COM's IDL follows C's convention: arguments are always copied (pass-by-value). Where it gets tricky is that the value copied might be a pointer, simulating pass-by-reference.
In this case, you'll want to pass net and eltype ByVal, while id and h should be passed ByRef.
However, if you have a type library, why aren't you using tlbimp?

I'm trying to write my own customer SyncMgr component. I'm having some trouble loading up the ISyncMgrRegister object. I'm a little new to COM so I'm probably missing osmething obvious here. This is MC++ code. Can someone point me in the correct direction.
<br />
#include "stdafx.h"<br />
#include "mobsync.h"<br />
#using <mscorlib.dll><br />
<br />
using namespace System;<br />
<br />
int _tmain()<br />
{<br />
HRESULT hr = CoInitialize(NULL);<br />
<br />
if ( FAILED(hr) )<br />
{<br />
Console::WriteLine(S"Cannot Initilaize com");<br />
goto error;<br />
}<br />
<br />
ISyncMgrRegister *reg = NULL;<br />
<br />
hr = CoCreateInstance(<br />
CLSID_SyncMgr,<br />
NULL,<br />
CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER,<br />
IID_ISyncMgrRegister,<br />
reinterpret_cast<void**>(reg));<br />
if ( FAILED(hr) )<br />
{<br />
Console::WriteLine(S"Could not create an instance of the Sync Mgr");<br />
goto error;<br />
}<br />
<br />
reg->Release();<br />
<br />
Console::WriteLine(S"Press Enter to Exit");<br />
Console::ReadLine();<br />
return 0;<br />
<br />
error:<br />
<br />
Console::WriteLine(S"Press enter to exit");<br />
Console::ReadLine();<br />
return 1;<br />
}

Hi Jared,
I saw your post and was looking for some help, I am trying to write a Sync Manager component as well and I am having great difficulty with this as I am fairly new to C++ mostly VB, but I really need to hook into this interface, I to start with just wanted to get a hook in working, i.e register for synchronization and that sort of thing, do you have good samples you could share or point me in the right direction ?
Cheers
Michael

 Hi guys. I am having trouble in using a ATL Component interface (Activex Server component created in VC++) with vbscript on a ASP page. I can successfully create the interface in the asp page and successfully set & retrieve property values and call some methods. However, when one particular method is called i get the following error "Error in loading .dll : " followed by the appropriate method name.
This method returns a Recordset and uses ADO to query a table in a SQL database. This method works fine when called from within vba,VB or C++, it only complains when being called in VBscript in an asp page. I have checked the permissions of the .dll and all seems ok. Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this? Any help is gratefully received.
Thanks,
Peter G Welch

Hi guys,
an application we're developing load COM objects during its execution. These COMs can be found in any location (local PC or remote PC). Now my question is, there will be problems on doing that?
Should I add the linker option /SWAPRUN:NET when linking the COM project to allow Windows load the COM from the remote PC without paging?
Thanx for your reponses,
Fabio

How would i exposs a class library as a COM object. i look through the SDK Docs and still a little lost.
[ ...what to put in here? ]
public class MediaStatusSink : IMediaStatusSink
{....
}
I just need help setting up the class attributes,
here is what im trying to do:
A sink is a COM component that supports the IMediaStatusSink interface and is registered as a member of the CATID_MediaStatusSink {FCB0C2A3-9747-4C95-9D02-820AFEDEF13F} component category.
in the registry editor at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Component Categories\{FCB0C2A3-9747-4c95-9d02-820AFEDEF13F} i have:
(default) REG_SZ (value not set)
409 REG_SZ Media Status Sink

I'm using a COM API for a VoIP Voice phone. I can interrogate it fine using the following code...
IVOIPDevice* pISL = NULL;<br />
HRESULT hr;<br />
<br />
hr = CoCreateInstance(<br />
CLSID_VOIPDevice,
NULL,
CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,<br />
IID_IVOIPDevice,
(void**) &pISL);
<br />
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))<br />
{<br />
TRACE("SUCCEED!!!!\n");<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
TRACE("SUCCEED NOT!!!!\n");<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
<br />
pISL->etc etc etc
The interface for the events is _IVOIPDeviceEvents. How can I act on these events? I'd rather not use ATL if at all possible.
I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe

You'll need to implement _IVOIPDeviceEvents as a dispatch interface by implementing IDispatch. If you create a dual interface, you can get the OS to implement IDispatch for you by calling CreateStdDispatch.
You then need to give your dispatch pointer to the object by asking it for the appropriate connection point - an object that implements IConnectionPoint. First you QueryInterface for IConnectionPointContainer, then use that interface's FindConnectionPoint method to get the IConnectionPoint. You can then call Advise, passing in your dispatch interface pointer. Remember the returned cookie, so that you can later call Unadvise to clean up.

