GetDlgItem(UINT nID) API for that
in MFC this API returns the CWnd * , whic u can type cast into ur Control Class,
but in ATL this API returns u the HWND of that control placed at ur Dialogbox.
So do the follwoing steps inside your ATL (CAxDialogImpl Derived) DialogBox class
HWND hwnd1=GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1), where IDC_EDIT1 , is the Resource ID of ur control .
CEdit edit1;
edit1.Attach(hwnd1);
now this CEdit object,can directly advert to ur Edit box placed on ur dialog box
now u can use CEdit class methods to get or set the text like
CString str
edit1.GetWindowText(str) , or edit1.SetWindowText("hello");
This will allow u to access ur control completely

hi sri
Thanks a lot . I did the following . as i am building a release version i wanted to check whether the control's text is retrived or not . so i wanted to display a text right before DoModal so i did the follwoing ...
ndlg=new CNewDialog();
HWND wnd=::GetActiveWindow();
HWND h=ndlg->GetDlgItem(IDC_NAME);
CEdit *e=new CEdit(); // i treid with simple CEdit e; then switched to CEdit* e
e->Attach(h);
CString s="hello";
e->SetWindowText(_T("hello"));
ndlg->DoModal(wnd,NULL);
but the text hello is not displayed in the control ..aslo i tried the following to test the retrivel of text from edit box ,....
if(ndlg->Domodl(wnd,NULL)==IDOK)
{
HWND wd=ndlg->GetDlgItem(IDC_NAME);
CEdit ned;
ned.Attach(wd);
CString str;
ned.GetWindowText(str);
//AfxMessageBox(str,0,0);
MessageBox(NULL, str, _T("OnClickButton2"), MB_OK);
}
but the message box is not displaying the retrived string --str -. so i am still confused what i could do ...
thanks for u r advise
bye

Hi there,
Actually , u r commiting a mistake,
U have tried to get the Window handle of your edit box before Doing DOModal,
that means , ur controls are still not created
ndlg=new CNewDialog();
HWND wnd=::GetActiveWindow();
HWND h=ndlg->GetDlgItem(IDC_NAME);
CEdit *e=new CEdit(); // i treid with simple CEdit e; then switched to CEdit* e
e->Attach(h);
CString s="hello";
e->SetWindowText(_T("hello"));
in the above code , u have just created an instance of your dialog class, but controls are still not created , so setting text wil not work
and the same thing u r doing after DoModal
when OK Button is pressed ur dialog box is again closed ,and for that reason ur Control Box have also left Memory , i mean now they are not there , so when u try to get text when Dialog is closed from the EDit box will not work again.
So try to do these things in your Dilaog class , i mean try to set text, in InitDialog Method of your dialog class,
try to create some member variable in your class , get The text of ur edit box in OnOK method and then u will be able to access
I Hope I am making myself clear!!

hi srivarstava
exactly i did it before u mailed me !!!! thanks a lot !!!
what i did was
i opened the CNewDialog.h and added the folowoing in the onOk handler ( ur right after OnOk the dialog leaves memory !! so how can i get the control data persistent ? thats a mistake ) ..
LRESULT OnOK(WORD wNotifyCode, WORD wID, HWND hWndCtl, BOOL& bHandled)
{
HWND wnd=GetDlgItem(IDC_NAME);
CEdit ed;
ed.Attach(wnd);
CString str;
ed.GetWindowText(str);
st=str; // this st is a member i added to the class newdialog coz i am able to access it from outside the class by typing CString mystr= dlg-->st ..cool..
EndDialog(wID);
return 0;
}
now i got i t...
thanks for ur continued support ...and one more thing ...how can i add a Explorer bar to be fired when i click button ?? I want to open a site www.google.com when i click a button ...and one more thing ...i have office 9 so that in the atdafx.h i am hardcoding the dlls needed as
#import "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\mso9.dll" rename_namespace("Office"), named_guids
using namespace Office;
#import "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSOUTL9.olb" rename_namespace("Outlook"), named_guids, raw_interfaces_only
using namespace Outlook;
but the same dll is not ok for office2002 ..it uses outlook 10 ..so i need to have a functionlaity withwhich i can find whihc version of dll is present in the registry and /..and i have to accoringly #import the necessary dll ( like mso10.dll and msoutl10.dll ) ..so help me in this regard also ...one more ..i am going toadd a nwe Creordset class from this ATL COM proj ...any advise on possible prob i will face when i link with DB ??

