Hi I have an ATL plugin which needs to receive the "WM_DISPLAYCHANGE" message, when windows resolution changes.
I've added a handler as follows
class ATL_NO_VTABLE CWebPluginControl :
public CComObjectRootEx<ccomsinglethreadmodel>,
public IDispatchImpl,
public IPersistStreamInitImpl<cwebplugincontrol>,
public IOleControlImpl<cwebplugincontrol>,
public IOleObjectImpl<cwebplugincontrol>,
public IOleInPlaceActiveObjectImpl<cwebplugincontrol>,
public IViewObjectExImpl<cwebplugincontrol>,
public IOleInPlaceObjectWindowlessImpl<cwebplugincontrol>,
public ISupportErrorInfo,
public IPersistStorageImpl<cwebplugincontrol>,
public ISpecifyPropertyPagesImpl<cwebplugincontrol>,
public IQuickActivateImpl<cwebplugincontrol>,
public IDataObjectImpl<cwebplugincontrol>,
public IProvideClassInfo2Impl<&CLSID_WebPluginControl, &DIID__IWebPluginControlEvents, &LIBID_WebPluginLib>,
public IObjectSafetyImpl<cwebplugincontrol,>,
public IConnectionPointContainerImpl<cwebplugincontrol>,
public IConnectionPointImpl<cwebplugincontrol,&diid__iwebplugincontrolevents>,
public IPropertyNotifySinkCP<cwebplugincontrol>,
public IPersistPropertyBagImpl<cwebplugincontrol>,
public CComCoClass<cwebplugincontrol,>,
public CComControl <cwebplugincontrol>,
public CProxy_IWebPluginControlEvents<cwebplugincontrol>
...
CWebPluginControl();
~CWebPluginControl();
BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CWebPluginControl)
...
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_DISPLAYCHANGE, OnDisplayChange)
...</cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></cwebplugincontrol></ccomsinglethreadmodel>
But my OnDisplayFunction never gets hit when i change resolutions. So my question is, does IE(using IE 7) forward this message? If so why am I not able to pick it up?
Thanks for your time,
Chris

The evidence certainly points to 'no', doesn't it?
The easiest way to check is to stick a conditional breakpoint on the BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CWebPluginControl) line, set to trigger when WM_DISPLAYCHANGE is received (looking at the definition of the BEGIN_MSG_MAP macro in atlwin.h, the message ID is sent in the parameter uMsg). If this doesn't trigger, then you could use Spy++[^] or Winspector[^] to confirm that IE is receiving WM_DISPLAYCHANGE.
One possible work-around - check the screen resolution in each message handler and react appropriately when you detect a change. I would have thought that you'd get a WM_PAINT pretty soon after the resolution change, which you could use as a trigger.

Thanks, I tried your suggestion using the breakpoint and using spy++ and I see the message going into IE but not being passed to my plugin. So as you said I'm using the WM_PAINT message now, and detecting a resolution change.
Thanks,
Chris

I created a BHO project with C++ for IE, I retrieve a response time (end to end) for page. but I need more information : the download timing for each object in page, all request sending...
Have you any idea?
Thanks

It's been a while since I've looked at WebBrowser events, but I don't think you get a notification with a URL for each item in the page. You can listen for DownloadBegin and DownloadEnd, but those don't have any parameters; you're guaranteed to get one for each item that the browser downloads, but you don't get the actual URLs.

Thanks for response.
yes, it's right. but I found a tool(httpwatch,) that use add-ons to watch or spy Internet explorer, and of course without a proxy. so the solution is exist.
I would know how it's worked?
best regards.

Hi,
I have worked on ATL projects in VC2003 and above, but I have never created them from scratch. They have all originally been projects that evolved from VC6 code.
How do people handle deployment and dependencies of the projects? Under VC6 the .idl file is shown as being part of the project, and therefore you could modify where the .tlb and .h and .c files where generated. At my current company we have a .\TLB directory off the branch root. How can I make the .tlb file end up there? I cannot see either the idl file, or its project settings.

