hi
what iam tring to do is iam trying to create tool that closely resembles the working of DbgView .
The way the DbgView tool works is:
You can launch the tool on the system.
OutputDebugString() is a Win32 API. If you use that API in your program, the output will then be shown on DbgView.
SO using this functionality i want to use OutputDebugString() in my applications and i want the output(string in OutputDebugString()) to be shown in servers GUI.
CAn u suggest me how to proceed.
Thanks in Advance

How many applications do you have that need to send output to the server GUI?
If the answer is just one or two, then you could just write a short function to create the COM interface object on the remote server, use it, and then release the interface. The downside of doing this would be that several round trips between the client and server computers would be necessary, resulting in time delays, plus you would need to deal with the security issues in all the client programs, and of course the server.
What sort of scale are we discussing here? How many messages would need to be sent. Would you need to keep the interface open during the total life of the client program, or could it open just when sending messages to the server?
If you wanted to recreate the com interface every time that you wish to send a message, you could write some code like this (using MFC CStrings, but these could be replaced with other types):
int PrintToServerGUI( LPCTSTR szFormat, ... )<br />
{<br />
int nTextLen = 0;<br />
if ( szFormat )<br />
{<br />
CString strOut;<br />
va_list p_arg;<br />
va_start( p_arg, szFormat );<br />
strOut.FormatV( szFormat, p_arg );<br />
nTextLen = strOut.GetLength();<br />
va_end( p_arg );<br />
}<br />
int nWritten = 0;<br />
if ( nTextLen > 0 )<br />
{<br />
IMyServerGUI *pMyServer = NULL;<br />
...
...
...
...<br />
if ( pMyServer )<br />
{<br />
if ( SUCCEEDED( pMyServer->OutputString( strOut ) ) )<br />
{<br />
nWritten = nTextLen;<br />
}<br />
pMyServer->Release();<br />
}<br />
}<br />
return nTextLen;<br />
}
You need to write your own interface creation code for your com interface. Note that is code assumes that you have a function in your interface called OutputString( LPCTSTR pString ).
If there are a lot of applications that need to communicate with the server, then it may be better to use an intermediate server programming on the local client, that would then pass the messages as appropriate to the server program. The advantage would be that in network security terms, you would only need to concern yourself with the traffic between the server and intermediate server.

Thanks for your suggestions.
now instead of server capturing client messages now i want client's Gui capture messages from serevr.
how to proceed further with this.
thanks in advance

Please could you clarify exactly what you are requesting. i.e. Are you looking to receieve messages on your client? Is this the same client as the previous client?
If the client is the same program, then the usual way to allow the server to call the client by using an event sink, which you can search for and read about on CodeProject, and most books on COM. This generally works very well, but the security issues can be a real pain to overcome.
I cannot say any more than this at this stage without knowing more details.

I have an asp page that gathers the file and folder listings of the local client's hard drive by using the ActiveX Object Scripting.FileSystemObject, but I get an "Automation server can't create object" error when I run the site. It throws that error when I try to instantiate the following, "var fos = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');".
I googled this error and almost everyone says to upgrade Windows Scripting, which I did to version 5.6, but I still get the error. Weird thing is that if I run the page locally I get no errors and it works, but if I run the page under my IIS I get this error, so is there a way I can update windows scripting under my IIS or is there an alternative solution to this?

For the first time you have to register the class by command: 'regsvr32 <dll or="" ocx="">'. or inside your programm you have to examine the 'DllRegisterServer' function and call it.

Hello All,
Im using a simple ODBC connection to pull values out of an excel spreadsheet. It seems to work pretty well, except when it gets to columns with multiple 0's. It does not import the 0's even though the column is specified as text in the spreadsheet. Everything else seems to import fine. A sample excel column would look like this:
200,-,00,-,414001,-,0000,.,00,-,704
It wont import the 0 only cells. Im doing a simple import like this:
oCmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM \"" + sName + "$\"";
oCmd.Connection = oConnection;
oDataAdapter.SelectCommand = oCmd;
oDataAdapter.Fill(oDataTable);
Any idea's would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Ryan

Anyone can describe the progress or drag-and-drop in the explorer.exe?
I want to catch the dragged contents in the explorer.exe and how shou I do?
|
|
|
|
|
You cannot catch or hook drag and drop between other applications. The only thing you can do is to register an DragDropHandler for the application. For the explorer it is of your own risk.

