hi
I am working killing a process using WMI iam using the following code .

HRESULT hres;

BSTR ClassName = SysAllocString(L"Win32_Process");

/* YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE NUMBER VALUE OF THE HANDLE
(PROCESS ID) TO THE CORRECT VALUE OF THE PROCESS YOU
ARE TRYING TO TERMINATE (this provides a path to
the class instance you are tying to terminate). */
BSTR ClassNameInstance = SysAllocString(
L"Win32_Process.Handle=\"\1418\"");

_bstr_t MethodName = (L"Terminate");
BSTR ParameterName = SysAllocString(L"Reason");

IWbemClassObject* pClass = NULL;
hres = m_pIWbemService->GetObject(ClassName, 0, NULL, &pClass, NULL);

IWbemClassObject* pInParamsDefinition = NULL;
IWbemClassObject* pOutMethod = NULL;
hres = pClass->GetMethod(MethodName, 0,
&pInParamsDefinition, &pOutMethod);

if (FAILED(hres))
{
cout << "Could not get the method. Error code = 0x"
<< hex << hres << endl;
}

IWbemClassObject* pClassInstance = NULL;
hres = pInParamsDefinition->SpawnInstance(0, &pClassInstance);

// Create the values for the in parameters
VARIANT pcVal;
VariantInit(&pcVal);
V_VT(&pcVal) = VT_I4;

// Store the value for the in parameters
hres = pClassInstance->Put(L"Reason", 0,
&pcVal, 0);

// Execute Method
hres = m_pIWbemService->ExecMethod(ClassNameInstance, MethodName, 0,
NULL, pClassInstance, NULL, NULL);

if (FAILED(hres))
{
cout << "Could not execute method. Error code = 0x"
<< hex << hres << endl;
VariantClear(&pcVal);
SysFreeString(ClassName);
SysFreeString(MethodName);
pClass->Release();
pInParamsDefinition->Release();
m_pIWbemService->Release();
//pLoc->Release();
CoUninitialize();
return 1; // Program has failed.
}

it is working fine ,but here iam gicing the Process ID which has to be terminated like 1418.

Instead of ProcessID i want to use process Name like CAlc.exe or notepad.exe

but when IAm tring to change the code with the process name like

SysAllocString(
L"Win32_Process.Name=\"\notepad.exe\"");

notepad is not terminating . can you please help me to solve it.

Thanks in Advance

A quesion about IE7

pItem1Ptr->put_innerHTML(L"");

The code above is to change something in the HTML.

It works well in IE6,I can get the gif picture successfully.

But when I run my code in IE7, this code can't work........and I found that, if I replace c:\\float.gif into http://somesite/somepic.gif It can work nice. So I think there maybe something changed in IE7, can anyone tell me how to show my c:\\float.gif picture in IE7????

Try using "file:///c:/float.gif" (as you should if file paths are used).

regarding connection points

Hi All,

Recently I got some doubts regarding Connection Points. Please replay the mail, if you know the answers.

1. What are the main drabacks (except implementation difficulties). Suppose client requested the server for some operation and doing its wone work. In the time of server doing work, if some problem occurred on the server. Then how server inform the client saying that operation failed.

My doubt is how server inform client sink, when server fails to do the operation.

2. Why Microsft intraduced delegates, while we are having Connection points. I know delegates are type safe, object oriented. But why elemenated Connection points.

3. VB internally uses Sink Map, IConnectionSimpleImple or not.

Thanks

OLE Afx Control erros

earlgraham13-Nov-06 7:47

13-Nov-06 7:47

Have a debug failure when creating a window of my COM 3d imager. I think its an issue with passing my OLE control through my sub classes.

When I created my 3d imager window inside my application…
bRet = m_pSatMap->Create("Internal_DB_SAT_Map", 0, Rect, pMainFrm, ID_SAT_MEM_MAP, NULL, FALSE);

I got an assertion error from ENSURE(afxOccMgr != NULL)”. After researching this I found that this would occur when AfxEnableControlContainer() was not call. However it is in my main but not in my subclass where the Create is called. So I added it to that class, and now I have another assertion problem. Now “ASSERT(pWndCtrl->m_pCtrlSite == NULL)” is failing.

I think I’m looking for a site that speaks to how to pass afx control to classes inside an application.

Thanks for any help

BSTR thru COM does not seem to be passed.....

morenz10-Nov-06 9:17

Hi everybody,
I've got a strange thing using my DCOM application(s).

I wrote both server and client, and one of the last issues I can't resolve is the following:

On the server machine (EXE Server with MFC) I have the following class method (with implementation):

STDMETHODIMP CAugVisionEngine::ReadText(BSTR CharSetName, int pTop, int pLeft, int pHeight, int pWidth, BSTR *OcrString)<br />
{<br />
	AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState())<br />
...