Hi
I have one tiny question?
Wich header file do I must include for CEdit object?
I included <afxwin.h> but I get an error
***\VC98\MFC\INCLUDE\afxv_w32.h(14) : fatal error C1189: #error : WINDOWS.H already included. MFC apps must not #include <windows.h>
If I dont include <afxwin.h> I get error of undefined member
'CEdit' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

Just pass the HWND to your CNormalDlg constructor. Inside the constructor when you either use a wrapper class or create the window manually (via RegisterWindow then CreateWindow, or their extended equivalents) you pass the parent HWND that was passed to your constructor. If this is an MFC class - and it appears to be - and you're deriving from CDialog - and your class name indicates such - then call the base class constructor for CDialog which takes a parent CWnd. Don't forget to call the base class constructor, though.

i guess i have answered your this question in some other thread...
this Line should solve ur problem. Just put it at the start of each method
where you are invoking dialogs, basically every where if you are using MFC in COM
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState( ));
The World is getting smaller and so are the people.

Hi all,
I’m a student programmer working on the last industry project of my program.
The project requires a custom wizard to call the native Visual Studio wizard (Data adapter configuration wizard) via the DTE.LaunchWizard method. My problem is that when my wizard executes the LaunchWizard method, I receive a ‘The Parameter is Incorrect’ error. I have used the documentation on MSDN, and scoured the internet for related information, but no mater what I try, I can not get rid of that error. Have any of you used this method? If you have, could you tell me where I’m going wrong, or post the correct usage of the required parameters?
Much Thanks!

The input VARIANT parameter can be more complicated than you assume. For example, for array with VARIANT elements you can get the VARIANT with following vt-field:
VT_ARRAY | VT_VARIANT - array - vtArray.parray should be used
VT_BYREF | VT_ARRAY | VT_VARIANT - reference to array - vtArray.pparray should be used
Instead of "SafeArrayCopy(*(vtArray.pparray), &psa);" I would use
SAFEARRAY * psa = (vtArray.vt & VT_BYREF) ? *(vtArray.pparray) : vtArray.parray;
With best wishes,

I am new to COM and am building a simple MFC dll to get things going. I have everything working except that when I include DllMain in my code the linker balks and tells me that dllmain is already defined in my .obj file.
Any ideas? TIA.
Matt (Padawan Learner)

Greets,
If I'm not mistaken, MFC has its own DllMain hidden deep down inside. Perhaps you should find it (since the code is included) and mimic what it does inside in order to support MFC in your COM object. However, this might already have been done in the past.
Regards,
Joe

Thanks.
That got me thinking that my project was not setup as it should be. And low and behold it was not. I needed to be using a MFC Extension dll. Everything works great now. Dumb mistake, but like I said, I am new to COM(and to dlls).

Hi:
I have a com+ component installed using a application proxy on a remote computer. By the way, I have no problems when running the local client. I'm using a VB.NET Client.
The problem occurs when I try to execute a method on the remote object:
--------------------------------------------------------------
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred
in Client.exe
Additional information: QueryInterface for interface
MyComponentLib.IMyInterface failed.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Interestingly, The instantiation of the remote object by CreateObject succeeds and the application is activated on the server machine, i.e., I can see the rolling icon animation.
Activating proxy in OLEVIEW also succeeds.
The security is set to Interactive at this point.
If I use a VB6 client I get 'Run-Time Error 424 Object Required' when I call CreateObject!!
This is a very simple COM+ app but I'm really stuck!
I'll appreciate any help...
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
Greets,
Is the interface for the COM+ application which is installed on the server also available to your application on the client machine? Did you export the application from the server and install it on the client machine from which your application is running?
When I refer to application, you can install your component in COM+ on the server machine, then use COM+ services to export an MSI package that will install the necessary information on the client needed to make the call remotely.
Regards,
Joe

The proxy appliction was exported from the server appliations as MSI package which was then installed on the client machine.
The local client works fine.
What I have seen in the debugger is that the remote client can instantiate the component. The query to object's IUnknown interface succeeds, i.e., returns S_OK. However after that what happens I don't know - I can't see it in the debugger.

How is your client calling CoInitializeSecurity?
Are your client and server using the same or different SIDs?
