Register a DLL server Tony Li21-Jul-00 11:00 Tony Li 21-Jul-00 11:00  I built an ATL COM DLL server. When I tried to register it after its build, some error happened to the registration process. The error says, Performing registration RegSvr32: DllRegisterServer in MyServer.dll failed. Return code was: 0x80070716 I've looked up the error code. It says, "The specified resource name can not be found in the image file." Does anyone know what happened to the registration? Thanks, Tony Re: Register a DLL server Alex Gorev24-Jul-00 11:27 Alex Gorev 24-Jul-00 11:27  Hi, In the header file of your COM object you must have a DECLARE_REGISTRY_RESOURCEID(IDR_MYREG) macro. In the resources you must have a REGISTRY folder with IDR_MYREG defined inside. If you have a look at your *.rc file you will find out, that it just match the registry ID with your *.rgs file, which also must be a part of the project: IDR_MYREG REGISTRY DISCARDABLE "MyReg.rgs" Regards, Alex Gorev, Dundas Software. Re: Register a DLL server Tony Li25-Jul-00 4:17 Tony Li 25-Jul-00 4:17  Thanks! I'm just curious how you find the root of the problem. Tony How do I return an array of objects in C++ to my ASP page. notjeff19-Jul-00 20:08 notjeff 19-Jul-00 20:08  I know how to return an array of variants, such as if I wanted to return an array of integers. What I would like to do is along the lines of returning an array of C++ objects. Here is what I'd like to do: ASP Pseudo Code: <% 'First, get a connection to my catalog component. Set objCatalog = Server.CreateObject("my.Catalog.1") 'Now ask my catalog to find me all itmes that match 'the text I send and return them to me. Set objItems = objCatalog.Find("Books about ASP") 'For each item display its name, price, and then all 'of its pictures. For i = 0 to objItems.Count response.write objItems(i).name response.write objItems(i).price ' Now each book will have 0-20 picutres ' I'll need to have an array of strings ' with the URL to each picture SomeFunctionToGetAndOutHTMLtoShowPictures(objItems(i).pictures) Next %> So my question is how do I get my C++ component to return an array of catalog item "objects." This data is not coming from a database else, I'd just use ADO. My COM component goes out and grabs it dynamically and stores it in a linked list of Catalog objects. Now I just need to know how to get these darn things back to my ASP pages! I've searched high and low on Microsofts site and bought 3 books, but none of them cover anything like this. I'd appreciate any help, hints, scraps, anything at all to even point me in the right direction. I'm going bonkers trying to figure this out. Thanks NJ Re: How do I return an array of objects in C++ to my ASP page. Alex Gorev20-Jul-00 5:38 Alex Gorev 20-Jul-00 5:38  Hi, Returning an object to VBScript means returning an Interface of the object. It can be IDispatch or any other IDispatch derived interface. You can create and return a safearray of variants, where each variant holds an IDispatch to your object... but I think the best thing to do is to implement a collection of objects.

NotJeff IE 5.5: QueryInterface(IPersistStreamInit) fails on frames?!? Mike Morearty19-Jul-00 12:33 Mike Morearty 19-Jul-00 12:33  IE is documented as supporting IPersistStreamInit, so that given a document (an IHTMLDocument), you can get an IPersistStreamInit for it (by calling QueryInterface), and with that you can read the entire original HTML of the page. In IE 5.5, it works for the top-level frameset of a page; however, if, using the DOM, I navigate down to a lower-level frame's IHTMLDocument, QueryInterface(IPersistStreamInit) FAILS! It worked fine in IE 5.0. Suggestions? How can I get an IPersistStreamInit for the frames? Fireing events from a Thread... Daniel Fiske14-Jul-00 2:21 Daniel Fiske 14-Jul-00 2:21  I have a COM object that implements a connection point to fire events. I also have a worker thread that does some task. I pass the thread the pointer of the class that creates the thread, so that it can do calls back into the object. Some of the calls should fire events, but they don't. I'm not sure why....or how to get it to work...ANY ideas? D. Re: Fireing events from a Thread... Alex Gorev14-Jul-00 3:59 Alex Gorev 14-Jul-00 3:59  Hi, Events are signaled by calling the Invoke method of an IDispatch interface supplied by container. The interface lives in the apartment of its own thread, which is also the one containing the control itself. To comply with the STA model, we can only safely call this interface's methods from the thread in which it was created. If the control wants to signal an event from a different thread it must Marshal the IDispatch interface into the IStream first and then UnMarshal it. And of course it must call CoInitialize() too. To Marshal/UnMarshal interface pointers you can use my favorite functions: CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream(...) and CoGetInterfaceAndReleaseStream(...). Regards, Alex Gorev, Dundas Software.

