Hi again,
Right, I have a solution - now I don't profess to being anything but an amateur when it comes to Flash so there may be a better way. But this works so here goes:
Firstly, I created a button in my test flash movie and entered this for the onclick handler:
on (click) {
fscommand("button1","");
}
See the help files for more info on the fscommand() script command
Now, in the HTML page we need the following:
1. Include a hidden INPUT field, e.g.
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" ID="mc" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=300 CODEBASE="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=2,0,0,11">
< PARAM NAME="Movie" VALUE="try1.swf">
<EMBED NAME="mc" SRC="try1.swf" WIDTH=100 HEIGHT=100 PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</OBJECT>
<input type='hidden' id='idClickFlashEvent' value=''>
2. Add Script handlers in the page - NOTE!!!!!!! the id/name of the OBJECT and EMBED must be the same as the prefix to the _FSCommand !!!!!!:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function mc_DoFSCommand(command, args) {
var oFS = document.getElementById("mc");
if (oFS) {
var oHidden = document.getElementById("idClickFlashEvent");
if (oHidden) {
oHidden.value = command;
oHidden.fireEvent("onclick");
}
}
}
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
<!--
Sub mc_FSCommand(ByVal command, ByVal args)
call mc_DoFSCommand(command, args)
end sub
-->
</SCRIPT>
So when you click in the Flash Player, it runs the ActionScript which then calls out to FSCommand externally, the external object (the web page) has to implement this by creating a function in VBScript (for IE at least) which MUST be named ID of object_FSCommand.
I've then called into the mc_DoFSCommand in JScript (my preferred scripting language) which looks for the hidden input field. Once we've got the object, I do two things:
1. Set the value of it to one of the params passed through (in this case it was just the word "button1"). I've done this as I presume you want to do more than just know a click was performed - so this gives the option to pass through what was clicked.
2. We fire an OnClick event.
Now the INPUT element doesn't have a onclick event as such, but the DOM fires this event through the active element (which in this case is the OBJECT element) - Hey presto the code I gave previously in this thread will now handle that onclick event 
If you want to gain access to the value we set above, they you can use the following code in your onclick event handler in C++:
void CWebTest1Dlg::OnHTMLClick()
{
MSHTML::IHTMLDocument2Ptr spDoc(m_ctlWeb1.GetDocument());
if (spDoc)
{
MSHTML::IHTMLElementPtr spElem = spDoc->activeElement;
if (spElem)
{
CString strTag = (LPCTSTR)spElem->tagName;
if (strTag == _T("OBJECT"))
{
MSHTML::IHTMLDocument3Ptr spDoc3 = spDoc;
if (spDoc3)
{
MSHTML::IHTMLElementPtr spElem2 = spDoc3->getElementById(_bstr_t("idClickFlashEvent"));
if (spElem2)
{
MSHTML::IHTMLInputElementPtr spElemHidden = spElem2;
if (spElemHidden)
{
AfxMessageBox(spElemHidden->value);
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
So there we have it. If you need any help or have more questions, I'll be happy to help
BTW, it does not have to be a HIDDEN input field, you could do it with say a BUTTON input field but then you'd have to have the display style attribute set to none to stop it being displayed, it would also influence your C++ onclick handler because now when the JScript fireEvent method is called, it will no longer be the OBJECT that fires the onclick, but the button has this DOES have a valid onclick event (phew). So I thought it easier to use the HIDDEN input element
Cheers,
Andy

Hi!
I am playing with that piece of code (C#):
Environment.CurrentDirectory=@"C:\Program Files\CDN OPT!MA\";<br />
<br />
CDNBase.ApplicationClass app=new CDNBase.ApplicationClass();<br />
<br />
CDNBase.ILogin l=app.LockApp(255,100,null);<br />
CDNBase.AdoSession sesja=l.CreateSession();<br />
<br />
CDNBase.IAdoCollection collection=(CDNBase.IAdoCollection)sesja.CreateObject("CDN.DokumentyHaMag",null);<br />
<br />
object obj=collection.AddNew(null);
Everything works well right now. All CDNBase.* are declared in interop modules. I need to cast object obj to its interface. so:
<br />
CDNAX.IDokumentHaMag doc=(CDNAX.IDokumentHaMag)obj;<br />
(CDNAX is interop module) here the InvalidCastException comes. The obj exposes this interface - i am sure 
I've tried to use InvokeMethod on this object using methods and properties from IDokumentHaMag, and it works well. What am I doing wrong?

But are you 100% sure that CDNAX.IDokumentHaMag is what you think it is?
Run the code using COM Trace[^]. It might provide you with some insight on what's wrong. Also, if you are writing your (or have the source for) COM stuff with ATL, try compiling it with by defining ATL_DEBUG_QI in your stdafx.h. It'll output a debug trace for each QueryInterface calls made on objects in that server.

Booohoo!

Hi
I think, the problem is inside COM - maybe something is missed or incorectly declared, but I have no access to the source  .
There are also more types in this namespace: DokumentHaMag (interface derived from IDokumentHaMag) and DokumentHaMagClass (derived from DokumentHaMag interface). When I try to create new object of class DocumentHaMagClass, another interesting exception is thrown: "Query Interface failed for object x" (I don't remember exact text of this exception - I have no access to the compiler right now).
Another interesting thing is creating RCW. I've tried to create RCW based on tlbs and dlls. Doing this in Visual Studio works well, but when I try to use tlbimp on CDNAX tlb, exception is thrown: "An element with the same key already exists in the Hashtable." with some GUID value.
I'm gona try the tool you linked, it may help me to find the problem.
thanks for your reply

