My companbion CD is cracked in 4 pieces. Its of no use to me. Believe it or not, but the MSPress website has no information on "Inside COM". I did a search for the Book, its not listed, I did a search for the author, he's not listed, I did a search by topic, and under COM, the book is not listed. I did an ISBN search, and no results. WHAT THE FARK?
ANyways, if you would be kind enough, could someone please zip up the cd contents and email them to me? Thank you very much. I will now forever know not to pile my programming books on top of eachother without first removing the companion cd's.
my book order for "essential com" is in the process of going through management, i expect an answer sometime after my projects deadline.

Yep, I read that of course.. But the fact remains that MSPress hass no mention on its site whatsoever that they even control the publication of this book.

Ryan,
Maybe MS Press is unware of the fact that this book is not on their website. Maybe it could simply be because the book is no longer in print, or is just not supported any longer. The list could go on and on. Whatever the case may be, if you own a copy of the book, you should be entitled to support including but not limited to a CD replacement. Anytime I have ever had a problem with an MS Press Book/CD, I have always contacted them by telephone and asked for a replacement Book/CD which has always been sent out (of course they might ask you to send them back the defective CD which is never a big deal).
As with most Microsoft/MS Press software, distributing the contents of the book's CD would put someone in violation of the license agreement (EULA). Be legit and contact MS Press at their toll-free number listed on their FAQ page.
Regards,

I am attempting to develop an ActiveX control subclassed from the MFC Listbox.
Following the MSDN tutorial, I set everything up through the Control Wizard, including setting LISTBOX as the subclassed windows control. The problem is, the tutorials (I have read several) all say "If you want your subclassed control to keep the same appearance as the corresponding Windows control, the OnDraw member function for the control should contain only a call to the DoSuperclassPaint member function, as in the following example:
void CSampleCtrl::OnDraw( CDC* pdc, const CRect& rcBounds,
const CRect& rcInvalid )
{
DoSuperclassPaint( pdc, rcBounds );
}
"
Which is what the Control Wizard automatically does and which is how I left it. I was thinking that if I just leave it like so, when I add it to a new project, it will draw me a standard-looking listbox. Instead, I get a plain white box. I also tried calling AddString in my project and was informed by the compiler that the method does not exist.
So far I see no evidence of my ActiveX control being subclassed form LISTBOX (I have the following as well provided by class wizard:
BOOL CSampleCtrl::PreCreateWindow( CREATESTRUCT& cs )
{
cs.lpszClass = _T("BUTTON");
return COleControl::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}
BOOL CSampleCtrl::IsSubclassedControl( )
{
return TRUE;
}
)
Why am I just getting a white box?? Are there some message handlers I need to address first?? As for the AddString not working, I'm still a little rusty on subclassing... do I have to add methods for all listbox methods I want to use in my control and just call CListbox::Addstring(blah, blah, blah) in order to use the Listbox Functionality???
I have read a lot of articles and tutorials on subclassing and activex controls and mfc controls and there seems to be something that I don't know that is overlooked or assumed to be obvious. Any ideas??
Tym!

I have a COM+ component which bulk inserts records into a table, which takes 5secs to process one request. If I try executing this component multiple times while it is processing job. SQL server 2000 throws PRIMARY KEY VIOLATION error. How can I lock that table while the component is in process.
Thanks a million

Did you configure the component to require new transaction?

hello 
i am at work and am using an in house activex (ocx) control
the control is zero size and is hidden on my dialog
(it actually talks to the serial port and i didnt write it  )
as usual everything is cool and funky when i run in debug mode
but when i run a release build it falls over when i do things like try and
minimize the app, try and use the menu,
As an exmaple, when i try and use the main dialog's menu (its a dialog based app) the call stack looks like...

does anyone have any suggestions as to how to can tell my app to ignore any exceptions from this naughty ocx?

Are you sure the control is developed properly and anyone else using it doesn't face these problems ,
build an application with nothing but the control on the dialog box if it still crashes its not your fault the control is faulty
or you can use try catch to catch any exceptions and try to ignore them (NOT A GREAT IDEA!!)

All the other apps (VB and used in web pages) seem to work ok
i cant vounch for how well it has been developed as i dont have access to the source code...
but it would appear to the the controls fault (coz when i remove all calls to it my app doesnt crash!)
the control uses callbacks...so catching exceptions is tricky...
how would you trap any/all exceptions from such a control?

Same question. Different forum...
I want to host an IE browser control in my application and provide handling for a custom protocol. I figure I just provide the handler in my app, registering on app startup and unregistering on app shutdown.
It looks, however, like the only way to register a custom protocol handler is globally. Which means that as long as my application is running, ANY instance of IE will be elligible to use my custom protocol handler.
Is there some way to register a custom handler for a specific instance of IE? OR do I have to just put up with this "feature"?

You have to implement the IInternetSession interface instead, as it lasts the current process lifetime. Look here[^] for more details.

I think that's what I'm looking for. Thanks.

hy, i have read a lot about this topic, but didnt found good answers. can anybody explain, how i can code the following VB-code in VC++ ?
Sub DocumentsExample()
MsgBox(DTE.Documents.Count)
End Sub
How can i get this DTE object? the compiler doesent recognises it.
I would like to make an addin for VC++.NET in which i can manipulate the code. (textmanipulations)
can anybody tell me, how i can do this? i dont know how to do things which i coud do in VB with
activedocument.selection , etc..
thanx for any input!!!

When you create an add-in, you implement a set of interfaces, and some of them are passed a pointer to the current DTE instance you are looking for. So you don't really have to worry about it. More info here[^].
(DTE is short for IDTExtensibility2).

unfortunately, i have read all written in your link before. im now working since 2 days at this problem, and i still have no idea how to solve my problem!!!! its making me crazy!
cant you give me a link to a sample add-in (in c++) of an add-in, which simply does the following thing:
clicking on the add-ins button makes, that the currently selected text in VC++.NET (or in Word, id dont care, code will be probably ca. the same)changes, or lets say will be deleted. so you can select some lines of text, click the add-in and the text will be deleted. how can i do this? it cant be this difficult, i think, but i cannot find any explanation of how to code an addin in c++, and no good sample-code
thanx a lot for any help!

I believe you are confusing an add-in and a macro. Why don't just record a macro, and then examine the produced VBscript code to adapt it to more general needs?