[code omitted here for brevity]
...

	char* strTemp = (char*) malloc(sizeof(OcrReport_tmp->readString)+1);<br />
 	strcpy(strTemp, OcrReport_tmp->readString); <br />
 	*OcrString = W2BSTR(A2W(strTemp));<br />
<br />
	return S_OK;<br />
}

where the last parameter, the BSTR, is the return value of the function (just [out], not [out, retval])

When I call the function from the client (for now MFC application, just to test, but the release will be a console application), in a way like this:

	BSTR OCRBSTR;<br />
<br />
	pIVE->ReadText ("C:\\Patterns\\3260\\05042800\\1235.abc",40, 249, 48, 83, &OCRBSTR);

I get that the server constructs the BSTR correctly (at least, it seems to do it, since a logfile is populated correctly), but my client retrieves nothing...

I'm stuck...
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Morenz.

As you said, this value you are writing in log file, isn't it?

yes, I'm writing it in a file as a string. When I debug it, I see that the BSTR has the correct value, too...

For now I workarounded it, making the client open the file directly on the server and getting the string itself, but it's not elegant...

COM Inheritance

Inactive Cargo9-Nov-06 23:37

9-Nov-06 23:37

Hello,

I can't figure out how to derive a class from an interface with pure functions side by side a class that implements those functions and use those functions in place of the pure ones. That is:

interface BaseInterface : public IUnknown 
{ 
        // BaseInterface 



}; 


interface DerivedInterface : public BaseInterface 
{ 
        // DerivedInterface 
        STDMETHOD_( INT, AddNumbers )( INT LHS, INT RHS ) PURE; 


}; 


class BaseInterfaceImpl : public BaseInterface 
{ 
        // IUnknown 
        STDMETHOD_( ULONG, AddRef )() 
        { 
                return S_OK; 
        } 

        STDMETHOD_( ULONG, Release )() 
        { 
                return S_OK; 
        } 


        STDMETHOD( QueryInterface )( REFIID RefIID, LPVOID *ppObject ) 
        { 
                return S_OK; 
        } 



}; 


class DerivedInterfaceImpl : public DerivedInterface, public BaseInterfaceImpl 
{ 
public: 
        // DerivedInterfaceImpl 
        STDMETHOD_( INT, AddNumbers )( INT LHS, INT RHS ) 
        { 
                return LHS + RHS; 
        } 

        // TestInstance should have AddRef, Release and QueryInterface 



};

MSVC gives me the error:

c:\documents and settings\todd\my documents\visual studio 
2005\projects\whitehall\toying with c++\toying.cpp(72) : error C2259: 
'DerivedInterfaceImpl' : cannot instantiate abstract class 
        due to following members: 
        'HRESULT IUnknown::QueryInterface(const IID &,void **)' : is

I've got the source code of my dummy-test scenario at
http://lanlocked.net/junk/toying.cpp. I managed to get it to work by
deriving DerivedInterface from BaseInterfaceImpl but I don't see this
as a solution, rather a workaround (I'd like to keep the interfaces
"clean" and 100% pure). If it's impossible to do what I'm trying to do,
what are the other methods of inheriting in COM?

Thanks in advance,
Todd

It is because, compiler doesn't find definition of this function. Dont combine it with one in BaseInterfaceImpl.

shell drag and drop between namespace extension and windows

sathink8-Nov-06 5:05

sathink

8-Nov-06 5:05

i am working on a project which is a namespace extension which supports drag and drop of file between windows folder and our namespace folders. The technique used to drag and drop a file from our namespace folder to windows folder is like this:
1. when drag is initiated,
a)details of the dragged object are stored in a global variable.
b)IDataObject(which supports 2 formats-CF_HDROP for between windows and private format for between our namespace folders) is created and drag loop is initiated by calling DoDragDrop().
2. In IDataobject::Getdata, for CF_HDROP format, a temp dir is created and the path is written to clipboard.
3. we have a copy hook handler which actually does the work of copying the file from namespace folder to windows folder.The Copycallback method of copyhookhandler gets the info from global variable and puts into windows folder and returns IDNO.

The product is working on thousands of systems correctly but on a perticular system with xp its not working.
log files show that IDataObject::GetData() is called n times with CF_HDROP , temp folder is created and folder path is written to clipboard. But ICopyHook::copyCallback() is not called.Deleting the copyhook handler registry key should create the temp folder(as we have placed this folder path on the clip board in IDataObject::Getdata() and our copyhook handler is not present) in drop target but its not happening here.

what might have gone wrong?can anyone help me?

Using Interface type from the imported TLB (Attributed COM)

arun14058-Nov-06 0:50

arun1405

8-Nov-06 0:50

I am writing a attributed COM component in Visual Studio .NET 2003 (VC++ 7.1). For reusing the types defined in some other TLB, I want to import this TLB that I do by inserting the following line in stdafx.h.

[ importlib("test.tlb") ];

This 'importlib' attribute places this line in the library block of the IDL file. However, now if some of the interface methods in my COM component want to return an interface defined in test.tlb, it gives me IDL compilation error.

Perhaps, it is probably since the automatic IDL generation by the compiler puts all the interface declarations of my component outside the library block, and the importlib attribute generates the importlib line inside the library block... and, so the interface declarations of my component are not able to recognize the interface types defined in the imported type library.

Can anyone suggest me if I am importing the library in a wrong way, or if there is any other solution to it ?

Thanks & Regards,
Arun