Hi everyone,
I m a beginner in COM.
I have created one .idl file. while compiling it with midl.exe, I m getting the error as :MIDL1001 : cannot open input file oaidl.idl
I have no idea, why it can't open the oaidl.idl file. can anyone, please help me on this...
here is the code of my .idl file:
import "oaidl.idl";
[
object,
uuid(1E2F24ED-0317-4990-A29D-55FB73908C68)
]
interface IFirstInterface : IUnknown
{
HRESULT DoSomething();
};
[
uuid(4619C849-67DC-4f24-B5D2-0E215B1DBD6A),
version(1.0)
]
library FirstTypeLib
{
importlib("stdole32.tlb");
[
uuid(C69DA526-39B4-4810-803B-43A9F9AC5376)
]
coclass FirstComponent
{
[default] interface IFirstInterface;
};
};
Expecting some early reply.
thanks,
Ashok

What's your MIDL command line, and your INCLUDE environment variable?
It looks like it can't find the imported IDL file, which is normally in the INCLUDE directory, by default \Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Include or in the VC include directory, \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include.

yeah, for tht I have set the environment variable too.
now if I type PATH in DOS prompt, following is the output:
PATH=C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include;
but still the same problem.
thanks,
Ashok

But it isn't meant to go in PATH, it's meant to go in INCLUDE...
|
|
|
|

You can either set the INCLUDE environment variable as appropriate, or use the /I option to indicate directories to be searched.
If you're launching MIDL as part of a Visual C++ project build, it should inherit the same include directories settings from Tools > Options > Directories (VC6) or Tools > Options > Projects > VC++ Directories (VS.NET). These are usually set correctly.
VC6 configures the include directories (the INCLUDE environment variable) for the copy of the Platform SDK that it installs, when it installs, if requested. VS.NET does not automatically do this - to set the appropriate directories, run vsvars32.bat (in Common7\Tools under the VS.NET directory), or use the "Visual Studio .NET Command Prompt" shortcut in the start menu (under Visual Studio .NET Tools).

I have done tht too. but still the problem exists.
I am giving everything in details, I have done here. please let me know, if you can find out, where I have gone wrong.
1. in VC++6.0, I have created a text file and saved it as FirstSrv.idl. content of the file is:
import "oaidl.idl";<br />
[<br />
object,<br />
uuid(1E2F24ED-0317-4990-A29D-55FB73908C68)<br />
]<br />
interface IFirstInterface : IUnknown<br />
{<br />
HRESULT DoSomething();<br />
};<br />
<br />
[<br />
uuid(4619C849-67DC-4f24-B5D2-0E215B1DBD6A),<br />
version(1.0)<br />
]<br />
library FirstTypeLib<br />
{<br />
importlib("stdole32.tlb");<br />
[<br />
uuid(C69DA526-39B4-4810-803B-43A9F9AC5376)<br />
]<br />
coclass FirstComponent<br />
{<br />
[default] interface IFirstInterface;<br />
};<br />
};
2. in Tools->Options->Directories
i. under include files
C:\PROGRAM FILES\DXSDK\INCLUDE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SDK\INCLUDE\PRERELEASE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SDK\INCLUDE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\VC98\INCLUDE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\VC98\MFC\INCLUDE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\VC98\ATL\INCLUDE
C:\WIN32
ii. under library files
C:\PROGRAM FILES\DXSDK\LIB
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\VC98\LIB
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO\VC98\MFC\LIB
C:\WIN32
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SDK\LIB
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SDK\LIB\PRERELEASE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT SDK\INCLUDE
3. I have 3 copies of oaidl.idl in my system. they are under the following directories:
i. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include
ii. C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Include\prerelease
iii.C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Include
Hope, I have made everything clear on whtz goin on this side. and when I try the following:
MIDL FirstSrv.idl
result comes as:
Microsoft (R) MIDL Compiler Version 5.01.0164
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1991-1997. All rights reserved.
Processing .\FirstSrv.idl
FirstSrv.idl
midl : command line error MIDL1001 : cannot open input file oaidl.idl
Hope u r clear now on whtz goin this side.
Expecting ur kind response.
regards,
Ashok

In your command window, have you run VCVARS32.BAT ?
This will set stuff like LIB and INCLUDE for you, although it may not be 100% correct, it will have all the VC++ directories.

Hi All,
I have a windows service installed on Machine having XP2 Service pack 2 OS.
I am using this call in Run() Method,
hr = CoInitializeSecurity(NULL, -1, NULL, NULL,
RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_NONE, RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE, NULL,
EOAC_NONE, NULL);
If i access this service from other computer it gives access denied error.
If i disable Firewall security from Control Panel->Windows Firewall,and in Dcomcnfg add ANONYMOUS user and give it full access,
access denied problem goes.
Why do i want to add ANONYMOUS in Dcomconfg even i disable Firewall security??
if i dont want to do all above settings but still my service should be accessed from other computer ,what should i do,is there any way for this??
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have developed an application, which supports File save / read logic using Structure Storage (mentioned on this site). I am storing very complicated structure in the file. Now I want to support typical file versioning system. So that even if I changed (add new elements in present structure), till it should be able to support backward file reading capabilities.
Does anyone has come accross such senario? How the design was done in this senario? My present design is - It will call say GetDataFor130() or GetDataFor100() (where 130 means ver 1.30, 100 means ver 1.00.) GetDataFor130() will internally call GetDataFor100() and then read or write the additional elements. So backward compatibility is maintained with minimum code complexity.
Thanks & Regards,
Anonymous

helpstring("IMediaStatusSession Interface"),
dual,
oleautomation]
the best i could do so far learing from the SDK is:
[Guid(A70D81F2-C9D2-4053-AF0E-CDEA39BDD1AD),
InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.????????),
helpstring("IMediaStatusSession Interface")]
I just need help with the "dual" and "oleautomation"?
where can i find info about this in the SDK Documentation? or even better can some one fix what i done so far.