Hah Hah  I've figured it out. The ATL project had been supplied to be by a collegue, and he had left the defaulted "Attributed" item in the ATL Project wizard.
If you create a project and clear this the .idl files appear just as they did with VC6.
|
|
|
|
|
How do people who create attributed atl projects manage the output files?

Does anyone know what valid values can be returned from FinalConstruct?
Originally I was helping out some colleagues on how to set the error information in an ATL component. They wanted to be able to set the COM error information. I showed them what to do so that their COM object implemented ISupportErrorInfo. They want to return information to the client if there is an error accessing certain state information needed for the COM object to do its job. So I told them to put their code in FinalConstruct, but they are saying that the error info in _com_error::Description() is blank. An HRESULT had been set in _com_error, but it just showed as a hex value when added to the watch window with m"_hRes, hr".
When they created their COM object they didn't know to click supports ISupportErrorInfo in the atl object wizard, so this has all been added by hand.
I tried to test this using a dummy com object implementation on my PC, but the client returns REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG. I did find a nntp message saying that you should not set any rich error info in FinalConstruct but just to return an HRESULT. However if I return any HRESULT other than S_OK, the client returns REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG.
I have tried other code of ours that tries to set rich error info with AtlReportError etc, but I don't think this ever gets called because they are just constructing other COM objects that usually succeed. When I deliberately change the active code line to set the error information then they too return REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG.
|
|
|
|
|
Is it possible that the error code is right and their class *hasn't* yet been registered?
|
|
|
|
|
No, its runtime dependent. For example I can make FinalConstruct's return value dependent on the existence of a file returning S_OK if present and E_OUTOFMEMORY if not and REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG is caught when the file is absent.

Ah, sorry - didn't quite pick up on that 
Anyway - I knocked up a little ATL server project and a client and I get the same behaviour as you (good start). Stepping back through the call stack (and keeping an eye on the value of EAX as that's where function return values are stored), it would seem that the REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG is introduced inside ole32.dll, i.e. by Windows, because after your InprocServer fails to construct properly, OLE attempts to load your class using other COM server types (e.g. out-of-process server).
To cut a long story short, the correct HRESULT gets passed back to your client so long as you use the correct <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms693716(VS.85).aspx">CLSCTX</a>[<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms693716(VS.85).aspx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] enumeration in your call to CoCreateInstance.
Here's the code I used which picks up the correct HRESULT - my server is an in-process server (i.e. implemented in an ATL DLL project).
::CoInitialize(0);
CComPtr<IUnknown> wibble;
HRESULT hr = wibble.CoCreateInstance(CLSID_paf, 0, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER);
To re-iterate, using the appropriate CLSCTX enumeral should allow you to retrieve the correct HRESULT.

Wow! Excellent work, thanks for your help.
It seems however that you cannot use ISupportErrorInfo, the _com_error::Description is blank. This does however seem to confirm what I read in the microsoft newsgroups, that your not supposed to set any rich error information inside FinalConstruct. This doesn't seemed to be mentioned in MSDN, but then neither is there any info on REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG for that matter.
Many, many thanks the important thing is they can return an error code from CreateInstance.

My application working fine in the dev environment.But in the testing /production environment
it is not working because that environment has only
windows server 2003
IIS
.net2.0 framework
In my application I have Used some microsoft VC++ dll's also along with .net dll's.
Now Iam getting "RUNTime Error" pop-up screen message as below
" The Application has been terminated in an Unusual Way"
On googling i came to know that some dll's like msvcrt.dll of windows server 2003 has to be changed...But Iam not pretty sure about it..
In Production/test environment there is only framework installed ,but there is no visual studio installed on it.may be due that this error may occur...
So kindly post your suggestions and views to help me
I tried the following as suggested by you:
1. I have installled the redistributable package suggested by you.
after installing i restarted the PC even now also I got the same runtime pop-up error.
2. Then I checked even with the dependency walker for the dll.
I found that there is no miising dll.
3. Then I tried by installing Visual C++ express edition..even then also i got the same pop-up error.
Kindly help me.....