Hi,
I am trying to return an object from a COM interface method. The method returns a _variant_t. I know how to retrieve int, short, dispatch, etc etc, but how do I simply retrieve an object from the _variant_t?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,
Sorry I didn't get your problem, do you want to return an object on a method through a variant or you want to retrieve the object fron the variant?
Can you refrase your question?
Fabian

Hi Fabian,
The method I am calling returns an object (a NOTESDOCUMENT to be specific). But it is returned as a _variant_t. I need to get it back to a NOTESDOCUMENT before I can perform any operations on it.
Thanks, Ben
|
|
|
|
|
You need to know how the object is encoded into the variant. Usually, a safearray of bytes can be used to encode an object (VT_ARRAY|VT_UI1) - in this case, you could simply extract the bytes and cast it to the relevant object structure.
|
|
|
|
|
Hi Ben,
Ok then, what you have to do to get the object is first to check the vt member of the _variant_t variable and see if it is an VT_UNKNOWN or VT_DISPATCH, according to that you will use the appropriated member to QI and get your object back.
Something like this
<br />
INotesDocument *pNtsDoc; <br />
HRESULT hr;<br />
if(vtReturned.vt & VT_UNKNOWN)<br />
hr = vtReturned.punkVal->QueryInterface(&pNtsDoc);<br />
else (vtReturned.vt & VT_DISPATCH)<br />
hr = vtReturned.pdispVal->QueryInterface(&pNtsDoc);<br />
else<br />
hr = E_INVALIDARG;
Don't forget to release the object once you finished using it.
Regards,
Fabian

Hey, thanks heaps. That worked. It was a VT_UNKNOWN.
Thanks again, Ben

hi
Try the following pseudo like code
In the interface method (called function) put:
pvarRtn->vt = LPDISPATCH<br />
pYourInterface->QueryInterface(IID_IDispatch, (void **) varID->ppdispVal);
In the client code (calling function) put:
CComQIPtr<IYourInterface> pYourInterface = varID.ppdispVal;

I'm getting an error that I'm trying to track down, but haven't been able to find any documentation on. I've successfully called CoCreateInstance on an object and am trying to call one of its member functions. When I do, a _com_error exception is thrown. ErrorMessage gives me the following:
IDispatch error #2494
I couldn't find anything in the MSDN nor online about IDispatch and this error number. As I'm a COM newbie, I presume I've messed things up
Let me know if you would like to see some code.
Thanks.

"Returns the string message for the HRESULT recorded within the _com_error object. If the HRESULT is a mapped 16-bit wCode, then a generic message “IDispatch error #<wcode>” is returned." -- documentation on _com_error::ErrorMessage.
"If the HRESULT is within the range 0x80040200 to 0x8004FFFF, the WCode method returns the HRESULT minus 0x80040200, else it returns zero." -- documentation on wCode.
I suspect this is an object-defined error - the Visual Basic documentation suggests adding a constant to the constant vbObjectError, which is 0x80040000, to get an error code - the meaning of which will obviously depend on the object itself.
You could try using the Description, Source and HelpFile functions on the _com_error object to see if the object has supplied more error information.
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

I guess I read too much documentation yesterday, because I should have found most of the things you just mentioned. I had tried HelpFile but it didn't have a value. The other two I hadn't tried.
It was an object-defined error code. I had misread the API documentation and was passing in a filename instead of a directory name. The Description field ended up really useful. As soon as I saw what it was, I knew what I had done wrong.
It works now! Thanks.

I'm just starting to learn COM and have found quite a few decent tutorials. However, none of them explain the easiest way to get the IID, CLISID, and ProgID. In fact, they all generally assume that it is known.
I have a 3rd party DLL that I'm working with. I have done a #import "dllname.dll" and have the generated C++ wrapper to look at.
In order to find the ProgID, I opened up the OLE/COM Object viewer, and navigated to the library in question. Then I found the class names that I was interested in. After having the class names, I went to regedit and pulled up HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID\<id> by doing a find on the class name, then looked at the ProgID entry.
At this point, I can call CLSIDFromProgID and then CoCreateInstance successfully using a CComPtr<IClassType>. But, if I still don't know how to get at the IID that I would need should I call CoCreateInstance directly without a CComPtr.
What's the best way to get at the IID? I also presume that there's a better way to get at the CLSID and ProgID?
|
|
|
|
|
IID generally follows this rule,
interface name IMyInterface so iid is IID_IMyInterface
CLSID_IMyInterface.
God is Real, unless declared Integer.
|
|
|
|
|
I had tried that as a that's the convention that many of the examples that I had found used, but when I looked through the .tlh and .tli files that were generated from the #import, there is no reference to either CLSID or IID anywhere in those two files, thus the compiler complains about an undeclared identifier. Is that something that would typically be defined in the dll so that a #import would pull it in?
Thanks again.
|
|
|
|
|
did you put named_guids in the #import statement ?
God is Real, unless declared Integer.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks! I had missed that attribute. I noticed the namespace ones and some others, but didn't even see that one. That will make things much easier.
Thanks again.

Hi all,
I am working on this from last few days, but no success yet  .
I am creating two activeX control in SetClientsite of another activeX control. using AtlAxCreateControl() function.
The two inner controls are clearly visible me in IE( container for the outer activeX control).
My question is even if i am able to create these control. how can I control
these child ActiveX from Parent ActiveX. because the AtlAxCreateControl() does not return anything about the control which I can be keep as a refernce in the outer activeX. or in Simple term how the other component knows about the inner component.
2. How to resize the two child controls?
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance,
Abhishake

MSDN -----> Article 'Write ActiveX Controls Using Custom Interfaces Provided by ATL 3.0, Part III'.
The above articale would expain you what is happening behind the scene or more simply you would use connection points for interaction between the control and container.

While adding these lines
coclass FullServ
{

interface ICallFactory;
}
it throughs the following error