Calling a COM component from ASP pba_7-Jul-00 7:02 pba_ 7-Jul-00 7:02  Hi, Here is the question : I develop a COM component using ATL . In this component I have a method called "BeepMe", from where I want to return a BSTR message , as an out parameter : BeepMe ([out] BSTR* pbstrMessage) when I call it from an ASP page (written in Jscript): var strRet; Component.BeepMe(strRet); the strRet is empty . but, if I declare the pbstrMessage as retval ( BeeepMe([out,retval] BSTR* pbstrMessage) ) , and write : var strRet = Component.BeepMe(); everithing works fine . The pbstrMessage is propertly initialized in the method ( *pbstrMessage = ::SysAllocString(L"Beep") ), so that isn't the problem. I know that the VB script interpreter handle the deallocation of memory , and I suppose that is also the ASP case . That is the cause of this behavior ? ( the ASP interpreter free the memory of the returned value ? ) Re: Calling a COM component from ASP Alex Gorev7-Jul-00 8:42 Alex Gorev 7-Jul-00 8:42  Hi, First of all you should use the SysReAllocString instead of SysAllocString. It's not the source of the problem but it's a correct way of doing things. Before assigning a new value to the pointer you must free the data it's pointing to. STDMETHODIMP CTest::get_Path(BSTR *pVal) { if(pVal == NULL) return E_POINTER; if(!SysReAllocString(pVal, m_bstrPath)) return E_OUTOFMEMORY; return S_OK; } Your problem is that in VBScript and JScript cannot pass parameters by reference to automation properties or methods. Use return values of properties and methods to return a value instead of using byref parameters for this purpose. This approach limits you to one return value. Regards, Alex Gorev, Dundas Software. How to get IDispatch of an instance of Excel in C++ DLL called from Excel xla? leo6-Jul-00 2:11 leo 6-Jul-00 2:11  Hi I have created a c++ dll which works great in excel 2000, as I launch it as a com add-in, and get access to the IDispatch of the calling instance of excel via OnConnection (IDTExtensibility2). I would like to be able to launch the dll from excel 97, via an xla (or xll), which is not a problem, but I do not know how to get the IDispatch of the instance of excel that has the xla (or xll) running. (Excel.Application is no good, as it only finds the first instance of Excel.) If anyone knows the answer, please let me know Thanks! Re: How to get IDispatch of an instance of Excel in C++ DLL called from Excel xla? leo10-Jul-00 4:37 leo 10-Jul-00 4:37  Hi I have worked out how to do it from an xla , but if anyone knows how to do the same in an xll please let me know.

I want to attach to an existing instance, and using AttachDispatch with Excel.Application, is no solution as it will only find the first instance of excel. As I mentioned in my prior message, it is easy from a xla, but I would still be curious how to find the correct IDistatch from an xll (or any c++ written application). For your information, a much better method than proposed in Q192348 is Q186427. The closest MSDN example to my problem is found in Q190985, but there, Excel is running as a container.

How can i get pointer on my BHO object from my CommBand object ? Re: How to get Browser Helper Object pointer ? Alex Gorev4-Jul-00 6:14 Alex Gorev 4-Jul-00 6:14  Hi, The instance of the Browser Helper Object is created each time Internet Explorer starts. You can create an instance of the CommBand object while creating BHO object and then set the internal pointer. You can also create singleton component, which will be holding the list of the interface pointers to all BHO objects. Each time the BHO object is created it adds the interface pointer to the table. You can also save any additional information you like. Then you can easily access all available interfaces. Regards, Alex Gorev, Dundas Software.