IIRC, this generally means an exception's being raised. The error could (shock! horror!) be in your own code - can you put WinDbg [^] on the server and debug it on there? Or even remote debug on the server?
Just noticed that VC++ Express is installed on the machine - you *could* debug with that. If your issue is with a Release build, turn on debug information for the Release build (you can do that without turning off any optimisations) and make sure you copy PDB files with the EXE.

For example,
class line
{
private:
list<point> m_points;
list<point>::iterator m_selected_point;
}</point></point>
and if no point is selected, I can't write m_selected_point=NULL, how to write it?

As you have control of the lsit and iterator, it should be safe enough. Lists are easier to do this with than vectors or deques, as list iterators are (IIRC) unaffected by insertions or deletions.
Instead of m_selected_point=NULL, use m_selected_point=m_points.end().

Hello!
I am working on a C# COM-Server and a C++ COM client app. The client in fact loads a dll-plugin containing the COM client in a class that acts as a com event reciever:
extern "C"
__declspec(dllexport)
int ndofInit();
extern "C"
__declspec(dllexport)
void* ndofOpen(void* wnd);
extern "C"
__declspec(dllexport)
void ndofShutdown(void* deviceHandle);
[ event_receiver(com) ]
[ module(type=dll, name="NDOF") ]
class NDOFServer
{
public:
NDOFServer() {}
virtual ~NDOFServer();
...
}
Everytime I start the client I get the following error:
Debug Assertion failed!
Program ...
File: C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\atlmfc\include\atlbase.h
Line 2706
Expression _pAtlModule == 0
Clicking Retry and returning to my code reveals that this error occurs when the constructor of NDOFServer() is called.
The constructor is called this way by the client app:
extern "C"
__declspec(dllexport)
int ndofInit()
{
if (sNdofServer == NULL)
sNdofServer = new NDOFServer();
return 1;
}
This error seems not to occur when the client plugin-DLL is used with another COM server offering the same classes etc. written in C++ (whose code I do not know).
I tried to switch some more or less relevant options in the project properties like:
- MFC usage static/shared/Windows shared
- ATL usage static/shared/none
- minimize CRT usage in ATL yes/no
- CLR support no/CLR
stdafx.h looks like this:
#if defined(_WIN32)
#ifndef WINVER // Allow use of features specific to #define WINVER 0x0501 // Change this to to target other
#endif
#ifndef _WIN32_WINNT // Allow use of features specific to
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501 // (was 0x0501) Change to target other versions
#endif
#ifndef _WIN32_WINDOWS // Allow use of features specific to
#define _WIN32_WINDOWS 0x0410 // Change this to target Windows Me or later.
#endif
#ifndef _WIN32_IE // Allow use of features specific to IE
#define _WIN32_IE 0x0600 // Change this to target other versions of IE.
#endif
#define _ATL_APARTMENT_THREADED
#define _ATL_NO_AUTOMATIC_NAMESPACE
#define _ATL_CSTRING_EXPLICIT_CONSTRUCTORS
#include <atlbase.h>
#include <atlcom.h>
<---->
//#include <atlwin.h>
//#include <atltypes.h>
//#include <atlctl.h>
//#include <atlhost.h>
--> commenting these headers out did neither help nor hurt
using namespace ATL;
#import "progid:AerionInput.Device" embedded_idl no_namespace
#endif //_WIN32
The C# DLL is nothing spectacular and the "main" class(or the first one being instanciated), which is not instanciated at this time. The COM-visible interface looks like this:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace AerionInput
{
[
Guid("CB3BF65E-0816-482A-BB11-64AF1E837812"),
InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsDual)
]
public interface ISimpleDevice
{
int Type
{
get;
}
IKeyboard Keyboard
{
get;
}
ISensor Sensor
{
get;
}
void Connect();
void Disconnect();
void LoadPreferences(string preferencesName);
}
}
And the AssemblyInfo.cs reads this like:
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("TDxInput")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("")]
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("n/a")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("TDxInput")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright © n/a 2008")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
[assembly: ComVisible(true)]
[assembly: Guid("7858b9e0-5793-4be4-9b53-661d922790d2")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.0.0")]
I am doing this on Windows 2000 with Visual Studio 2005 Pro latest SP and .NET 2.0.50727 SP1.