I have a fundamental component..
Suppose if I developed a ATL componet(DLL)and
If I want to release to the client what should be given to the client
how the client know the CLSID and IID of this component.
If I am not wrong I should deliver to the client
DLL, TLB.
could anybody clarify me this
thanks
Siva

Hello Siva,
At minimum, deliver the DLL itself plus other dependent DLLs. These must be registered successfully in the client's OS.
Thereafter, if the client uses VC++, the user will need to #import the DLL, e.g. :
#import "MyComponentDLL.dll"
A set of Type Library Header files will be generated by the VC++ compiler.
If the client uses VB, the user will have to reference your DLL.
.NET dev environments (e.g. C#, VB.NET) will also need to reference the DLL.
For other development environments, check out the documentation.
Best Regards,
Bio.

Hi
I would add something. In my work I am using a DLL (Which has been built in C#) and I am using it in VC++ by using COM. Below is how I am doing it in my case.
If client uses VC++, it has to create a Type library (TLB) file from the DLL. In microsoft visual studio (.NET) 2003 there is a tool , Regasm.Exe ..
Use Regasm.exe tool to create TLB file .. Actually it registers the DLL in the system registry as well as creates a TLB file.
Now use this TLB in #import command.
#import "MyComponentDLL.tlb"
A set of Type Library Header files will be generated by the VC++ compiler.
Now Put the TLB file in your working folder and put the DLL in the folder where your solution EXE will be created.
and Start then building the code.

Hello zubair_ahmed,
Yes, COM objects will by default expose its "default" interface. However, you can DIM an object of another interface and cast the original COM object to this interface. Doing so is equivalent to performing QueryInterface().
Here is an example :
'' Let's say TestObject supports its default interface
'' plus TestInterface01 and TestInterface02.
Set TestObjectObj = New TestObject
'' Define objects of the 2 desired interfaces...
Dim TestInterface01Ptr As TestInterface01
Dim TestInterface02Ptr As TestInterface02
'' Cast TestObjectObj to the desired interfaces.
'' This action is equivalent to QueryInterface().
Set TestInterface01Ptr = TestObjectObj
Set TestInterface02Ptr = TestObjectObj
'' Use the interfaces' properties and methods as per normal...
TestInterface01Ptr.strProperty = "Hello"
TestInterface01Ptr.Method01
TestInterface02Ptr.longProperty = 101
TestInterface02Ptr.Method01
'' Set the interfaces to nothing is equivalent to Release()'ing
'' the interface pointers.
Set TestInterface01Ptr = nothing
Set TestInterface02Ptr = nothing
Best Regards,
Bio.

You have to add the IDispatch to all your Interfaces. For further informations see in your documentation how to implement an IDispatch-interface.

This is because you haven't implemented all the methods of the ISimpleObj interface. Looks like the ISimpleObj::total method.

Hi All,
Can Anyone tell me how to implement and export DllRegisterServer from a VB Activex Dll?
I am a complete newbie to VB,sorry about the very basic question.
Thanks and Regards,

Can anyone also tell me what the default implementation of this function in VB does?
Thanks,

Hello Anil_vvs,
Not possible to implement DllRegisterServer() in a VB ActiveX DLL. It is automatically generated for you by the VB IDE and programmers do not have the option of modifying it.

I create a C++ Powerpoint automation test program following the MSDN article "

It's my understanding that for every call to CoInitialize() you need a call to CoUninitialize(), at least that's my interpretation of the documents on MSDN. Please look at my code:
cParse::cParse()<br />
{<br />
try<br />
{<br />
CoInitialize(NULL); <br />
short vi = 1;<br />
xls.CreateInstance(__uuidof(clsXL));<br />
xls->Visible(&vi);<br />
} catch(_com_error &e) {<br />
bstrDesc = e.Description();<br />
MessageBox(NULL,_com_util::ConvertBSTRToString(bstrDesc),0,0);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
cParse::~cParse()<br />
{<br />
try<br />
{<br />
CoInitialize(NULL); <br />
xls->QuitAll();<br />
} <br />
catch(_com_error &e) {<br />
bstrDesc = e.Description();<br />
MessageBox(NULL,_com_util::ConvertBSTRToString(bstrDesc),0,0);<br />
}<br />
CoUninitialize(); <br />
}
If I use it any other way the program crashes. I'm not sure if what I have done is right or wrong (it works), but I would like a better understanding? The commented numbers are to make any replies easier to understand