It's been a while since I did any ATL dev but that seems like a fundamental ATL error. Meaning you don't have your project configured or initialized properly for ATL use. Do you have any experience using ATL? If not, and you want to use it, I recommend you take the time to study the technology enough to understand the basics. There are plenty of resource on MSDN and I would imagin also here on Code Project that would help, IF you are a beginner.

Yes, I am a new to ATL. But I did not program the C++ Client app, it is a GPLed source done by someone who should know the basics well enough. Moreaover as the binary compiled from this source by the author works well, without errors. So I think you are right when you say this is an error due to a wrong inititalization of the project. Next thing is that this project is done with Visual C++ 6.0 or 7.0 and I had to convert it to VC 2005. Perhaps this conversion caused the error? Or could compiling with VC 8.0 can be the reason?
Unfortunately I cannot ask the author himself. Thatswhy I ask here.
You are right, I will have to read some more about ATL. But reading about ATL troubleshooting (what I did) did not solve my problems here.

I don't know what "works well" means. If you mean it compiles without error, the problem being reported by the ASSERT only happens at runtime so there is no compile error that will report it.

Yes because troubleshooting information is going to assume prerequisite knowledge of ATL fundamentals.
Christian Bayer wrote: Perhaps this conversion caused the error? Or could compiling with VC 8.0 can be the reason?
Yes it could be a problem, however of course ATL is still supported in all the newer Visual Studio versions. I am not aware of any specific changes to the structure of ATL at that level. AtlModule, if I remember correctly, is an aspect of getting the per Process or per Thread context set up correctly for the ATL libraries to function.
Also the client application must have some sort of configuration requirements to know about COM components it is being directed to use. It is possible you have not satisfied those configuration requirements.

I am not an english native speaker, so I don't know if my sentence was not clear enough: In the source package there was already compiled binary of the client. It was compiled by the author of it a year ago and not me. This binary does not produce the above ATL related error message, nor any other error.
So yes, this error happens only at runtime and is therefore not detected by the compiler (in which case I would not have been able to compile it and report runtime error messages here..)
My project is completely done, everything works as it should (I hope), the only known problem left is the nagging MessageBox popping up everytime the application is started.

I am not quite sure if there is something wrong with that. But from what I have read on the net about it (I know that you don't believe me if I say it was a lot) the COM init part should be ok. Above all because every COM related function, data structure and event works very well within the client.
If there is something left to connect all these COM structures to something like an "ATL environment", this could cause the error. But remember the above lines, the original binary of the client using the same source but another VC version and perhaps some other non-source code related preferences works without errors.

Oh that sounds different than what I previously understood. So the application functions property once you dismiss the messagebox? An assert should only be triggered if the project is compiled in _DEBUG. If you can re-compile the binary in release mode it should stop displaying that message.
Again what I just said is ONLY if I now understand your situation correctly.

You do. The program runs just fine if you click ignore (which is strange enough for me).
Oh my... I did not think of that... In Release mode the Box is really gone, could have been thinking of that earlier..
But there is still the question why this assertion is triggered. Ok, I can release my app now when I know how this box vanishes but there should be a reason for that, though...
This is also the explanation why the shipped binary "works" - it simply has the same error.
But ok - my project is not the reason for that error and this helps a lot (because this client app is not my problem domain, only the COM-server is) and I do not have to fiddle around with that. Although it would be nice if the GPLed client app can be fixed. If you are still interested, you can download it here:
